I have new respect for smokers

Actually eating fast food can be dangerous to others as well. What if a fatass sits on your hand? Or makes it impossible to see in a theatre?

I know I\'m getting the better end of this deal. It\'s just funny that you spend 1,300$ on something that is killing you. - Bozco

Yeah, I\'m killing myself, and the funny thing is.. you\'re more upset about it than I am. Awww.. Boz.. I didn\'t know you cared so much. *Big ole wet sloppy kiss* It\'s my decision, and I don\'t need you making it for me. Why are you so focused on my adding pollutants to the air, when you have probably (1 in a million chance or more.. litterally) have never done a single thing to stop people from driving without mufflers, protested a new chemical factory from opening up shop in town, or even took a serious look at the EPA standards and weither or not your area meets them. Why am I singled out? Simple.. Easy.. Target. You\'re just on a witchhunt.

Fu*k man.. I bet you don\'t even recycle. How can you judge me for doing harm to the enviroment and hurting other people when you do the same thing in a not-so-direct manner??

BTW: When was the last time you checked USDA standards? I work in a poultry plant.. and lemmie tell ya.. there\'s some NASTY NASTY shyt that could kill you much faster than cigarettes that is about a hair away from going into the food you eat. It\'s USDA approved tho. Did you know that the next time you eat anything with duck product in it, there\'s a one in 5 chance it came out of my plant... cooked in an oven that\'s bottom consistes of a concrete slab sitting on bare earth. When a rack gets pushed in.. 5 years worth of caustic acid, duck grease, bits of floor patch, industrial cleaners, and a whole host of other nasty shyt wells up around the edges and cooks in there with the duck.

Now, that\'s just my plant. We\'re what Frankie considers a "USDA officer\'s dream"...  can you imagine what goes into all the other food you eat every day? Man.. you just have no idea...

Cigarettes are dangerous yes.. but there\'s a WHOLE host of other shyt out there thats just as - if not more - dangerous than Ciggys. Unless you\'re willing to pick up the banner for a healthier tomorrow and fight the cause to your fullest.. then please get off my back about how I\'m "Killing myself".

Well of course there is other **** out in the world but I can\'t just go and ***** at them.  Yes, your an easier target.  Oh, and smoking has no plus side to it.  It doesn\'t produce something like a factory does.  Not saying that any factory is allowed to produce all that pollution.  And I don\'t mind if you kill yourself.

Well... in a round-about way.. smoking does produce something. The money garnered on cigarettes goes to giant corperations who then filter that money down into it\'s subsidiaries for R & D on new projects and testing products. Much of that money also goes out to charities and research funds. It\'s called a tax write off.. MS does the same thing.. and it benefits both parties. That\'s why there\'s a tax write off.. to encourage big buisnesses to give away their money to non-profit organizations and to help fund research programs. The taxes the state garnishes off of cigarettes (which is quite a bundle) also go to help build safer roads, more productive schools, put more cops on the streets, and build more efficent hospitals.

So personally, I\'m not helping myself by smoking.. but in an offbeat way every cigarette I smoke helps pay to make someone else\'s life a little better. Not to mention that Tobacco is a billion dollar buisness.. and that money going back into the economy is far greater than what is spent on medical bills for the uninsured.

And you\'ve also basically conceded that the only reason that you\'re complaining is because you have an easy target to complain to. Thanks.. that clears alot of stuff up. You could go after any number of thousands of sources for toxic chemicals in our atmosphere and condem them.. but no.. you complain about me because it requires little to no effort on your end. Congrats man, you\'re really a savior you know that. :rolleyes:

And if you don\'t care weither I\'m killing myself or not, then why do you keep brining up the point that I am? You obviously care to some digree.. even if it\'s just to make a point in your favor. However, that point is only won if I cared and was concerned about my health. I don\'t care. So who comes out ahead in this argument? Not you....

He smokes I don\'t, I live longer life and can actually run.  I\'d like to see Sonyfan run a 5k.

Hell, I don\'t smoke and I prolly couldn\'t do that (even though I don\'t know how long that is - I\'m not the running type ).

5k= roughly 3.1 miles  A true test on how well in shape you really are.

i can see it now

bozco gets run over by bus while running his 5k
sonyfan walks by smoking a camel,  shakes his head at bozco, and walks to 7-11 for another pack of camels

ask jim fixx how good running is for you
sorry about that heart attack from running jim, here have a smoke



oh the irony of it all

Oh, you could just have said km.

I would collapse after 3 km.

There, you see - running = teh evil!!

Sh*t dood, but you gotta ask the question... why would I want to run the 5k?????? I hate sports, and I hate running. We would go to the quarter-mile track in Middle school (back before I was smoking) and I don\'t think I ever ran that SOB even one. The mile in HS? Forget it.. I don\'t need cigarettes to cause me to be out of shape.. just plenty of Mountain Dew, Recies Peanut Butter Cups, and lots of good videogames to play.

Oh.. it\'s not like I could run the 5k anyhow even if I didn\'t smoke and was in fairly decent shape. Did I mention the fact I\'m Athesmatic?

BTW mm: Camels? Ugh.. those things will kill ya. I smoke Basic Menthol 100\'s. Not as good as Newports or Marlboro Menthol.. but they\'re cheap and I\'m flexable.

I didn\'t say you would ever want to run a 5k but being able to would sure show how long you might live considering it shows the shape you are in.  If you couldn\'t control something like being born with athesma why would you want bring more problems to your life on purpose.
