    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.

      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.

      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.

                        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).

                                I think I saw those bikes on 60 Minutes.... Sounds like I was pretty much right in what I thought then. You think you'll move there ?

                                  This trip has been a nice junket so far but probably not. Life here has a lot going for it but there's no place like home. Moving families, even small ones, around the world is expensive and stressful.

                                    Yeah, I would agree. No matter how nice some places are to visit, they are never home.

                                      Not all parts of the netherlands are equally bad :) But too many people here smoke, that is definitely true.

                                        Not all parts of the netherlands are equally bad Smile But too many people here smoke, that is definitely true.

                                        We're right in the centre of Amsterdam. Lots of Dutch people have told me that Amsterdam is not representative of Holland as a whole. Do you own red trousers?

                                          Ahh yes.. Amsterdam is one of the worst places. Where I live, there is usually at least one ass who smokes at the train station. There are usually some butts on the playground near my house, most of them from the drunk teenagers who hang out there on friday nights. No extreme amounts though. I don't own any red trousers, and I don't know what it would mean if I did :confused:
