i have no problem with them,anti smokers are far worse and way more annoying and i dont smoke
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I don't mind them, and I like my smoker friends and relatives, they can light up around me if they want, I usually hang around them when they smoke and it makes a good atmosphere.
As do I. My mum AND dad used to smoke, but my father had the sense to quit when I was born, my mother on the other hand... let's just say I have been exposed to a lot of second hand smoke.I attribute me getting sick alot to it.

That's like my neighbor..her husband smoked indoors a lot and she eventually ended up getting emphysema and he got lung cancer and died...
[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"]ah, well. I am being serious but not in the sense that you're implying. I'm saying when a specific behavior becomes harmful to the population as a whole it needs to be put in check. To be more specific.. should parents be allowed to smoke around children.. even though their numerous health problems that will develop such as allergies.. asthma.. simply because they're an adult and a citizen of the country?[QUOTE="mattbbpl"] I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Normally, such a stance would all but scream sarcasm, but I know that you're views tend to be extremist.
By this logic, nearly everything would be illegal because it's unhealthy. Such things as twinkies, soda, french fries, granulated sugar, candy, video games, movies, and tanning would all be illegal because they're "unhealthy".mattbbpl
IT's essentialy child abuse.. but where I grew up.. this is common practice and nobody thinks anything of it. IT would actually be wrong of you to suggest to that person they should smoke outside..
It isn't that practical as you make it sound..
The behavior of smokers.. and smoking in the same house children live in.. does effect them negatively.. even if smoke is not being blown into their face.. The residue from smoke disperes though out the entire house and stays in fabrics for signficantly long periods of time.
The other factor is that a smokers behaviors is not to hide themselves in a room and smoke by themselves.. THEY will smoke around other people if they can get away with it. They actually find it an inconvienance to them to suggest that they shouldnt' be able to smoke where they want too... It's unlikely that a smokers child will not be exposed to smoking significantly.
[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"]Wow, you sound like you know this guy.BiancaDK
not exactly rocket science.
Wow. I'm honestly hurt. To think I actually had an ounce of respect for you and etc.etc.etc.EMOEVOLUTION
Here, have a cookie.
I know more about your behavior Bianca than you know about mine. And in comparison to how transparent you can be.. it is rocket science to figure me out. You said a horrendously narrow minded comment.. and to deflect responsibility you say something about giving me a cookie.EMOEVOLUTION
you're an alt of oleg, aren't you.
There's only one person in OT that cracks me up as much as you do, EMO. I'm merely connecting the dots here.BiancaDK

I am not Oleg. However, I did get a good laugh out of this. But not sure where you're really going with it.It depends. I really cant stand people who smoke just to look cool (most teenage smokers). It honestly kind of pisses me off haha. There is really nothing cool about inhaling harmful chemicals into your body. But i dont really mind when adults do it, because they are usually just doing it to relieve stress or something.
It doesn't affect my opinion of them.Engrish_Major
Basically this. It's really not something that I use to judge people. Seems a little close-minded in my opinion.

Nowhere except to amuse myself. =)
Please, don't take anything i say on gamespot seriously. If you feel offended by what i said earlier; well you really shouldn't. Afterall, i don't know you right? Not even the slightest. I simply do not have the capacity to do so, which you kinda' insinuated in so many words, so take it as a fallacy, like you would take any lie based on ignorance in it's purest form.
I say you're a gazelle, but should you be offended by that? No, ofcourse not -- the mere notion is absurd. Even though i have stricken you from all human values, empathy, cognitive thinking, the very mass that is you. Now that's some offensive **** right there.
As long as you have me in this neat little box of yours, you don't really have the liberty to be offended by anything i tell you, atleast not in any objectionable way (bad science, bad!). It's just as much on you, as it is on me, but i can't do much about you, being in this little box you placed me in, so i guess you're just gonna' have to work on yourself, atleast until you decide to take me out of this box of yours. Then we might be able to figure out stuff together, who knows? Might, not saying we should, i have as little interest in that as you do. :P I actually prefer the old dance -- you being offended by something i tell you. It's much more fun that way. =)
Entirely unproductive you say?
Not really going anywhere with it? ...
Well, take a good look at this thread of yours, and tell me you didn't offend anyone else with it.
When you stop doing that, i'll stop doing this.
I would never judge someone because they smoke. I don't even bother lecturing smokers, because they've heard it all before and they can make their own choices.cjekgood man

believe me I got the amusing yourself pretty clear.. thats why I thought what you said was funny. If I offend somebody.. and they don't bring it to my attention.. am I really to blame? Of course if you never give somebody a chance or an opportunity to alter their behavior.. why would they? and I haven't once told you what I really think because I know that would be offensive and I don't really want to offend anybody.Please Log In to post.
