You may be almost as good as my wife, although I doubt it.If your wife is any better than Humidston you had better kiss her feet and thank your lucky stars. Maybe one of these days I will have the same good fortune as you and Mr. Humidston.

I'll bet they would prefer their kid said he/she was gay over them saying they smoke! Smokers have been demonized so much. The hamburger is next.

Cheating on a test is an attempt to acquire better grades, something that parents usually value & which are alleged to impact future success. Smoking is not undertaken for any such long-sighted goal. Therefore cheating is an immoral but rational gamble, while smoking is simply stupid.

Smoking is a terrible habit, and it says a lot about a person's character. Alcohol use, on the other hand, doesn't necessarily point to a moral failing. My dad smoked when I was growing up. I did not like it at all. But Having a father who smoked is 100 times better than having a father who drinks (too much). Alcohol is way worse than tobacco. True, tobacco is more anoying to be around in a casual setting than alcohol, but come on. Alcohol can lead to real evil. Tobacco does not

Hey Sparky -- Why don't you create your own state -- a Fourth Reich in which to inflict your own hypocritical fascism?
There you may be free to shovel your horsesh*t censorship (or Marlboro ashes) to your heart's content. For now, stuff it back up your @ss.
LOL, nice homepage you've got there - drawing a blank?? Suggestion: A large single swatstika would do just fine, Fraulein Braun.

It took you 2 hours and 22 minutes to come up with "fascist" and "shove it up your @ss"?
Deep thinker you are, Foo Fighter.

Sometimes breathing into a paper bag will bring relief - maybe you should try it.

That's because I ran into him on some other threads and his tolerance is astounding. I stand by my view... but not in a narrowminded way, you understand. /semi-sarcasm
bigotry: \Big"ot*ry\, n.
1. The state of mind of a bigot; obstinate and unreasoning attachment of one's own belief and opinions, with narrow-minded intolerance of beliefs opposed to them.

"It took you 2 hours and 22 minutes to come up with 'fascist' and 'shove it up your @ss'?"An amazing display of time-keeping! Quite the over-achiever you must be.

My issue here on this thread is in the context of both a censorship and elitism -- not a smoking issue, Einstein, but thanks for illustrating your complete and utter lack of comprehension.

"My issue here on this thread is in the context of both a censorship and elitism -- not a smoking issue"A. The thread isn't about "your issues, censorship and elitism". It's about smoking. D'oh!
B. Anyways, I commented on you calling the kettle black, difficult as it is for you to comprehend.
"... Einstein.."
Thanks for the complement, as great as Einstein was, I prefer Richard Feynman. Not that you'd know who he was. Anyways, I'm not that bright, it just seems that way to you. Let's call it intellectual relativism.
"... but thanks for illustrating your complete and utter lack of comprehension."
I, and I suspect a lot of people, don't understand you. No doubt the fault lies with us and the stars.
