I was hoping you'd find this. The entire premis of Bullock's argument is the fact that she began smoking before the warnings. She probably had 20 years after them to stop and she would never have gotten cancer. Why is this the fault of MO?

Listen, that old broad is 64 YEARS OLD!!!!!! She is even older then ME! LOL

Even "I" knew that back when I was a teen, my parents told me "If you ever smoke we will KILL you!" I knew even back in the 50's that smoking was not GOOD for us! Give me a BREAK!!!

And even though cigarette packs didn't have the gross Surgeon General Koops (who is now bankrupt) on them, they DID state the amount of tar and nicotine. And the anti's think this is all new.

Well, do I ever have news for THEM!

As for this suit: some damn anti took this woman behind closed doors and had a TALK with her!!! It's all about money. You know it and "I" know it!

Listen to the news today: FRENCH FRIES are a killer! And people are even suing fast food places because they are blaming them for their obesity!!!!

You know? It's time we all take responsiblily for ourselves. It's a pity that lousy lawyers and money grubbing people are going to courts for money. Absolutely absurb.

The Leftists are against non-fat fries. The product has been tested, accepted as no different than the other, and the wackos continue to bitch. What does that say to you?

Actually, Phillip Morris is for SALE: Tobacco sector seen able to weather legal storm

"This litigation has been around for years, everybody already knows about the future risk of litigation and in general, we think it's already reflected in the stock price," Dan Ahrens, co-portfolio manager of Mutuals.com's Vice Fund, said after the verdict was announced.

"We're buying Philip Morris, it's on sale," Ahrens said."
