Personally I sell tobacco products to children all the time, because I believe in AMERICA! and in AMERICA they have this little thing called FREEDOM! Perhaps you've heard of it Slim?
This country was built on the principles of a free market, if we're allowed to sell guns to children we can certainly sell them cigarettes. Do you not believe in Capitalism slim? Are you a Communist? Also there's never been any actually scientific PROOF that cigarettes correlate with lung cancer, you hear of people who never smoked getting cancer all the time, likewise there are people who do smoke who don't get cancer. I'm surprised at you Slim, buying into the pseudo skeptic dogma. You seem to forget that smoking tobacco is a traditional ritual amongst Native Americans, and it's well known that all the 'demand' to end the sale of tobacco is actually racist persecution against the Native American population. A population that our government has already nearly destroyed. Why are you being racist against Native American Slim? Why do you hate freedom? You are literally, LITERALLY, demanding that someone remove their writing simply because it offends you, that could not be more in defiance of the principles of freedom of speech. Also it could not be more off topic, stop derailing the thread Slim. |

You don't think it's right to display pipes or cigars on a forum with children on it. Fortunately (for so many reasons), you don't run this forum. If Steve Brooks (who *does* run the forum) asks me to remove that photo, I will happily comply. BTW, there have been numerous threads throughout the Café over the years on cigarette magic and manipulation. I can only assume that you have protested loudly on those threads about how children should not be exposed to such evils. You've lost friends to cancer and the pipe in my avatar offends you. Frankly, your reaction to my display of a *legal* product is not my concern. Heck, I'm not even smoking it - I'm just *holding* it. Displaying that pipe in my avatar is "...possibly illegal." I have an excellent attorney, Slim. I'll run it by him the next time we get together for a smoke and see what he says. Now, I have addressed each of your statements. Too bad you didn't address mine. You said that I sell tobacco products to minors. That is a serious accusation and I'm waiting for proof. I realize that you don't like to provide proof for any other ludicrous claims of yours, but there is a big difference in regurgitating media links about supposed paranormal activity and accusing someone of committing a crime. You also claimed that I *advertise* tobacco products here on the Café. Again, I ask for your proof. Show me a screenshot of a banner ad. I have never once purchased ad space on the Café, or anywhere else, for tobacco products. You have made two allegations (one a serious crime) - that I sell tobacco products to minors and that I advertise tobacco products on the Café. Since you cannot provide proof, I demand an apology and retraction. - Bob |

My bad !!!! I did say "selling" and that was wrong in the sense that you took it ... I didn't mean LITERALLY SELLING ... I meant selling in the manner that you think it's cool to smoke and you are giving off that image holding the tobacco pipe. ( what are you selling here?) type of thing....if you took it wrongly I am truly sorry .. again MY BAD!!!!
When I have time I'll check the Florida laws concerning displaying tobacco to minors... Should be interesting. I know it's illegal in many states. To me it's simply unethical in the least. Smoking is BAD!!!!! It Kills people..... and it hooks kids too..... My offer still holds.

You don't apologize for your words or actions, you apologize because I took something you said the wrong way. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I think it's "cool to smoke". I enjoy smoking a pipe, which happens to be legal in this country (at least for now). Whether it's perceived as cool or not, I'm enjoying a legal pursuit. I noticed you didn't mention whether you harass other people on the Café when they write about cigarette magic. I'll interpret that as you singling me out. I anxiously await your legal findings as to whether my "displaying tobacco to minors" is against Florida law. Not sure why you're checking Florida law, but I'll save you a step. Check California law instead, since that's where the Café is registered, at least according to Whois. BTW, I noticed in the Psychic Leads Police To Missing Boy thread, you used a smiley face/beer emoticon in your post from today at 8:41 PM. You know that children frequent these forums and you're now promoting (notice I didn't say "selling") underage drinking. So here's my deal Slim/Jim, I'll leave my pipe avatar up and I won't pursue any action against you for promoting alcohol to minors. Instead, you go back to promoting your unsubstantiated PARANORMAL twaddle and I'll go back to joining the rest of us here as the voice of reason, trying mightily to prevent you from dominating the Penny with absolute rubbish. - Bob |

Slim never complained about my pipe. But, then again, that's not tobacco I've got in it.
(Although I am smoking a cigarette as I type this.) |

Just as lights appear in the sky prior to a great event the same may happen to you.
And to be clear .. None of you magicians have duplicated this effect. Seems like you've failed to debunk it.

Assuming "the skeptics" means the JREF, I recall them being more than willing to test you if you resubmitted a proper application. I recall this be stated several times. At this point in your signature you are flat out lying. That is, to me, far more unethical and offensive that someone posing with a pipe in hand. How's the application process going? |

"I don't think it's right to display Pipes or Cigars on a forum with children on it..... I've lost friends to Cancer and it offends me. "
I know of no one who would use the death of friends as a reason to prop up a frivolous whine like this....he's worried about anyone on this forum who might be underage seeing an image of a pipe? BS.
