Its called social responsibility. We as people are quite stupid, the government on some things acts as our parent.

My view is that: dont ban smoking.

Smoking is good . All the big talks how smoking affects ppl badly around them are mostly exaggerated. It only affects you if you are deliberatly trying to inhale the smoke that comes out of the other persons mouth\nose . If you stand 2m+ away all you inhale are the scent particles aka the smell.

I dont smoke in my car, nobody smokes in my car, ill kill everyone who smokes in my car. I have leather interior and it will start to smell funny if someone smokes in my car thus none will smoke in my car if they want to live .

I consider myself lucky that i dont live in your pissant country, here i can smoke everywhere i want, except ofcourse studying institutions and goverment offices and other offices but restaraunts, clubs, pubs...smoke till ya drop

C'mon Pelz, even your avatar tries to cover his mouth and nose.

bah! If you don't like smoke, get off my planet!

Your planet? Ill fight ya for it!

hmm so we got a wannabe Roman legionary from a failed empire vs. a mad texan gunslinger...


no contest really

Excuse me? Wannabe? I am Italian and from Roman origin.

As for failed empire...It was the best empire we humans could ever conjure.

Europe fell back 500 years when the Roman Empire "failed".

your a wannabe cause you've been born 2000 years too late for your own liking

I never said it was a bad empire, just it's failed cause it doesn't exist anymore

Yes i think the world was better off 2000 years ago.

yeah, diseases, no electricity, no computers, no TV, no damn BIRTH CONTROL...

bah, what have the romans ever done for us?

oh dear, BJ, you may have started an old monty python sketch.

Hm, I can't think of one right now.

you remember the police doing a drill but in a really camp way? very funny.

'mm..that was slightly suspect'

I don't think I know that one. Know a couple of sketches with the army, like the "marching up and down the stair" one and the where the commander gets blackmailed and starts the "Alright, this is too silly" thing.

I was thinking more along the lines of:

REG: And what have they ever given us in return?!
BLOKE: The aqueduct?
REG: What?
BLOKE: The aqueduct.
REG: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.
BLOKE#2: And the sanitation.
LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?
REG: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.
MATTHIAS: And the roads.
REG: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--
BLOKE#3: Irrigation.
BLOKE#4: Medicine.
BLOKE#5: Education.
BLOKES: Ohh...
REG: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.
BLOKE#6: And the wine.
BLOKES: Oh, yes. Yeah...
FRANCIS: Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.
BLOKE#7: Public baths.
LORETTA: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.
FRANCIS: Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.
REG:All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
BLOKE#8: Brought peace.
REG: Oh. Peace? Shut up!
