Parents who smoke in the presence of their kids are idiots.
-
Smoking in general is stupid, but yes, I agree that people who smoke around their kids are double dumb. It's actually illegal to smoke in your car with kids in the car now, I believe. I'm not sure I agree with excessive legislation, the fact is, the way most parents act around their kids is probably stupid.

The excessive legislation wouldn't be enforceable anyway, it just creates some ammo against stupid parents
Yeah, that's probably true. I don't get, as a parent, how parents justify 'do as I say, not as I do'. I mean, if you smoke, why wouldn't your kids ? If you drink all the time, why would you expect your kids not to want to try it ? How can people who swear all the time expect their kids not to ? And so on. The easiest way to be a parent, is to be able to say 'don't do things that I don't do'.

It's not that I care these kids (who have a high chance of having bad genes, seeing as at least one of the parents has the stupid-gene), but lack of rationality disturbs me. What do they hope to gain from this? Medical bills? That could work. Smoking in the presence of your children is child abuse. Discuss. btw, IMHO Ray Cassick won the previous thread, congratulations. Epic counter-troll.
What the fuck do you care, all of us are going to die.

Strangely enough, everyone I know who is clever, smokes. I belong to a group of pub quiz winners, minimum entry is a good degree, and all smoke. Even Sherlock would admit a hard problem was a three pipe problem. If you think smoking is a sign of stupidity, you are mad. True dimness is only apparent if you have beliefs in afterlife or god(s).

So why should you care if I smoke?

Cool, things may get interesting now :thumbsup:
Well it is a fact that most people have been killed by closed minded cockswillers who think that god is on their side. Meanwhile, those with brains get on with reality and deal with the problems we have, regardless of whether a chap has a cigarette in his mouth or not. I actually cannot think down to the level of people who do not see that the universe is one of scientific laws. So to say that smoking is bad is crap, especially as the people who are likely to say that probably drive cars.

I don't, for you, but there are aimless dim people who may take your argument as truth. It has happened before where uneducated goat-herders have had shite taken as law. (qv Bible, Koran etc)

It happens all the time, maybe the majority of the people simply choose not to think for themselves because it's easier that way?
Then the dim need educating. And certainly not by shit books of doubtful origin, but by scientific papers showing how what they do is an abomination.

I don't smoke. But my parents did. Neither does my wife. But her parents did. And in our youth there was no stigma attached to smoking. But we do understand how easy it is to succumb to peer pressure. 'There but for the Grace of God' ...

Summed it up nicely... Did you 'discover' god, or did your parents brainwash you?

I am so glad that your brain is addled by alcohol and a reduced blood supply, otherwise I would never solve a CCC. (Not that I ever get up before the solution is posted.)

I have never believed in God, merely a quotation.

No, my parents sent us to Sunday School so that they could spend 'Quality Time' together. :)

You must think very little of me if you think I'd stoop so low as to bother replying to that. Smoking is an intelligence test only for people below a certain age. Even then, it's probably more a test of common sense and ability to resist peer pressure. People of a certain vintage had no idea what smoking did to you, when they started.
