As the board approaches the inevitable end based mostly on a single poster ruining the experience for everyone, I thought it would be a cool thing to play some of the classics that bigfan likely deleted because, well, the board ran out of thread space?

Anyways, remember the huge uproar about banning smoking in restaurants and bars. Bars and restaurants would cease to exist. Everyone would drive to Indiana to drink. Personal liberty would cease to exist. The Founding Fathers would have literally put us on their knee and spanked every single American citizen.

Instead, pretty much everyone agrees it was the right thing to do and no one even pushes for things to be different even if they smoke.

So, thanks government. You did something right!

Government needs to do more of this. Individuals rarely make the best decisions for themselves when left to their own devices.

It was a good move because going to the bowling alley used to always make your clothes smell like smoke. Unfortunately, there are smokers who violate the distance from the door where they are supposed to be smoking. The worst though I would say is idiots who smoke at the gas station.

When I was still a smoker, I missed smoking in the bowling alley.

I quit smoking shortly after that took effect. I didn't quit because of that, but there is no doubt the ban made it easier.

I thought it would be a bigger inconvenience than it actually has been.

The bag tax, annoying, but overall it's a good idea. Plastic bags are wasteful as hell and my initial resentment of the tax was out of laziness.

Soda tax is a good idea too. But it becomes a slippery slope. What about any restaurant (fast food or sit-down)? Candy bars? Potato chips? Better to educate people to drink less of the stuff.

I thought Daley wanted all those corner, side street taverns to go away. Makes it easier to catch drunk drivers when you make them drive out to Cooper's Hawk?
