Is it a permanent ban? If so, what happened...

I think they just refused to fall in line🤷
Man, I wish I had those flaws sometimes...🥳

I honestly can't tell if I'm part Chinese or part Kurdish, since my mom's side traces back to China while my dad's roots go straight to Kurdistan.
Or maybe I’m some kind of American woman at heart, considering I used to hold that citizenship! Wait, scratch that—we're talking about actual heritage here, so I guess that doesn't count.😛😂🤣

No offense intended, but this whole poll belongs in a Madhouse!
Who actually gives a damn about everyone's labels anyway? What even is the police? Is it just the CIA acting like local cops?

Don't worry, Grandma, you're anonymous... 😉 just write American and 🙂

It’s nonsense. This shouldn't even be under scrutiny—so what if it was Runjanin?
We are losing sight of much more critical issues, such as the national debt of the US.
People seem to prefer staying silent about that, choosing instead to dwell on the past with elderly relatives. 😂😂😂😂

They'll distract the public for a week😂 and while everyone is busy trying to figure out who this guy is (who I couldn't care less about),😲 they'll just invent some American from the 18th century🙄 who supposedly came up with the American Coat of Arms with the white field...😱

And while we're all caught up in this excitement and arguing, they're using the commotion to their advantage...👍

Anthony Kim18 said:I honestly don't get how anyone could be happy about their daughter bringing a terrorist right into their home!

Personally, I'm more curious about the people who chose to move in with a terrorist permanently...😱 knowing just as much about him as the bride does😂 😂 maybe they just have really big feet...😬

thanks, kid

🤣 🤣 Who exactly are we talking about...🤣

I honestly prefer these ones much more, for goodness' sake... they're just the truth... 🍿

Lisa Morales4 said:Whatever you say...👍

Just go to bed... and dream of better days...🙂

My shoulder is actually aching from exhaustion right now🙂

I'll talk to you all tomorrow, dear friends. Goodnight...

Lisa Morales4 said:Unfortunately, mine are huge, and each one costs nearly $500 with the XRay included... which is basically my entire round-trip ticket back to the States just for four fillings...

Cheers!

Why worry about teeth ,just brush them regularly and when you think you've dealt with enough trouble😲 just pull them all and get a completely new set (pearl white) for $300 at the dentist🥳

William Morales said:Don't you remember that they were handing out compliments to you, too? They’re just those subtle, sneaky types who would never dream of being caught... 😍 ...before you end up offending him... 😬 🤣

Vilko...
🙂 😉

🤣 I honestly had no idea I'd even offended him...🤣 🤣

It looks like trouble is finding its way back to me again... even though I haven't done anything wrong...😎 When you get as sensitive as an old lady at a bingo hall...😁

Richard Booth35 said:Anyway, Sjor Vilko, you have to admit that the lady has... Beautiful teeth and lovely legs...
👍

Look at this...😁 He didn't miss a thing... 🤣

William Morales said:Oh, Richard Booth35... you're being naive, or maybe just pretending...those photos aren't hers if you actually check the image source under "properties" when you click on them..........🤣 As for the way I write... if I had actually written it that way, I'd have been called out immediately for being crude and disrespectful....😬 🤣

Vilko, go check how to upload images from your webcam onto tinypic.com😉

tt: Now I don't even have to study from the textbook. I'll just read everything you posted, grab a few diagrams, and I might actually win a Dean's Award... haha😬

Best,😁

Lilly 🤣 this is basically half the exam already👍 Just soak up some of Jamie Newman40's commentary and our anti-smoking campaign😁 and you'll be at the top of your class🤣 🤣

Come on, good luck to you😘

Well, if it still hasn't clicked for you yet🙏 that was a really clear and vivid way to put it, honest...😉

northernsailor said:when I first saw this thread, I told myself I wouldn't get too involved, but seeing what people are posting... it makes it seem like smokers are just unintelligent, smelly, second-class citizens who deserve to be wiped out...
I think it's time for a "do you drink" thread...🤣 haha

Hey😁

In Canada, you were never allowed to smoke at work👍 anyone caught doing it gets fired on the spot👍

northernsailor said:I won't write much...
I guess I just have to say what's on my mind...
Any reasonable business leader wouldn't dream of discriminating against their employees based on whether they smoke or not...

It’s also incredibly important for the employer...

I won't get into whether they're looking ahead at how long that worker stays on the job or what their health insurance costs might look like, because then we'd have to start considering people just sitting around on Coke sipping drinks without lifting a finger, but...

This is just one of the many reasons why smokers end up doing more harm than good...👎

So there's no smoking allowed in the offices or around here, but if you're out on the balcony or in a designated room, I don't really see what the issue is...

If you want to smoke at home wherever you like without anyone complaining, then go ahead and have all five...

Who would actually want an irritable worker who automatically kills their own productivity with their bad attitude and then just passes that stress onto everyone else on the team...

It looks like you really have all the tricks down... 😁 What kind of employer—and what kind of colleagues—would actually need to step up their game just to keep us happy...😁 Addiction treatment shouldn't be handled within the corporate offices themselves... 👎 Just like I wouldn't let a smoker blow smoke in my face, I wouldn't tolerate them taking their addiction out on me...

I still remember my first job at an ice cream parlor... they told me I couldn't mention that I smoked or they wouldn't hire me. I really needed the work, so I just did what they said...
I've been thinking about nothing but a cigarette all day; by the end of my shift, I'll be ready to kill for one...

I'm sorry, but this is already for medical treatment...👎

I would have stepped outside, one cigarette after another, just standing there in the plaza as the number 6 streetcar rolled by... I'd still be smoking... complete intoxication... every single nerve in my body was going wild...

And who exactly should be blamed for those frayed nerves of yours?

Honestly, any kind of discrimination against smokers just feels disgusting to me...

So we're actually the same, because I feel that same level of repulsion toward smokers myself😁

It’s starting to feel like this is just some trend used when people run out of inspiration to fight other actual issues...

This isn't anything new. If things were like they used to be in Canada, where smokers could claim their rights and step outside for fresh air instead of being forced to inhale the smoke of someone else's passion indoors, these drastic measures to protect our rights as non-smokers wouldn't even exist today...👍

jadetiger10, I really hope you aren't facing a total prohibition over there...👍

Hey...🙂

No, I don't care what you do in your own free time. Go ahead and host a massive smoke fest if you want, just do it out in a field—not in restaurants, banks, or any public spaces

Jamie Newman40 said:Since you didn't answer, what would you prefer instead?

There isn't really a choice here 😁

Or maybe you are... "who would be crazy enough to lock themselves in a garage with a running car," which means you know perfectly well that cars are harmful, especially since exhaust fumes can kill you quite quickly.

The atmosphere is massive, 😉which is why people drive outside rather than in their bedrooms😁

Okay, so pull the car out of the garage, drive around town, go shopping—all those fumes still head straight into the atmosphere. What's the actual difference then, a smoker on the street versus a car on the street? Who is doing more damage to the environment and to people?

It is medically proven what smokers suffer from, including their immediate family members 😎 I think you know this very well, and you're just playing games because this debate doesn't serve your interests😁

In the United States alone, there were 44.5 million adult smokers (back in 2004), whereas there are 204 million cars—not even counting trucks, heavy machinery, or planes—compared to 191 million drivers (2003). Who poses a greater threat to lives, cars or smokers?

I'm surprised drivers aren't lying all over the roads and highways poisoned, or at least carrying oxygen tanks on their cars😁

That neighbor of yours chose to smoke; he fell and killed himself. Sure, smokers are more prone to lung cancer, but how is it that non-smokers get it too? Maybe from your car?

Don't tell me you don't own a car...🤣

Jamie Newman40 said:What kind of benefits do smokers get from your car...

Two women rely on my car just to get to work, since there isn't any bus service running in that direction...👍

Didn't I mention the industrial sector and power plants earlier? If we're going to ban everything that causes harm, then we might as well go all the way... everything... It’s easy to be a hypocrite and only ban what doesn't suit you, while claiming whatever fits your own interests isn't harmful as long as you're still using it...

Slowly, it took us years and years to get all this sorted out...😁

Nick isn't exactly forcing you to go out and hang with smokers...

Does this mean an employer considers whether they'll be hanging out with a smoker during the hiring process...?

So, tell me, how exactly do smokers discriminate against non-smokers?...

I mentioned before that I deal with allergic asthma, but honestly, it’s none of your business what bothers me...😬 I just hope you all enjoy yourselves...👎

I've really enjoyed reading your posts, but I guess even you have your flaws...😁

Jamie Newman40 said:Just go into the garage, close the door, start your car engine, and wait there.

It's better than sharing a garage with a smoker who might finish an entire pack...

Which would you prefer?

Who would be crazy enough to lock themselves in a garage with a running car?😁 That's why there are reckless smokers who basically inhale smoke directly into their lungs...👍 Now my neighbor uses an oxygen tank instead of cigarettes...😲 We lost one friend to eternal rest two years ago, and we said goodbye to an aunt last December...👎 They were all heavy smokers...😲 😁 Emphysema and lung cancer kill smokers, and they often take non-smokers down with them because those people are forced to breathe the smoke around them...😲

Jamie Newman40 said:I’m not talking about accidents; I mean car exhaust emissions.

Once people start having their mouths directly against an exhaust pipe, I suspect it will be banned...😁
