Whoopi Has Feelings Too Damn it!

Whoopi Goldberg recently went off during a discussion while on The View. Whoopi is a smoker, and became very upset when she spoke about how smokers must scurry outside and feel scooted from non-smokers when wanting to smoke. Whoopi suggested that there is basically no where she can go to smoke even while at work! The following is Transcribed from The View, aired 6/9/10...

"[to Joy] Nobody is coming near you [with cigarettes]… Don’t bitch about the problem if you don’t have an idea to solve it.

All these people said no you can’t smoke outside, can’t smoke inside, can’t smoke upstairs, can’t smoke anywhere. I think it’s bullsh*t."

"I have been asking for a [designated place]… At the View, there is a designated place outside where we’re supposed to go and smoke. Now, because they don’t think that smokers are people, or have any feelings, or have any rights at all. It’s next to [a] dumpster. So you’re degrading people. So why not just say ‘you guys are scum and the scum of the earth’?"

"That’s how you make folks feel as opposed to saying ‘You know what, we know this is a tough thing to kick. So until you’re able to kick it, we want you to go over here and smoke.’ In a place where you don’t have to stand outside shivering or getting rained on because people think that you’re a bonehead because you smoke."

This is just another case of folks having to agree to disagree. I comprehend fully that smokers need their fix and must not be treated like outsiders and although some of the anti-smoking laws in the US are hella extreme.... But on a different note, smoke rises and it collects when people smoke inside and yeah well it's not always cool for others hair and wardrobe HAVING to smell like smoke due to another's habit.

How do you feel kiddas???
