Wow yourself.

Those are mostly really horrible examples and gross misinterpretation of things that've been said here.

Most of the things you're talking about are not even closely related to someone putting themselves into a position of imminent danger.

Smokers, second-hand smoking, addiction, extreme sporting, and *anyone* who does *anything* *potentially* dangerous? Say what? Your nonsensical examples have no relation whatsoever to what I've been discussing.

Laying under a moving car or playing Russian roulette or climbing into an alligator pit or shooting at cops with machine guns... Yes, those kinds of things are exactly the same as someone with a lifetime of addiction or who uses safety gear and expertise with a reasonable expectation they'll walk away from their sporting activity unharmed. Right? Pshaw.

You're either doing a really bad job of trolling or just a really bad masterdebater.

Wow.

So, smokers who get lung cancer can go fuck themselves? Same for people who live with smokers? No sympathy for those assholes. They should've known better. Having said that, Amy Winehouse can go fuck herself as well, everbody knows the risks of alcoholism. And no sympathy for Paul Walker either. Speeding, really? And those idiots dying in parachuting accidents deserve what's coming to them as well. Should've stayed on the ground. Same with every somewhat dangerous sport. Applies to you too, Michael Schuhmacher.
Fuck all those people who did something potentially dangerous and got seriously hurt or killed because of it. Empathy is for pussies anyways.
This is especially valid for people who cause others financial harm as they deserve death the most. Preferably by having the head crushed under a tire.

Agreed. Ass-fuckers and cock-smokers by choice.

I don't have the right not to be offended? lol

Good god, everyone today is offended. People are offended because a football team is called the 'Redskins'.

People are offended because others don't believe in global warming.

People are offended by Duck Dynasty.

People are offended by Chik-fil-ay

People are offended by anything regarding Christianity.

People are offended by gun laws.

People are offended by nudity.

People are offended by violence.

People are offended by cigarette smokers.

You are obviously offended by me and my preferences.

etc etc etc etc etc

If that is your argument, I just blew it out of the water.

Also, why are my preferences 'wrong' or 'narrow'?

Also, I don't look or search google for homosexual images or apologias or anything else of that nature. I prefer searching google for nude babes.
I can judge just as well as you judge me.
What happened to that old adage 'everyone has their own opinion'?

Perhaps you have too much Chaos in your life and could use a little order.

This is some bs. As if social smokers are in denial about the fact they smoke (or that it's bad for them), they just use the term social smoking to indicate they smoke when going out/hanging out with friends/etc, not at home.
Should social drinkers "quit the denial" and face the fact that they're "drinkers", or if we go with the tone of this ad, alcoholics?

Sick, twisted, and 100% allegorically correct.
Can't wait to see what the entire population inside the D.C. beltway tastes after about 3 weeks in a massive smokehouse. We could convert the Washington Monument into a smoker, the nation should start taking bids for the renovation immediately.

*promote Stefan Molyneux, anarcho-capitalism, and some of the comments here (my own sentiments in-particular here stated by Blankfist's retort to NetRunner) in the true-spirit of the annihilation of all arguments blathered by sophistic cock-smokers, which have made me smile today.

That was funny, they have an entire channel web series of these, my favorite is the smoker on a hoveround scooter they blast

That is an observation of a logical mind. If smokers were logical, they wouldn't have become smokers in the first place.

I loved that segment when I watched the episode -- Ross Noble putting the whole tin directly on his face had me rolling.

I am pretty strongly anti-smoking, and this made me wonder why smokers (especially those that already want to quit) don't try to switch to snuff more often. Why isn't there some sort of movement to promote that? Shit-stain handkerchiefs and slight increase in naso-pharyngeal cancer rates seems like an easy trade to make over smelling horrendous, greatly increased lung cancer rates for yourself and probably loved ones as well, etc. etc.

Maybe in some of those places in the US where state and local governments are trying to curb smoking rates via extreme taxes or outright public-space bans, they should be promoting or providing a (comparative) tax break for snuff. I'd happily wander through a crowd of brown-handkerchief folks loitering around entrances to public buildings instead of a noxious smoke-cloud.

@artician

Even if the models for the decline of empires are inexact, poorly sourced or even exaggerated, they are doing so to combat the overwhelming force of the status quo that feeds us a constant stream of comforting, mind-numbing bliss through mass media, mostly delivered though TV news, advertising and cleverly veiled in the actual entertainment that the audience enjoys.

It's hard to mount a comeback against a presupposed cultural truth supported by any form of economic interest. The tobacco industry, for example, mounted powerful misinformation and doubt as scientific evidence slowly leaked out that smoking was harmful. People just don't want to hear that the way they live and what they "know" to be true is going to change and that personal choice is going to have to be limited to some extent.

The same is true for global warming, deforestation, species extinction, pollution, etc., etc. You can resist the "ineffectual mumblings" of Hitchens, Chomsky and the like, but you do so to at your own peril. People like you are the do-do bird in this scenario. People like you are the 2 pack-a-day smoker who thinks they've been smoking for 20 years and feeling fine so why quit now. "Screw the scientists, they're all out to make themselves rich so they concoct these cackamamy experiments to 'prove' they need more research funding." Okay, it's your right to dismiss the advice of people smarter than you.

This video follows the same vein as Peter Joseph's Zeitgeist series (which I suggest you watch or rewatch for shits and giggles.) The idea of consumption tax seems a lot easier for our system to adopt than Joseph's idea of a "Resource-Based Economy." It just sounds more fair that those consuming resources pay back into the system and less airy-fairy than some socialist "to-each as to his need" idea. And let's face it, it's right on a social level. It's just too hard to get there based on our current economic and political structure.

Our wasteful way of life is just unsustainable. I don't think anyone can deny that the ponzi scheme of FIAT money is eventually going to collapse because the balance of wealth is way out of whack AND ONLY GETTING WORSE. And the USA is at the top, and yet owes trillions in funny money that they can only pay back if they stop building missiles and tanks. But I think we all know that when the shit hits the fan, we're going to want to get behind those tanks to ride out the storm of resistance from the 99%. Not the privileged 99% in the west, the 99% of destitute, impoverished poor that build the toys, sew and clothes, glue the plastic Walmart crap, and GROW THE FOOD that we want.to have cheap. We're doing this all on the backs of the "free slaves" in undeveloped countries: Columbia, Bangladesh and on and on.

Search your feelings, Luke. You know it to be true.

Ain't that the truth? But in Japan, your 13-yr-old daughter gets groped on the train or subway and nobody, not even your daughter says anything nor do they esteem their women highly enough to simply kick some stranger's ass on principle!!

My ex GF slapped some Muslim cock-smoker in Jarkarta when he groped her on an asses-to-elbows bus ride....People cut a fucking swath around her as she told the asshole off. (That's Texas via Philadelphia for all you douchebag males out there.....)

wow, I mean yeah, fuck people who litter, I mean seriously, take all the pot smokers/dealers in prison, free them and replace them with any person who litters.

but holy shit, did they needlessly risk life and limb to return that bottle.

LOL @ smokers.

Blind adherence to the cult of personality.

Why do liberals love Obama?

1. he's black (not really...he's half white) so...white guilt
2. big choom smoker back in the day
3. has a great smile
4. young, so he's cool
5. trying to lessen the impact of America in the world, because they believe America is the root of all evil
6. supports abortion

How Obama gets away with it:
1. No one wants to be the person in the history books who 'brought down' Obama.

But don't give up hope, people, his chickens will come home to roost.
