Like I said what you do in your own homes is not my concern.
But if you put a nightclub in the middle of the town it concerns everyone who lives in the neighbourhood.
No, it only concerns those who patronize the nightclub. If you don't like a place for any reason, be it smoke, bad service, or the lights are too bright, you aren't forced to go.

When did the topic of being "against the rich" have go do with smoking? Shouldn't smoking regulation go to the "decline of America" thread? Or, maybe "delusional American?"

So I take partial responsibility for trying to educate the youth of the Netherlands as to what freedom is, and why our country was founded.
Envy comes from insecurity. If people are security they aren't as envious. So many people in the US are angry at "fat cats" because they see their own lot in life declining.
