What are the laws in Colorado regarding smoking anything in cars with children? I'll go with their wisdom on the issue.

No sir. This is demonstrably false.

Many OTHERWISE GOOD PEOPLE do a *few* questionable things, do they not? We are none of us perfect. Does a single flaw make us instantly all bad? Most would say no...

Some Vegans probably say anyone who encourages their child to eat meat is a horrific monster who should never have kids. Does that make it so? Well, they could argue the health benefits... but eating meat doesn't have the social stigma that smoking does... today, the only truly SAFE group to utterly disparage is smokers...

My parents smoked with me in the car as a kid... and I guarantee you they loved me. I have 1000x as much proof of that as I need. That they had feet of clay and a few faults doesn't change that.


Now how about we lay off the ridiculous extremes and talk about this like rational persons instead of knee-jerk zealots....

I'm sure your parents loved you, but it was still ignorant of them to smoke around you when you were a child, unless they were from a time when it wasn't known how bad it is for you. I don't want to make a new law, but I just wish people would practice a little common sense when it comes to their kids. People can still smoke outdoors, even though it isn't always comfortable, at least the child doesn't have to breathe that poison into his/her lungs.

Of course you can blow marijuana smoke in your child's face all day everyday, even in cars.

You want to ban that too?

If you were paying any attention at all, you would realize that I never asked to ban anything. Now, who said anything about it being alright to blow marijuana smoke in a child's face all day long?
 
scatt said:
You support it?

As I already stated, NO.

I think it's obvious you've been caught making a hyperbolic and completely retarded statement. :)
 
Seriously, why do you want the right to blow smoke in childrens face?
 
scatt said:
Rights are made up.



You do not support the ban? Why did you ask me about blowing marijuana smoke in a child's face?

Hello?! You are the one who brought up blowing marijuana in children's faces. No one else. Should I fetch your post?
 
scatt said:
Is that not smoking?

There is nothing worse than a poster who is intellectually dishonest. You made a hyperbolic statement, and the dumb part about it is that it does absolutely NOTHING to advance your point. :doh It was just a ridiculous comment. Not one person here has said that they think it is okay to smoke marijuana in your car while children are present either.

It is a sign of desperation when you cannot make your point in a logical manner, and people here are intelligent enough to see that.

Why did you repeat my post? Are you trying to make some kind of point, because it is a failure if so. :lol: This shows a complete lack of integrity to say the least.

You believe I repeated your entire post? Other than being demonstrably false, this shows a complete lack of integrity to say the least.

:laughat:

Look, do you have any kind of valid way to back your point besides hyperbole and acting foolish? If not, you've lost the argument.

Dude, you do know that by doing this you're violating the rules? Just a friendly warning. :lol: It's called flaming, baiting and trolling. Jeez, you would think people would be intelligent enough to be familiar with the rules, but I guess not.

Okay, I'm going to try to be the reasonable one here and try a new approach. Do you think that smoking in the car with your children present is harmless?
 
Let's see if scatt (LOL) can come up with anything besides childish tactics.
 
scatt said:
I know it is not always harmful.

Oh really? And you know this how? Do you have links or studies that you yourself have performed that prove the carcinogens in cigarette smoke do not affect children's lungs while smoking in a confined space? Because if so, you should really think about releasing this newly found data to the AMA. I'm sure it would be invaluable. :)
