The admins have banned Herr_Voss. It seems k2 is a satire free zone.

What is it about the concept of satire that confuses so many on this site?

But since I'm not, are you going to ban me from replying to someone who doesn't comment to me first? And yeah, the smoke just hangs there for hours waiting for you to come along. I bet you're one of those anti-smoking zealots who sees someone light up across the street and then starts coughing and complaining because your feeble little hypochondriac mind is so easily influenced. Can't you feel the lung cancer growing inside you just from commenting on this thread? Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :-) Thu, 17 May 2012 05:52:15 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/No-smoking-at-the-Oregon-Zoo-as-of-May-26-151765535.html#IDComment361907971 http://www.katu.com/news/local/No-smoking-at-the-Oregon-Zoo-as-of-May-26-151765535.html#IDComment361794912 Why thank you, Lips. You've made excellent points on this thread as well. :-) Thu, 17 May 2012 00:50:15 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/No-smoking-at-the-Oregon-Zoo-as-of-May-26-151765535.html#IDComment361794912 http://www.katu.com/news/local/No-smoking-at-the-Oregon-Zoo-as-of-May-26-151765535.html#IDComment361792316 Hello Eva BraunWire. "Unless it is a fully enclosed building, with no chance of any smoke escaping into the fresh air that non-smokers breathe in, than no designated smoking areas will not be endorsed." What? You need to be exposed to second hand literacy. Is this what you meant to type..... 'Unless it is a fully enclosed building, with no chance of any smoke escaping into the fresh air that non-smokers breathe, then no designated smoking areas will be endorsed.' ....? Unless you're on top of Mt Hood, there is no 'fresh' air.

How about when the ambulance is taking Mr. Clogged Arteries to the hospital at the same time you have a stress related heart attack, and the next ambulance is 45 minutes away? That's gonna be the excuse to ban any food or behavior of which the health zealots do not approve. Just keep ignoring that camel's nose.

Pretty simple and straightforward if you ask me." Just two? What about the choice I'm making? I choose to not smoke, and to not go to the zoo. That makes three choices. Guess it's not so straightforward after all. I'm standing in solidarity with the smokers. This 'It's for the public good' line of bull is what's going cost you your freedom. Unless you're in a confined area, the claim of second hand smoke causing health problems is a hoax, and used to deny people the freedom to make personal choices. I lived in Washington when the mandatory helmet law was passed, and then in California when their MHL was passed. Both times the excuse used was that un-helmeted riders drove up insurance rates, and took money out of the public coffers, yet in neither instance was there a reduction in either taxes or insurance rates after the law was passed.

And the fact is there aren't enough rivers for hydro to replace fossil fuels. My opinion; nuclear should be the present, and geothermal the future.

The technology isn't there. And what do you think powers the electric plants which charge the electric cars? Electric cars are really coal powered cars. The same way steam engines are wood, coal, or nuclear powered. Funny how 'nuclear' is the only one where the real fuel source is named. Ha!
