Reply #89: You still want to dismiss actual physical harm and say prayer or racism [View All]

is the same thing. They are not. I may call you a racist name like nig*%# or WOP or Kike or whatever but you haven't really been injured. Maybe your feelings got hurt. If I fed your dog rat poison would you consider that the same thing as me calling it a cur? Granted people using convoluted logic can cause harm but the logic itself does not do anything until it is applied by someone. The person then becomes the object doing the harm not the idea. Poison on the other hand does the harm all by itself. There is no doubt. Tobacco is a poison and quite detrimental to one's health. You seem to want to say if we try and protect our children from injury or harm by establishing rules and regulations that we will want to keep you from dying your hair because it could drive someone to a crazy act. If I see you with blue hair I may want to pray at you. Not quite the same as placing one in a gas chamber which is what an enclosed automobile is when it's filled with tobacco smoke. Apples and Oranges.
