Re: Amsterdam launches campaign against misbehaving tourists
This thread reminds me of the good old days on Channels. It's human nature to bicker.

Re: Greetings from the Pacific Northwest
I just dropped in to say hi and I let Lemming know Channels had gone tits up. I haven't used this account in 10 years. I'll check in more often.

Re: Channels.nl
When I started researching Amsterdam for my first trip in 2004, I googled Amsterdam coffeeshops and Channels popped up first thing. Thinking it would be mostly youngsters, I joined as Old Fart and maybe the kids would have room for an old guy hitting up AMS for the first time. As it turned out, the ...

Re: smoking ban is back (or trying to be brought back!)
It's not about choice. It's about everyone else's lack of choice. Saying "if you don't like it don't come in" is a stupid argument because smokers are everywhere. Yes it should be banned from public areas unless the purpose of that area is for smoking. I would be in favour of smoking club...

So what I'm seeing here is if society has decided something is harmful to people they have no business regulating it's use? Everything goes? The truth is I’m just playing devils advocate here, I’m very much for personal freedoms. I just find it amazing how far people will go to support their own hab...

Re: smoking ban is back (or trying to be brought back!)
http://www.lung.org/stop-smoking/about-smoking/health-effects/marijuana-smoke.html We can do this all day, but you won't find a study that says tobacco smoke is safe. Exactly. As long as there is any evidence that cannabis smoke is harmful, what do you think the government (in the long-term) is goi...

Re: smoking ban is back (or trying to be brought back!)
Fine but you don't get to pick the poison for the people sitting next to you do you? This is no different than required removal of asbestosis from a building. It's done for the good of society as a whole

Re: smoking ban is back (or trying to be brought back!)
This is a health issue Marco. If it's about rights and freedom then I side with the rights of people not to be subject to tobacco smoke. Tobacco kills.
