[QUOTE="Dracargen"]Answer to all of your questions: Because they're stupid.Ninja-Hippo

Not really. :?

I drink. I'm hardly an alcoholic, but if i go out with my friends or come home after a long day you bet i'll have a nice cold beer. I'm not killing my liver because i'm not pounding whiskey down my neck every night. If you drink in moderation you're not doing yourself any harm at all.

As for smoking; i'd agree that that is indeed just stupid. You know it's addictive. You know they're insanely bad for you. And you know that the more you do it the more you'll need to keep doing it. So why bother? :?

Same with drugs.

LOL hilarious post right here :P

[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"][QUOTE="Hinata237"]I started smoking two days ago to kill my depression and keep myself occupied.Hinata237

I know your just saying that for attention but, don't. From experience smoking loses all that is appealing at the beginning.

Uhh no, I smoke because I'm sick with my life. I want to die. I'm not just saying that for attention.

Smoking will pretty much bring me closer to death and will probably make it easier for me to die.

Lung cancer is not an easy way to die.:shock:

That does not provide us with a reason for them to do it.

People do it for many resons. Some of them is to get away from stress and all the problems in their life. For example, some military units simply take it because they see a death of an innocent every day. People who do this simply want all the problems in their life to be taken away and be gone forever. Even though it helps them, it still considers the fact that it's dangerous for your health and affects others.

[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"][QUOTE="SIapshot"]

[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"][QUOTE="SIapshot"][QUOTE="Film-Guy"]I am sorry if this offends anyone, but am I the only person who has very limited sympathy for meth heads? Everyone knows meth is terrible for you and there is no good reason to try it, you would think these guys who expect sympathy would have heard something bad about Meth.SIapshot

Exactly. We have the same problem with crackheads here in NY. They will do anything for another hit. They'll steal their grandmother's medication money and sell their kids' Christmas presents to get high. I know that they have serious underlying problems that led up to their drug abuse, but that is no excuse, and I am with you on that subject. No sympathy whatsoever.

I don't think anyone gives a crap about your sympathy to be honest. Why don't you go donate some money to a drug charity and be a part of the solution rather than complaining about a completely solvable problem.

There is no sympathy to give a crap about, and drug programs focus on the addiction, which is only a symptom of the real problem. You can't cure a disease by treating the symptoms, which is why drug programs have such a high failure rate.

The real problems are child abuse, neglect, and poverty. People who abuse drugs are masking symptoms of a larger problem that only they know about, and is therefore incurable by you, me, or anybody else.

Why don't you do some research before you try calling me out? :)

So your saying there is nothing we can do to stop child abuse, neglect and poverty?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Nobody can police every parent, every teacher, every priest, every cop. Nobody can make a parent go to work, or stop them from dating pedophiles. Nobody can stop a father from abandoning his children.

Personal responsibility, that's what it boils down to. Take it or leave it.

I see so what your saying is. We can't do anything... Let's arrest them stick them in prison for a few years where they will most probably increase their drug habit and then release them again to start crime again and end up back?

I do the 1st and 3rd. I drink because it's fun being drunk. I smoke cigars because the flavored ones are awesome. The normal ones are just kind of boring.

How about this, because we want to? I don't see a particular reason to share my personal reasons for drinking,smoking or doing drugs.

Why is it people seem to think it's such a terrible thing to do something you enjoy?

Why not!? I can understand where your view on smoking is at and I understand that, but your going to have to drink very heavily each day to have something really bad happen to your body. People get depressed, pressured, have pain, and drugs unfortunetly is the only thing that can solve some of that besides a medicine cabinent or a loaded glock.

Why not go party!? Who knows how long your going to live? and even though drugs may increase that rate... JUST LIVE!

Smoking is yucky poopy! :P

Let me give you one example someone might drink. Let's say you hurt yourself and it hurts insanely bad. Some people will drink to take the pain away. There are HUNDREDS of other reasons (Some valid....others just stupid).

2ndq: why do people take drugs? it's not food or drink, it's other things that r bad 4 the body, i don't know much about drugs.

3rdq: why do people smoke cigare? it's smoke, poison, bug killer and necottean, they say when u put the necottean of the cigar n your blood it could kill the human, don't forget it contains tar! and it's smoke and brings lungs cancer.

imagine that a lot of people around the world do and die these things and it makes the most die recordes around the world.

about the drug thing, a very wise old man said to me, if i were ever to do drugs, he said stay away from all the man made ****, only do things that come directly from the earth, such as marijuana, purple haze, now noone has ever in the history of history, gotten cancer from marijuana, had lung problems with marijuana (helps slow down lung cancer caused by ciggarrettes something that is made legal by our government btw!) they only say that marijuana is a "gateway drug" and thats a load of crap. take it from me ive smoked it too many times to count and it has NEVER EVER EVER! made me wonder, i wander what crack, heroin, speed, cocaine, X, etc. is like. my way of thinking of drugs is, if you can overdose on it then dont do it. cigars are completely different from ciggarettes, cigar tobacco is pure tobacco at least thats what my friends tell me, and your not supposed to inhale cigar smoke, your supposed to taste the different flavors that they put on the cigars paper, now ciggarettes are a different case, you are supposed to inhale the smoke and thats what causes lung cancer. now the alcohol thing. most people just drink because of stress, or its just a special occasion. it does kill your liver and all that, god i wish theyd just legalize marijuana already.

Number one: you can easily 'OD' on alcohol.

Number two: cannabis is, or for me at least was a gateway drug.

Because alcoholic beverages taste good and are enjoyable. There's also a lot of evidence suggesting that a beer or glass of wine here and there can be quite good for you.
It's more of an acquired taste, but after awhile you learn to enjoy the flavour of a cigar as well. Granted you can chalk a lot of that up to the addictive chemicals.

That's a blatant lie. Marijuana will give you cancer far faster than a normal ciggarrete will. I think the effect of a joint on the lungs is something like 6 times that of a ciggarrete.

i've heard that one joint has the same amount of tar as 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, and 20 cigarettes. i'm sure all they can't all be correct. in actuality, the average joint contains as much tar as two cigarettes. and that's just a joint. you smoke from a bong and you get less because of the water filtering it. you use a vaporizer and you get none. you eat it and you get none.

Cuz they wanna act cool, thats why.paul999
EXACTLY! Pablo Escobar was one of the richest people in the world during the early 90s(Or perhaps late 80s) because people wanted to look cool by buying his stuff. It's not like Cocaine makes you high! NO WAY! People only spend 200 dollars on Cocaine that can be wasted in 2 or so days to look cool.

True, but I was referring to a side by side comparison. I was replying to a post up above where a guy more or less claimed that marijuana wasn't bad for your lungs.
