Parents who smoke in the presence of their kids are idiots.

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 ?
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?

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).

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.

People of a certain age knew that being soldiers may shorten your life. It never stopped me from joining up. Or is your argument that Anyone Who Signs Up To Be A Soldier Is An Idiot Too? There are many things that shorten life, but not all of them are bad. I choose to smoke. I also chose to jump out of airplanes. I also decided that being a soldier was fun. Life is about risk, without it, life is boring.

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 predict that the dim will refuse education. Or they will look in the face of science, and still deny it.
No denying the fuckwits will rule the earth. Luddites and Antiscientists will force humanity into a technological backwater that will lead to extinction. Change or die is the creed of life.

I'm sorry, if you're so lacking in common sense or decency to know when what you say is stupid, or that you're being an ass, I'd prefer not to participate.

You really should. Take a puff every hour or two and you will have a substantial increase in mental capacity. It is better than coffee. If I had some I'd smoke.

ROTFL !!!!

Given that coffee does not increase mental capacity, that's a bit like saying that having one arm is better than having none, if you want to play the guitar.

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.
We moved from Australia to Holland this year with our two year old. In Oz it's illegal to smoke in a car with a child, within X meters of a park or playground and you would almost never see someone smoking while pushing a pram. In Holland they smoke everywhere, at the playground with their kids, at the dinner table and its not always tobacco. I pick the butts out of the local sandpit while he plays.

I didn't know you'd moved there. I vaguely knew you were there and assumed it was a temporary work trip or something. That's just gross.

We still have our house in Sydney. The company is providing accommodation till the end of the year when we will go home for xmas. We'll either sell up then and return to Holland or stay in Sydney for good. Life here is fun, if you look on facebook you'll see a photo of my Mrs and son in their new three wheeled bakfiets (box bike).
