    All for it and I'm a smoker.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    Would it be a good idea to get a smoker, non-smoker and ex-smoker on each team? (Might be hard to get an ex-smoker to be for it though!).


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭pbirney


    In favour of the ban.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,891 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    In favour of it.

    Do NOT, repeat do NOT start debating the topic, this is only for garnering who is interested in the debate and on which side.

    I wasn't debating the topic, so much as troll baiting. And surely that's what boards in general is about ?

    You remember that bit where Dev said not to debate it in this thread? You do? Strange...

    Anyway, I'm a smoker and while I don't really mind either way, I love a good argument so I'll put my name down against the proposition.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz

    Not willing to debate.


    Willing to fill an audience spot with rotten fruit though.

    Thread sanitised. No apologies to anyone who feels hard done by that their essays were deleted without trace. Tough sh*t.

    John, Boards is NOT about trolling or baiting. Its not big and its not clever and people will think you are 13. ....

    Still need a couple more of "againsts" who are willing to argue (Dustaz you f*ckin' GURL!)

    As Stated before Against and I am WILLING to ARGUE:horned:


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Excellent. I think we are almost there....

    I'll appoint Captains soon and they will pick lieutenants and we'll commence things!

    I still have to find a decent independant third judge but I'll do that during the week probably!

    Will the smoking team be allowed take periodic breaks during the debate to hang around outside, looking furtive & cold, struggling to light their cancer sticks in the Force 8 gales?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Yeah, we'll give them 5 Min breaks every hour.... but they MUST smoke while typing their replies :)
