What the fuck is wrong with New York City Mayor Michael Rubens Bloomberg? - Page 7

Clodfobble · 06-17-2012, 07:51 AM

That's what they said about the smoking ban here: it's not going to stop anyone smoking, it's just going to create little "smoking sections" on the corner of every downtown street away from the bar doors, this is the land of the free goddammit, it just means people are going to smoke more in their cars and homes around their children, etc. etc. etc.

But none of it happened. Instead what happened is the power of inconvenience took over, lazy asthmatic fucks didn't want to walk 20 feet outside the bar to smoke, and the local "quit smoking" program announced that its clientele increased five-fold. By now thousands of people in this city have quit entirely because it was made a little more inconvenient to smoke. And thousands (tens of thousands, in New York) will consume less sugar and calories once it becomes inconvenient to carry two sodas.

Dunno Clod, hope you are right, but this ban only has very limited coverage. The inconvenience factor is minimal at best.

I finally figured out why ~~Napolean~~ Bloomberg don't like them big ol' drink cups.

He can't see over the top of 'em.

The concept has spread to Cambridge, Mass.

Hey, you know what's way way more reprehensible than regulating fucking soda? Stop and frisk. NO BUT YOUR SODA RIGHTS ARE WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RIGHTS OF OPPRESSED MINORITIES!

Least trustworthy person is always the guy (or girl) with a mustache.

Least trustworthy person is always the person telling others who is least trustworthy.

Guess who has a mustache and now feels guilty. Snidley Whiplash? No. Snidley had a splash of goodness in him.
