This statement alone says you have no idea what your talking about as far as addiction is concerned. Your not qualified to even speak on the topic. <snip>
Yet agaion, this show you know nothing on the issue of addiction OR the actual workings of the human body and what obesity is for some people. The addiction of eating food may be linked to this problem but is not the only issue with it.
Once you understand how the human body work, and I'll wait the 8 years to reagrue this topic of which you clearly state that "You know nothing" and ony talk out your backside from the all mighty toothless wonder.
Wow......no need to make it personal.....or was it just meant to be condescending?
I guess that, from your reply, you are a Doctor specializing in addiction and what makes it tick and so you ARE qualified?
If not, then you and I could very well be in the same boat as far as speaking from experience.
My point was that in this day and age when smoking is no longer glamorized and hyped in public as cool, and when you can readily see graphic pictures of lungs blackened and hardended by years of smoking, you STILL have 26 year olds who take up the habit.
As far as addiction goes, the treatment of addicitions has become much more of a science and going clean, whatever the addiction, is very attainable these days if the person really wants to.
Or, as I noted in my post earlier about my grandmother, do what many people do and just QUIT forever.
There both littering and finable. Don't complain about it Even more so if you never got a ticket for throwing paper on the street.
A - I dont litter and I abhore those who do.
B - I have seen people nailed for littering. I have never seen anyone nailed for tossing a butt.
C - I dont smoke and abhore those who do and throw their butts around like its nothing
It is illegal but it isn't enforced. There are right now about 15 people standing out front of my work on a public street littering with their butts and none will get busted.
I will complain about people doing illegal stuff.....better said, I will complain about people doing illegal stuff and not getting nailed for it.
And really the fact that tossing butts is illegal in most places isnt even the issue. Its just COURTESY. The smokers feel its OK to throw their refuse anywhere they want, along with polluting the air I breath just because they have a habit and need a fix.
To those smokers who consider their addiciton/habit more important than others' right to breath clean air I say :finga:
IMO, To phase out smokers, make the sale illgeal period! Then mark there drivers license with a symbol enabling them to purchase smokes. All new drivers under the leagal age are not getting the smokers symbol. Within 100 years, no more smokers.
Great idea...but....
You'll never see that. Too much big money STILL at stake.
Folow my plan and within a 100 years, it'll be a non issue. Deny them bennifits from the Gov. and your tax dollors can feed the war machine instead.
Great idea but cant do it...because then you would have to deny benefits to anyone doing anything unhealthy in any way shape or form. You can thank the lawyers and the ACLU for that.
Poor comparo. IF you think it is OK to have your kids watch P-Wee wax his knob in public, then by all means, the jails are full of pedifiles for your kids to be ooogled over.
I personaly will wack your prick off. Since you think it OK to do so, please come over, I know a women that'll hack your stuff off in a second flat.
How can you think wackin it in public is OK? You teach your kids this moral standard?
Now how is wacked?
You are seriously distrubed for even a mention of this and what bolis down to OK P-wee's behavior as OK and even more so wack as OK vs. smoking.
Not a poor comparison at all.
You don't want to see me whacking off in public. Fair enough.
I don't want to see you smoking, polluting the air I have to breath and throwing butts where I live. Oh, but now its a problem and a quetsion of smokers' RIGHTS. LOL
To me its very simple:
Your mental comfort versus my physical comfort.
That said:
First off, I never brought kids into the picture. YOU did. Peewee was at an adult theatre in the dark beating off. No kids should have been there to begin with. A quick search on the net would have given you that info before you jumped to conclusions.
Second of all, I didnt say whacking it in public is ok (and again, define "public".....peewee was in a dark theatre with other people watching sex films.....hardly the same "public" as the public city street you refer to.
Although frankly if I had to choose between seeing someone spanking the monkey on the street or having to sit next to someone, inhaling their flth from smoking, I would QUICKLY pick the whacker. I can close my eyes or ignore them....EVer try to stop breathing to avoid a smoker's filth? :mrgreen:
Depending on your beliefs and upbringing, sexuality may be something that horrifies you or it may be no big deal or maybe something in between.
I wont question your sexual morals and hangups if you don't question how I teach my kids, agreed?
The direct health affect from the filth that smokers spew is far more an immediate danger to my kids health than if they see a guy whacking off. I am not a perv, but I am also not a prude for kriste sake. At least human sexuality is based in biology, even when it skews into what could be called perversity. Smoking is completely un-natural and a direct attack against our bodies.
I compared the two because each, when done in public, both are equally nasty to me - again, your mileage may vary -- and both should be illegal because the people you subject to either your whacking or your smoking do not have a choice.....but yet only one is illegal and remains accepted.
GO figure.
