Irrelevant. Nobody really wants to be around smokers and their nasty smoke. Seriously, this is how deranged the GOP has become, they look at the big corporations selling lethal products to people as a "liberty" issue.
It is a liberty issue. If you want to smoke, then smoke. If you don't, then don't. If you're outside at a park, you're not even going to smell another person smoking, not to mention parks have plenty of space where you don't have to be anywhere near a smoker.
It has nothing to do with it. Liberals are miserable people and only get joy from making other people miserable.
We also didn't have corporate America throwing saturated fats and fructose laden products at us like they do kids now.
They always have. The difference is when we were kids, we only had three channels to watch on television, and the shows were all reruns. When you wanted to see a movie, everybody piled in the car to go to a drive-in. When you wanted to see a friend, you peddled you bike a mile or more to their house instead of face chatting on Facebook. Why do you suppose you need to speak Spanish if you're a professional baseball player? Those people grew up the way we did, and American kids play baseball on Playstation.
In spring and summer, my older tenants come out and enjoy the weather. My younger tenants stay in the house like it's the middle of winter. They grew up where their entire life is those four walls. They seldom open up any windows. It goes from heat to air conditioning. The only time you see them outside is when they are going to their car or back. But the problem is McDonald's.
Yes, kids got hurt all the time. Some of them suffered serious brain injuries, which is why they make kids wear helmets. (Of course, I see lots of kids without helmets, so there's that.)
Government didn't always raise children in this country, it was other people who did. I forget who that was now, I think we called them...........PARENTS! Yes, that's what we called them.
Wow, another right wing myth.
Holmes never said he picked out that theater because it was "gun free". He picked it because the Batman movie was playing there. There are hundreds of hours of him talking to shrinks, and never, not once does he blurt out, "I passed up the Mutliplex because they allow guns".
You don't know what he and the shrink discussed. Batman would have eventually came around to the theater near his home. He didn't have to say that's why he chose that theater, it's just a common theme among mass shooters that they commit their crimes in gun-free zones.
Um, yeah, after Trump wrecked the economy, and incited race hatred.
Trump never said anything about race. It was commie Mayors and Governors who kept it going to make the country look as bad as possible for the election. You know,
the season of love. It's the same reason that all of a sudden after the election, they want to open up schools, restaurant and bars in commie areas. The virus is much worse now than when they closed them down. But they wanted to ruin the economy as much as possible for the election regardless how many lives they destroyed, how many kids committed suicide, how many businesses were forced to close for good. This is how power hungry Nazis think.
Which part is untrue. the "He got busted in the 1970's is well known.. People don't talk about it. The whole reason to go to the DR is because of sex tourism.

Your city was destroyed because the big corporations abandoned your city... that's why it sucks there. That the people who were left were dirt poor is hardly their own fault. The problem is, you are confused poor.
The problem is you don't know what you are talking about. There are plenty of great, safe, clean places to live in Cuyahoga county, but they are all or predominately white. Do you think Geraldo would be living here if what you say is true? God knows how many millions he's worth, but he moved here to be near his in-laws, which he could easily afford to move them out as well if he wanted.
Our city was divided by east and west. The blacks lived on the east side and on the west, it was mostly hillbillies and Puerto Ricans. Low income, yes, but seldom any violence or murders. The blacks started to migrate to the west side of the city, and now people are getting killed there nearly every week. When it was mostly white and Hispanic, little problems there. During the great economy Trump created for us, you could find help wanted signs littering every industrial area here. I had customers asking me if I knew anybody that needed a job because they couldn't find workers. So this theory of yours that industry moved out is pure bullshit.
