benches, parks

Post by Satellite » 17th Dec, '09, 22:15

Ok not really parks but benches, sitting areas along orchard road, outside takashimaya and such like places.

Always being occupied by smokers. So annoying!@!!! These smokers are just plain inconsiderate. coming close to me and baby to smoke when tehre are lots of other "vacant" spots.

That's disgusting !!! I am shocked of this behaviour. Those §$%§@$ are worse than all those inconsiderate cars driving along Orchard Road, surely those fumes aren't healthy either. ;)

What they really need is somewhere indoors, sealed off and not accessible to children like...oooh, I don't know....maybe a bar?

Oh no. Of course. I forgot. The health Nazis banned smoking in bars, forcing people to smoke on the streets....what goes around comes around....

Never mind all that, although the people with kiddies can be a pain.

More importantly, when are they going to do something about all the ugly people in the streets? So unappealing!!

If you did something about the uglies in the streets, they'd never be anything but tourists on Australia's streets!

If only smokers had considered the health of non smokers in bars and policed themselves by going somewhere else to smoke (where only smokers were affected) then this wouldn't have been a problem. It's shown how absolutely selfish (most) smokers are.

Er.. so if they had self-policed themselves by not smoking in bars, then they would have had to smoke outside and the end result would have been the same. The only thing to do with smokers is to 'cut off their goolies' if they have them or steal their handbags if not

So, smoking can be cured by cutting off their goolies? BoD for next Surgeon General! :o

So. They're not allowed to smoke in bars and they're shouldn't be allowed to smoke outside bars.

And you call smokers selfish?
