Reply #196: Why not allow minors in strip joints then?

Trying to equate non-smokers with oppressed minorities is, while amusing, just plain stupid. Smokers have been the minority for decades, if not forever. I guess you enjoy oppressing minorities who don't share your personal minority status, hmm?

Blanket regulation is bullshit. Businesses are not equal, despite the legal definition. Just because that definition states that a business is public doesn't mean it is actually accessible by the entire public, nor should it necessarily be. Thus, passing bans based on that definition as if it is accurate in that sense is dishonest and wrong.
