Asherian Command is a pyromanic.

I love pretentious <bleeps> that insist on criticizing other's life choices. If you're overweight, have no endurance, and/or can't lift your own body weight than you have zero reason to bash smokers.

Remove the plank from your eye before you try to remove the dust from others.

Wait, no he doesn't.

I mean, no I don't.

Honestly, whatever floats your boat, as long as it doesn't affect the buoyancy of mine.

I only smoke the tobaccy of the wacky variety.
Well, vaporize.
It's better for me and tastes better.
Cigarettes taste like analingus on a tire fire.

... But I miss them so.

Can't smoking and being overweight both be bad? Why do we have to choose only one? If someone is fat and smokes do I have to pick just one or can I recognize that both are unhealthy?

I love when pretentious 's insist on criticizing peoples ability to criticize while doing the same thing themselves.

Which one?

Well, only one of those is pluralized, and "them" is a third person plural...

Way to ruin a good joke with logic ¬.¬

Just don't go spewing that stuff around the internet, the internet and logic don't mix.

I ran a few tri's this summer, does that mean I can bash smokers?

What I said was incredibly straightforward. But as usual, it needs to be dumbed down for you.

If you're doing something that is unhealthy, you shouldn't criticize people for being unhealthy. Going up and bashing someone for smoking is on par with going up to some obese person and yelling "HEY FAT ASS LOSE SOME WEIGHT!"


People need to get off this stupid anti tobacco fad.

Yes and a few fatties while you're at it.

I'm no dr Phil, but sounds like Amaya has some weight issues?
Or at least resentment towards someone who was.

I hate cigarette smoke. It always give me headaches when Im around it.

You should ask to bum one, then rip off the filter and just breathe through it.

Sends a message, cures your headache, and hey, they have one less.

If that is the response you have to make for a given argument, the stupid probably isn't on the end of the person responding to you. Look closer to home. You also seem to misunderstand what leads to both nicotine addiction as well as being overweight. Generally you seem uniformed on the subject. You keep yelliing though, if you are loud enough and rude enough, that will make what you say seem true.

Amaya wrote:If you're doing something that is unhealthy, you shouldn't criticize people for being unhealthy.

It actually is more complicated than that and that line of reasoning has been proven multiple times to be pretty poor. Though considering your main response is "you're stupid" I wouldn't really expect nuanced or critical thinking to take part in your considerations.

I'm not sure you know what the word fad means. Smoking is extremely unhealthy for the person doing it and those around them. It has a negative environmental impact as well as all the cigarette buts don't mysteriously vanish into thin air. I remember on campus they put up ash trays for smokers to dispose of the buts yet I would still see people standing next to them tossing their cigs on the ground. I'm not calling for an outright ban, but I also don't think it is wrong to be able to say that it is a bad habit.

I smoke, have for almost three decades now...recently had a full check up..Doc said I'm healthy and in great shape..but ( and this is because he has to say it) I should " Probably stop smoking"...which made me chuckle as I saw the pack of Marlboro's in his pocket.
Sooner or later...every single one of us is going to die...and nothing is going to stop it from happening ...avoid smoking...die in a car wreck...avoid the car wreck..get torn apart by monkeys...avoid the monkeys...die laying in your own waste ,after gumming oatmeal for dinner, with no idea who you are anymore...

Yea sooner or later everyone of us will die, but Id rather not die a super painful and slow death, while my insides are being turned to mush. I havnt smoked in 3 or 4 years now. Good thing though, I used to smoke like a damn chimney

I used to smoke. I'd love to light up right now.

But I don't, because I know it's bad for me. Seriously, I would love a cigarette right now.

Nope,not me. That whole temptation phase left me awhile ago

It's been almost a year and I'm pretty much over any urges, but on rare occasions it rears it ugly head briefly.

And that's all well and good KC ..you made a choice to be healthier and are sticking by it...I cut out eating a lot of junk and have dropped almost fifteen pounds...
My point is...I know cigarettes aren't packed with vitimans and mineral ..I know they're not good for me...but I choose to smoke anyway...I don't need every other Mo I run into telling me how bad they are...O can read the side of the pack just fine...

Incidently..I have several Uncles who all smoke.. are all in their 60's and fit and fine...and a few great uncles who all smoked and lived into their late 80's...so perhaps I'll beat the odds...if not...hey..I did it to myself.

Smoking is a filthy, disgusting, expensive habit. If someone comes over and smokes in my house the stink lasts the entire day, it's vile. Plus kissing someone (or even being near someone) who smokes is enough to make me feel sick.

You could always tell the smoker to take it outside. I mean it is your house right?


FITZZ - Yea its your choice, and Im not one of those nuts that shoves it into peoples faces. I cant stop eatting potato chips, so we all have our vices

Kronk thinks looking down on people or judging them for their life choices is wrong.

Kronk asks people that smoke to take it outside of his home.

Kronk thinks smoking isn't the smartest thing a person can do.

Kronk is 35 and paints and plays with plastic army men (13k and counting), so take his opinion with a grain of salt.

I usually do, but sometimes you go out for a drink or a piss and they've lit up meanwhile.

Note to self ...Never try to kiss MrH...
