Beverly Hills votes to ban tobacco sales, but exempts Schwarzenegger’s favorite cigar club

bans for thee, but not for me.

One thing worse than living in a police state is finding out that no one cares.

The Terminator ain't gonna let no GIRLY MAN touch his fucking cigars.

welcome to liberal world.......


this is why students are no longer reading books like Animal Farm.

that book ...if actually on the shelves...is not required reading anymore...


even 1984 has falling off required reading lists..........


i guess it show our youth just how messed up the Left truly are.

then Cali goes full TARD and lives out a famous quote from the first book....


"all animals are equal, some animals are just MORE equal then others."

Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmm

No smoking dragons welcome in the only place in LA with a hot spring. Tsk tsk they’re begging for a tar volcano.

The part in this video that looks like a cave is the hot spring there.

When they banned smoking in bars in NC, country clubs and cigar bars were exempt. Because the ones who made the law smoke cigars there. So, you can't smoke in a bar you like to hang out at, but they can smoke at the bar they like to hang out at.

ARNIE AINT NO SOCIALIST


NOW LET HIM LET THE GOVERNMENT GIVE HIM A MONOPOLY

When the big one comes the BH will disappear in a puff of smoke.

Beverly Hills does allow marijuana so its interesting they ban smoking but weed is OK.

There was a time when Americans believed in freedom.

The US is dying from a million cuts. Part of the reason the USA is a nanny police state now is that whenever there is a problem, the kneejerk reaction in the US is to call for a new law.

Nanny state laws are not the best solution, however. Nanny state laws lead to more laws, higher fines, and tougher sentences. Thirty-five years ago, DWI laws were enacted that led to DWI checkpoints and lower DWI levels. Seatbelt laws led to backseat seatbelt laws, childseat laws, and pet seatbelt laws. Car liability insurance laws led to health insurance laws and gun liability laws. Smoking laws that banned smoking in buildings led to laws against smoking in parks and then bans against smoking in entire cities. Sex offender registration laws led to sex offender restriction laws and violent offender registration laws.

Nanny state laws don't make us safer, either. Nanny state laws lead people to be careless since they don't need to have personal responsibility anymore. People don't need to be careful crossing the street now because drunk-driving has been outlawed and driving while using a mobile phone is illegal. People don't investigate companies or carry out due diligence because businesses must have business licenses now.

The main point of nanny state laws is not safety. The main purposes of more laws are control and revenue generation for the state.

Another reason laws are enacted is because corporations give donations to lawmakers to stifle competition or increase sales.

Many laws are contradictory, too. Some laws say watering lawns is required, while other laws say watering lawns is illegal.

Many nanny state laws that aim to solve a problem can be fixed by using existing laws. If assault is already illegal, why do we need a new law that outlaws hitting umpires?

Do laws even work? Heroin is illegal, but do people still use heroin?

Nanny state laws are not even necessary. If everything was legal would you steal, murder, and use crack cocaine? Aren't there other ways to solve problems besides calling the police? Couldn't people educate or talk to people who bother them? Can't people boycott businesses they hate? Couldn't people be sued for annoying behavior? Couldn't people just move away? Even if assault was legal, wouldn't attackers risk being killed or injured, too? Do people have consciences? Having no laws doesn't mean actions have no consequences.

If there is no victim, there is no crime.

We don't need thousands of laws when we only need 10.

Should swimming pools be banned because they are dangerous? Hammers? Bottles? Rocks? Energy drinks? Pillows?

Where does it end?

If one state can have self-serve gas stations, why can't every state have them? If sodas were legal 20 years ago, why can't they be legal now?

Freedom is not just a one way street. You can only have freedom for yourself if you allow others to have it.

Control freaks might get angry when a neighbor owns three indoor cats, but what did the neighbor take from them? Why should this be illegal? Is outlawing cats something a free country should do? Doesn't banning everything sound like the opposite of liberty?

Instead of getting mad at people who like freedom, why don't people realize that freedom is a two way street?

If you allow others to paint their house purple then you can, too.

If you allow others to own a gun then you can, too.

If you allow others to swear then you can, too.

If you allow others to gamble then you can, too.

Good men don't need laws. Bad men won't obey laws.

Who wants to live in a prison?

Think. Question everything.

I was sitting in Overstreet's in Bev Hills the night Princess Diana was killed. Not sure if it's still open anymore, but you could smoke cigars in their lounge.

When N.C. banned smoking I knew the end was near.

We’re getting close to the end now. Can you feel it? I do. It’s in the news, on the streets, and in your face every day. You can’t tune it out anymore, even if you wanted to.

Where once there was civil debate in the court of public opinion, we now have censorship, monopoly, screaming, insults, demonization, and, finally, the use of force to silence the opposition. There is no turning back now. The political extremes are going to war, and you will be dragged into it even if you consider yourself apolitical.

There are great pivot points in history, and we’ve arrived at one. The United States, ruptured by a thousand grievance groups, torn by shadowy agencies drunk on a gross excess of power, robbed blind by oligarchs and their treasonous henchmen and decimated by frivolous wars of choice, has finally come to a point where the end begins in earnest. The center isn’t holding. Finding a center is no longer even conceivable. We are the schizophrenic nation, bound by no societal norms, constrained by no religion, with no shared sense of history, myth, language, art, philosophy, music, or culture, rushing toward an uncertain future fueled by nothing more than easy money, hubris, and sheer momentum.

Same in Amsterdam.You can smoke pure weed inside,but tobacco has to be smoked outside.Even if you put tobacco in your Joint ,you have to go outside.

Life may be all fun and games now in the USA, but as offshoring increases, illegal immigration rises, hard-working Americans die off or dropout due to higher taxes and more regulations, the national debt climbs, there is more terrorism as the result of illegal American wars, the police become more brutal enforcing draconian decrees, the US Ponzi economy and stock markets collapse, cash is banned, Americans are implanted with microchips, and real crises and false flags are used to force Americans to go to the gulags and finally to the gas chambers and ovens, will Americans wish that they had spoken out earlier against the dangers of wars, debt, and tyranny?

I read Animal Farm as an eleven year old in the early seventies. It made a vegetarian of me I was assigned it in the late seventies. I got a C + because I argued the revolution had been a success. The great success was that farmers were negotiating with pigs. The big barrier was the human- quadruped barrier had been broken. Temporarily the other animals had to work harder with greater discipline to keep up with the human owned farms. It would be worth it in the long run, which of course we have not yet seen.

Conservative social studies teacher was sort of a snowflake, thinking if a revolution didn’t make everyone equal in twenty years it wasn’t worth fighting.

Yes I knew Orwell was a snowflake too. Onwas supposed tonright about how the revolution had failed— because it hadn’t been easy. Snowflakes think it’s got to be easy.

Monica smiles.

The USA is now bankrupt warmongering police state. The elites control the government, media, and the corporations.

Americans either are ignoring the decay of the US or think that nothing can be done to stop the collapse.

We sit at our keyboards and scream at our computers, but feel powerless to do anything about the decline. The struggle is immense and too much damage has been done to save the US.

Even if we spent a year to fight to repeal mandatory helmet laws, new nanny state laws banning vaping, smoking, and hoverboards would be enacted.

What can you do?

We could protest and be arrested or killed.

We could use our guns and be killed.

We have the NSA wiretapping our phones, listening to our words, reading our emails, and recording our web history. The NSA has our pictures, knows our address, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, purchases, current location, plans, doctors, lawyers, and what we had for dinner yesterday.

There really is no hope.

The best we can do is to just prepare, dropout, don't comply, don't participate, don't vote, don't buy licenses, don't pay taxes, don't call the police, don't deal with the government, stop supporting this rigged system, and spread the word.

Just normal corrupt business for Corruptifornia.

Do Americans think living in a police state is acceptable if the rest of the world suffers under tyranny, too?
