Sugary Drinks Banned in San Francisco

[Obama 2012 1,714]

Paul, there is no correlation, despite your insistance. Smoking in public buildings, airplanes, train compartments and other venues poses a direct hazzard to non-smokers. There is no health risk in banning junk food in vending machines. Your hysteria is amusing though.

When smoking bans started it had nothing to do with overall health to others....

As I've said before to people like you, Hitler didn't have to force the jews to do anything. Most of them went willingly because they did not believe in the atrocities their government was about to commit.

Is there a health benefit?

By the way, how come they didn't ban fruit juice, which is even more toxic, than Coca-Cola®?

As per usual paul, you run out of rational arguments and go straight to the absurd. At least this is entertaining.

Is there any truth to the accusation that Jews went like sheep to the slaughter?

In the fall and winter of 1941-42 the Germans killed millions of Soviet Prisoners of War, military men who offered no resistance. Jews were no less prone than other segments of the population that Germany controlled to offer resistance and indeed the forces in Warsaw put up a fierce struggle and held out for weeks against overwhelming odds. The Germans decided to set fire to the ghetto building by building rather than risking door-to-door combat. The phrase "do not go like sheep to the slaughter" was first years by resistance leader Abba Kovner who sought to shake the Jews out of their complacency in Vilna (contemporary Vilnius, Lithuania) in 1942. It was a poetic, polemical call to arms, not an actual description of Jewish behavior.

You are just being hysterical now. Get back to me when you've got a rational argument, or even close.

The government is banning what you can and can't select to put into your own body. They're choosing what you can make the choice to drink.

Is that freedom?

First of all, did you even read the OP? They aren't banning anything, they are just refusing to stock their vending machines with junk food. You are still free to go to any other store to get your ding dongs and pepsi. You still have a choice to be an unhealthy slob.

For now.

But this is how it starts.

You really are a paranoid delusional. I only wish you lived in my area so that I could suggest a 5150 hold on you.

Wow. I just googled that and am so impressed you guys allow that to happen in California.

It's not just california. I'm fairly certain that all states have some form of it.

Who here has bought anything from a vending machine inside a city building within the last 6 months?

are you serious?

It's the paranoid delusional libertarians that give the political ideology a bad name. There are good ideas, but then people like yourself, with visions of paranoia destroy any credibility they have. Take your Haldol and get back to reality paul.

Me. I bought a cliff bar this morning.
