Turn the tv on or read a newspaper.It's been clear since the dawn of time.

Surely smoking is a prime example of ignorance?

You'll have to clarify that for me a little,uncle Tim.....HOW IS SMOKING MEANT TO BE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF IGNORANCE?

i think he means that because smoking kills and is so bad for you, yet people do it anyway regardless of the health risks. still though some clarification should be in order.

Thank you. No clarification needed.

Isn't there a difference between ignorance and beligerance? That is, if you know about smoking killing, you aren't ignorant of the fact that it kills?

porkmarras 09.09.2006 10:10 AM

But that's a choice.Smokers know that it's bad for you and that explains the occasional quitting so i still don't understand how that's meant to be ignorant in any way.

porkmarras 09.09.2006 10:11 AM

I'll ask Pookie in this case.

Being "ignorant" doesn't mean that you don't understand that smoking kills, it just means that the reality of the idea doesn't click. And if that's the case, then by the time it actually does - you're already addicted. Then a whole new issue arises and much more difficult choices have to be made that can't be considered "ignorant" anymore. The ignorance would only occur during the initial starting of it.

Well, I've cut back alot, only had two today and both were just given to me. I was going to stop on the way home and get some but all the stores were closed, this sucks, espeacially if people call you yelling for 30 minutes at you because they think you stood them up...

HaydenAsche 09.09.2006 11:06 PM

I bought 3 packs today. I was thinking about at least cutting down a bit but fuck it. School sucks. Work sucks.

Everyneurotic 09.09.2006 11:12 PM

i had one today after like a don't know how many weeks, i have been having cold/cough symptoms for a couple of days now so it sored my throat a bit.

i'm such a cheap smoker, i'm saving my last three lucky strikes for tomorrow's concert i'm going.

HaydenAsche 09.09.2006 11:14 PM

Every-N, you'd be proud. I'm smoking Djarum Filterless right now. They are fantastic.

Everyneurotic 09.09.2006 11:17 PM

i bought filterless shit two months ago and that's what i've been smoking, i'm saving the good shit for tomorrow though.

i am proud, hayden, i am proud.
