I love that song. I think I'll listen to it until I pass out drunk 'cause I've got nothing better to do on a friday night.

good answer

Sometimes, don't really know, but I'm a smoker so you prolly don't care about my opinion.

All I do in this life is burn time, but that is for another thread.

Every guy needs to understand that there are girls who (and oh I can already see the messageboard replies) just log on here and open an account because they have recently broken up and just want to feel like someone will in fact try to flirt with them. Self esteem booster. Of course, they don't bother posting in the message boards, so now I'll get all the replies about how "I'm not like that" and "how can you say that" etc. Go ahead, have fun, I don't give a s***. I was born into this life alone and I'll die alone happily if I don't find my "soulmate" or whatever you want to call it.

There is a DIRECT link between lung cancer and Radon gas (radiation has actually been shown to mutate DNA, smoking hasn't), but I don't hear anyone bitching about their basements being poisoned. The "link" between smoking and lung cancer is based on a statistic which is basically, when someone dies of lung cancer, they are asked if they are a smoker. If they are, no radon gas search.

Statically, everyone who drinks water is going to die.

Statistically, everyone who dies from a heart attack has eaten french fries.

Statistically, numbers lie.

If you want to continue on being a simpleton that's your problem, but if you actually want to do some research in the matter, find me ONE scientific artical that demonstrates chemically how smoke can mutate DNA (i.e. cancer), just one. go ahead I'll wait.








You can't because it's scientifically impossible at this point to show how smoke in the lungs can make cells mutate. It's much easier to say the sun causes cancer, at least there, there is a link.

Don't BS a physicist with bull crap you heard on the TV. I will not sit here and say it doesn't cause cancer but it's not a proven fact.

On to more important issues..... More people die in their cars every day than die of lung cancer. Should we outlaw automobiles for being a risk to our health? Grow the **** up already, it's about time.

I sincerely appologise for singling you out but a point had to be made and your post was in the right spot. I don't hate you, but I needed to make a point.

All in all said on the matter, I think this bill is a waste of time and taxpayer money. I don't even want to think about how much money I'm going to be spending to pay the surgeon general to come up with bigger and badder scare tactics to put on a box of cigarettes. Whatever it says, it can't compare to the nicknames that cigarettes have...

cancer sticks
death sticks
...
fags

Personally I hope a new brand emerges in a black box with the jolly rodger on the front and make the whole pack a list off all surgeon general bs in holographic letters.

I'll start smoking 2 packs a day. This product will need a really cool name too, like "Poison Pills" or "Addictive Death"

Man, I wanna smoke, think I'll have one..

I hope you feel better about yourself for protecting the universe from all the dangerous smokers, you proselytizing, simple-minded sentient.

Keep chipping away at various freedoms and making laws until life no longer has any simple pleasures. Next thing you know they will take sugar and salt, saying that it kills cardiac victims.

Tender soft and caring, you just have to get through all the wrapped up razor wire and other crap that it's collected over the years.

My artwork says it all, but I don't think I can put the plug in the forum, so if you want the web address have to check out the profile.

A rose shrowded in barbed wire has been my symbol since late in high school to early college, and I've drawn many of them, including the one tatted on my arm. Though I feel more like a thistle most days, better description but harder to draw.

Asking kind of alot aren't you?

Welcome to mingle and good luck.

I can agree with that. Mellow may be boring sometimes, but beats the hell out of drama. Now that I'm a little older and a lot wiser I'll take mellow any day of the week over everything else.

Too true. I only get to throw tongs when SLB is looking the other way though. I can get in trouble in my job for doing that :P

Right now I'm thinking about working my way back down the ladder just a tad though. The stress of these more officy jobs kinda gets to me. I don't like being responsible for millions of dollars worth of equipment. My 20,000 dollar surveying total station was plenty to watch out for.

I'd really like to do my webpage thing for a living, and I'm putting in a lot of extra hours on it, but we all know how that goes. You either make it or you don't with stuff like that.

the OP doesn't have a manly job anymore. I work in a box on an offshore rig and do boring computer crap all day. Before this job I was a land surveyer though and loved every minute of it, walking through swamps swinging a machette, ah there's nothing better. Working sissy jobs pays better though.

Since you're so interested.

Not all new agers are sissies. Just the sissy ones.

Ah, an artist, now that is what the world really needs more of, if you check out my profile there's a plug in there for my webpage, all of my stuff is sketches and webcomics (at least what's posted on the site).

In the midst of everything else I do I also like to get a cold one and sit right there in a bar with my sketchbook. Screws everybody up and throws them off.

Now that I actually come to think about it, I guess I do kinda like my life. It ain't so bad. Long as I can smoke and drink and burn stuff I got no problems...

Manly and intelligent?? No, stopl... LOL

That'll work I guess, LOL

I don't really know how manly I am, I'm not too much on the self embellishing, but I guess I did cut down a tree recently, and been chopping it up and burning when I'm onshore, and I do work on an oilrig. So I guess I'm close, lol.

Pretty much how all my relationships go, though they often "tell" me what a priority I am. I guess you don't have to listen to someone for them to be a priority? I can see that, makes sense.

Is that flower for Me?

I have no need for redemption, just thought it would be funny, and I noticed something else about guys from posting it.

Nobody has replied to this thread saying "I drink apple martinis and I don't consider myself a sissy",, ,, just saying.
