I'm well over anti-smoking threads
and the sad fuckers that start them. Why, exactly do you believe your will should be imposed on others in the world?

Oh right. It would make the world a better place, no one would ever die of disease and all folk could prance about breathing freely of the pure, fresh air that envelopes humanity.

1. I rarely click them, since it's always the usual supects chiming in with their "helpful" advice
usually delivered with all the venom, condescension, disgust and ill-will they can muster..

No minds will ever be changed, nothing positive results..

5. sometimes respond
to the very small masochistic streak and wonder what the 'good' people are doing and saying. Then I need a drink and a smoke to get the stench of self-righteousness outta my hair.

2. I'm doing my part to help with overpopulation
By smoking at least a half pack a day in a crowded area. Its the least I can do.

9. yeah, I've stopped responding to them, for the most part
they're counter-productive and no one's mind ever gets changed, it just turns into a flame war.


It's sad that people always feel this need to tell others how they should live their lives.

10. They all degenerate into the same arguments, on both sides.
I either ignore them or hit the "Click here to hide this thread x."

11. Reminds Me Of The Saying...
Sure, I can quit smoking...but can you quit being an asshole???

Now picking on smokers are just fine here. Just don't pick on their weight or if they like to go to Olive Garden. :rofl:

Cheers my friend...

:smoke:

12. I recently resumed smoking...
it probably had to do with the fact that I found myself in Afghanistan. But, hey...I'm not getting laid and I'm not drinking alcohol, so I need at least one vice.
