Why Holland is better than fucking britain...

Hallo allemal,

Ik was in de Nederlands voor het vorige week, ja!

Much more fun to go out than this shit dump of a country, but you all know that.

Hear here, get this, they also introduced a smoking ban in bars over there last year, and it's not working!

Everywhere now has smoking areas, behind glass walls. Not entirely legal, but guess what, it's now "tolerated". All the other bars that don't have room let you smoke, at least after 10 o clock in the evening, and they have a cough pot in case they get fined for it. Too many neighbours were complaining about the noise at night from people standing outside smoking. And the coffeeshops have separate smoking areas for joints, but you are allowed to smoke weed/hash in the main bits.

I think this is why Holland is so much better a country than this dump, when the government passes a law that the people don't like they just turn round and say fuck your law, send the police round to all our doors because we're all gonna break it anyway, fuck you!

We, on the other hand, just sit back and take it like a bunch of pussies.

Thomas Jefferson once said "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." I think he meant "obliged", but well he was an American, they don't have such a good grasp on the Queen's english as us British.

:cheers2:

 

I don't know much about Britain, but Holland is definitely a better place than most countries I've been to for a few reasons. Nice and liberal, the dutch, and quite tolerant.

I don't know if it's strictly appropriate to call the smoking ban an "unjust law" though.. honestly, for us non-smokers, nightlife was never better. I'm not sure if the smell of sweat beats the smell of smoke, but at least I don't feel like ass from passive smoking when I wake up in the morning, nor does everything I wore reek of cigarettes. Yuck.

 

holland, ohio is pretty lame.

so are smoking bans.

 

Holland, Ohio.
Toledo, Ohio.


Seriously.....Wow...How lame is Ohio....

 

on a 10 point scale, i'll give it an 8.2 for lameness.

i don't think there's a single uniquely-named city in the state.

(off the top of my head, parma and norwalk are also borrowed names)

 

I feel sorry for you.

 

thanks, receiving pity is my primary objective here.

 

Yeah I must say I did notice the difference from it, my clothes stank the next day and my lungs were shot to fuck. They can always put in better air conditioning though.

But as a non-smoker I have to say what really gets on my tits is the street smokers. There I am walking down the street, breathing in some nice fresh air and some asshole in front of me sparks up a cigarette blowing a huge chunk of match and tobacco smoke in my face.

Fuck that. Get inside.

 

I as a smoker am happy to oblige

 

i think it's city ordinances in US that pass smoking bans. of course i could be entirely wrong.

also, i haven't smoked in a week and a half. i'm still coughing.

 

Same.. ain't been able to smoke cause of a damn cold.. man I'm looking forward to some nice hash when I can actually toke

 

My lungs are shot to fuck from it all, but you know I think people are smoking more because of the law. They can't smoke until 10, or go outside, so when 10 o clock comes along they make up for it.

Stoopid fucking laws.

Doesn't help when you are sitting next to someone who is chain smoking ciggies and it's wafting in your face all the time. People should smoke only joints.

 

yeah, four days in and i'm coughing up all kindsa interesting things.

 

I live in Ohio and I like it, but I live in a better part than underwear

of course I like things dirty and fucked up, and I like weird people

so step off
