Yes, we've proven that, remember?

1) What's with westside? 2) This thread has already proven that second hand smoke is harmful. 3) I doubt you know more on the topic than the doctors. 4) Why would doctors be lying? If anything they...

I'm sick of the analogies. On both arguments. Because analogies aren't always accurate and are rarely 100% equal to the argument being made.

This thread's still alive? I thought you all quit smoking already.

Smoking is easy to prohibit in schools. Other things are not. Smoke from vehicles: they usually don't operate within the school. Minute spores floating: nothing you can do. Dirt: Keep the classroom...

There's a reason you can't smoke in schools and hospitals. Can you guess why? And I'd love for you to explain to me how smoking is not a self-provoked death? It is the number one preventable cause of...

Oh, what hospital does your mom work at? Maybe they know each other.

Really? I haven't looked at the link yet, but my mom works at the Cleveland Clinic and she smokes.

That's because when they are right, you don't know about it.

I don't know about the secret service. But I J.F.K. talked about dismantling the C.I.A. I'll start a new thread on it.

The thing is, his assassination wasn't necessary to protect the citizens. It was necessary for the CIA to remain a part of the in existence as part of the bureaucracy.

Personally, I think the CIA does do things that violate our liberties and we even know about it. We just don't know it is the CIA's doing. For example I am one of those crazy theorists that thinks...

Heyyy, someone got it. Thanks. And I wasn't trying to be offensive if anyone took it that way.

Yeah, you're right. Thought it would be okay cause someone made a comment about it earlier in this thread.

>Have you truly proven the hypothesis? Or has it only been 'proven' within a very narrow range of definition? Have you, as Dave's links tried to point out, accounted for all possible variables other...

>put thousands of people out of work

Better than killing themselves.

>Medically, it's not.

So smoking is not a self-provoked death?

>Remember I have not even mentioned places like...

The Illuminati

I agree with that. And I think it has been demonstrated before.

Yeah there are a lot of infringements on this freedom.

Wow, now I feel accomplished. I got an opponent in a debate to agree with me on something.

Can't argue with that (the truth of it, not the principle) but it has happened a lot.

>an example of how the bill of rights has been stretched out of context.

Here's one. Freedom of speech. No law shall abridge this freedom. Yet there are alien and sedition acts (along with...

Dave, you claim that you are trying to get us to question ourselves, scientific data, and trying to get us to back ourselves up with evidence. After doing all of this you are still persistent. I fail...

>Isn't that the nature of science? Present a hypothesis, test it, find flaws, refine it, retest, ...?

OR present a hypothesis, test it, prove it, and hear criticism from Dave Sinkula.

>Do you get different answers for calculating, say, velocity?

Yes, read up on quantum physics.

Here is a very ligitimate website that includes professors and doctors. In it is information (involving more studies) that show how harmful second hand smoke can be.

"Smoking causes 90% of all cancers. It is a major cause of throat cancer, stroke, coronary heart disease and erectile dysfunction,” says Dr Kuppusamy Iyawoo, Head of the Institute of Respiratory...

Studies have been done and experiments that prove some of the effects of second hand smoke. That is the definition of proof. If you want to deny that then you will lose your own credibility. Deny it...

Bush is never ever going to let us go anywhere near socialism. We aren't close now anymore than we were in the past two hundred thirty years.

You asked for it. Here's a little proof.

"A recent landmark experiment in healthy young nonsmokers revealed that a mere 30 minute...

In the Constitution and not an amendment. (from wikipedia)

(Not to sound like a jerk, just for clarification)

Nope, never....Prove me wrong (your own medicine doesn't taste too good does it?)

Thanks for proving me right.

I'm 99% sure the Constitution included the 3/5th compromise

...................no it didn't........prove me wrong.

Many people would disagree with you. Who are you to say one form of government is wrong just because you don't agree with it? In some countries they love their leader with a passion and they would...

That was certainly not an amendment. The 3/5th compromise was in the articles of the Constitution itself.

And without the opposition of the people, if that's what the people want, then why is it so bad? (Hypothetically)

Put it this way. If they brought back slavery there would be a revolution, led by me. I wouldn't fall easily. I would even have the larger portion of the military on my side and many politicians.

I guess now we should let murder be legal because the ban on murder is for the good of everyone which is a doctrine that you seem to disagree with.
