    Smoking

    http://www.stateline.org/live/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=136&languageId=1&contentId=20069 Well, I think Minnesota has a similar law: I wouldn't be surprised if most states eventually adopted similar laws. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Smoking

    I'm pretty sure it's Minnesota already has laws in place that prohibit anything distracting like eating, smoking, cell phones, etc. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Because when it's a heat index of 114, the less clothes the better for everyone!!!! When it's this hot, I don't care how little people wear (heck, if you have more fat on you, you feel even more hot!) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    You win! It's not supposed to be that hot here (well, not in actual temps.) Maybe I'll play in the sprinklers with my nephews tonight! That's almost as good as a pool! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    I don't deal with the heat thing well. Who is going to have a pool party that I can crash? I'll bring the inner tubes! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Ack! No one seems to be getting my point! I AM NOT WANTING TO OUTLAW THE CONFEDERATE FLAG! However, if you want to outlaw burning personal property because it offends you, then why not outlaw owning personal property beacause it's equally as offensive?

    Yeah, I know. Basically, I'm not saying that I think it should be outlawed or that it will. I'm saying that if someone wishes to outlaw symbols, then why would they want to keep the Confederate flag legal? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Since many people believe that their feelings for flags are justifiable means for laws, my question is when will they outlaw the Confederate flag? It is pretty much the Anti-American flag. It represents one of the worst times our country has ever had. It is highly offensive to many. You could even argue that flying a flag which represents a dis-union of our country is even more anti-American than burning a flag. (Disclaimer: I'm not for outlawing the Confederate flag even if it is offensive.) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Okay, Rhino. I took a few logic classes. So, let me help you out. There's a population called USA. People who burn flags are a subset of this; let's call their subset A. There is a larger subset of people who are okay with anyone burning flags; let's call this subset B. All A is included in B, but not all B is included in A. There is an even larger subset (probably the majority) who think that flag burning should be legal; let's call this subset C. All of B is in C, but not all of C is in B. You can think that flag burning should be legal (just like it's legal for members of the KKK to speak) without thinking it's acceptable. You can be offended but not wish things to be illegal. Burning a flag does not infringe on your rights. It does not cause bodily harm. It does not cause you financial harm. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    MOST people that never fought for it feel that way. That's what it technically is. It's just like a pendant of the cross that people wear. It is just metal. It is symbollic. However, throwing it down a toilet wouldn't harm anyone. Yes, many Christians would be offended if you flushed a cross down the toilet. However, it is still an object. You do not hurt anyone by destroying the object. Just because you are offended does not mean it should be outlawed. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    As others have said, no, it's not. Even a smoker still breathes the "second hand smoke" air. However, second hand smoke is bad for people. That's why my grandfather passed away 6 months ago. Many things are also bad for you, though. How about the parents who feed their kids Happy Meals every night? I feel bad for the kids that have to grow up in an environment like that. Yes, it is irresponsible for parents to do that. I'm not really sure if you can outlaw it, though. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Not many people die over a flag. They may die for what it represents. But, it is just a piece of symbolic fabric. But then you are stopping someone's freedom of speech. Just because the symbolism of the flag is important to you does not change the fact that burning it does not infringe on your right. It does not change the fact that it is fabric. There are many symbols which are important to all sorts of people. Should we outlaw everything that might be offensive? The burning cross is a good example. I can think of many people who would be much more offended by a burning cross over a burning flag. Should we ban burning a cross because of what it represents? Many people say many offensive things. By beginning to outlaw things that may be offensive, we start to lose a bit of our freedom of speech. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Hancock Observatory An architectural boat tour Field Museum Museum of Science and Industry Art Institute The Taste is going on, but I wouldn't recommend going there on a Sat or Sun unless you're comfortable with HUGE crowds....actually, take that as a forewarning. Downtown will be packed this weekend! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    None! However, if I'm going to do a shot, then I do what I was taught my freshman year of college by a super smart guy: pour some Coke in your mouth, pour the shot of McCormick's in your mouth, then pour some more Coke in your mouth, swallow!

    Are you comparing burning the flag to setting your neighbor on fire? Hahahahahaha!!!! I'm sorry, that was too damn funny! Rhino, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it should be illegal. Burning a flag does not infringe on anyone else's rights. And Phreezone, loved your "Does the Supreme Court not understand US laws?" comment! I don't like sauerkraut!!!!!!!!! Its smell is very offensive to me! Let's outlaw it!

    I think that's why my old college roommate and I didn't share food. It was just much simpler to be responsible for our own food then to try to figure out who ate how much. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Awwww....cute! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Some people agree with that. Some people express that thought by burning a flag. What would be the reason for making it illegal? Flag burning does not infringe on your rights. You do not have to participate. You can look away. We shouldn't pass laws on people's feelings. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
