Somebody once said, you don't have to die happy; you just have to die satisfied. Given the life you lead, I cannot imagine that you gain much satisfaction from it - unless you are even less compos mentis than I imagine. Given our respective lifestyles and access to healthcare, by the way, I think there's a decent chance I'll live long enough to take a dump on your grave - assuming it is marked at all.

The life I lead is one of intellectual pursuit. One of the many things I find satisfaction in is filling my head with knowledge and plans for the future, and puffing away on a stick of tobacco while sipping a cup of good coffee while rocking in my chair thinking about anything and everything.

ROTFL !!! No, just because I am not weak minded and buy whatever drivel is shoveled at me by nutjobs, that is very different to not believing anything that is 'real'.

No, you like to fill your head with reasons to blame others for your situation.

No thats bullcrap. Since when did I blame anyone for my problems?

That's what conspiracy theories are for.

You are weak minded. You are a pacifist who does not want to think about the bad things in the world.

If you just think about it, you would see reality in more detail. You don't have to believe that Obama is a terrible evil man or whatever. All you have too see him for is part of a powerful world political group with the job of satisfying his group members without thinking about the real consequences. The guy in that video may seem loud and obnoxious, he does that to get people's attention.

Captain See Sharp

I don't blame my problems on the people that you think are made up or whatever. However Obama raised the tobacco tax far too much and that certainly will put any smoker in a bad mood. Taking smokers money is not the answer to the problem.

The One World Government? I always knew they existed but people have never listened to me. It's great to know there are other open minded people out there like me who can see reality for what it is. Keep spreading the word man!

Yes, it is. it will encourage people to quit, which is good for everyone.

No its not. They want and need more money, and they know that smokers aren't going to quit and they know they can count on people like you to think like that. How about they go after caffeine next? How would you like an extra 20 dollar tax on coffee?

“The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” - President Abraham Lincoln after the National Banking Act of 1863 was passed

Well, who doesn't ? But, the number of smokers is decreasing because, well, only a moron would smoke.

Well, if they really wanted to just raise money, they would do that. Coffee does not kill people, it is not a burden on the health system.

Most smokers smoke because it gives them comfort. You can't just tax something like that out of existence to rape people's wallets. People will always smoke even if there is a strict prohibition on it. Government needs to just fuck off and do what they should be doing.

It raises blood pressure and increases anxiety levels which causes many other health problems. Perhaps if you weren't shovel headed moron you would know that.
