Hasn't
this turnded into an anti-capitalism thread!
People won't open clean bars/pubs because they're scared of losing the custom. That's what the free market's doing for us there.
Actually, it's not.
When did YOU decide to try opening a smoke free bar?
And you still aren't considering the person who had no choice but to take a job at a bar.
That's not CAPITALISM that supports that. Tell you what it is though ... no, you can guess ... it
also starts with 'C'
Also, if you're going to kill people for the sake of the economy, hell, let's round up certain demographics and have a holocaust! Much more efficient.
Very typical of an anti-capitalism rant. Try to compare it to the {bleep} that happenned in NAZI Germany!
How does killing people make an ecconomy a better version of Capitalism? Which proponents of capitalism have ever supported such nonsense? :pissed:
This is an irrational behaviour but the "free market" we know today would collapse if humans behaved rationally.
So what's YOUR definition of 'rational behaviour' ?
Every technology, and all human progress in the modern world was built on rational behaviour, and the places that were the most rational (with the best form of capitalism) became the most successful.
At the moment, non-smokers are forced to go to bars and breathe smoke.
Have I missed something here?
In which country is that?I'm a non smoker, and I've never been forced into a bar! Bizare!
If a ban is passed, smokers will be forced to go into bars and breathe clean air.
So, according what you're basically saying, a ban on smoking could potentially stimulate the ecconomy !! :lol: (Still, I think it's a bit immoral though, and is definently not Capitalism)
I'm sure I don't need to explain to you why that benefits us all.
Clear as mud.
And unless you're working for image-Nazis like McDonald's,
So 'McDonalds' are the 'image-Nazis' now.
"Boo for capitalism. Filthy capitalist pigs!!"
"PIIIIIGS! ANARCHY RULES!!!"
I don't see that you should have some automatic right to a say in how someone runs their own pub.
Exactly. Only under Communism does the government dictate what people may do with assets (or any other property for that matter). If somebody else is running the pub by force, is it really yours?
The fact is that non-smokers have a choice, nobody is poking a gun to their backs and forcing them to go into a smokey room.
When there is demand for a smoke free pub, such a thing will open. But currently, there is a place that accomodates those people who smoke & drink while they socialise. And that can only be a good thing.
