How can you even tell if I am "emotionally stable" or not? It's the internet, and without facial expression and tone of voice your judgement is severely off.
And I did nothing but reply to what you said, so if I "missed the point" because I replied to you, then you missed the point as well.
LOL, no, i think it is safe to say that you missed the point. If i said something, and you missed the point, that dont mean that i missed the point.. It means your reading comprehension needs some work.
Now how can i tell if you are "emotionally stable" or not? First of all, see "Sarcasm" in the dictionary. Second, Maybe from the whole "I dont fucking want some dirty fucking goddamn smoker coughing up their filthy fucking smoke into my fucking goddamn air!!!!!!!!!!!" and shit along those lines that you were saying. whether or not you think so, talking like that shows anger. if you werent angry when you typed that, and you dont want people to think that you were, then dont type like that and then no one will think that youre heated.
Yes, and I told you that you shouldn't even compare the two. One is smoking, the other is a war. They should never be used in comparison unless you have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
Do you understand the concept of using "Analogies?" Analogies are a form of speech or writing that compares one thing to another thing, by drawing a parallel between them. It dont mean that they are the same thing. it is a way to examine and analyze something by comparing it to something that may or may not be similar, but its a way to give perspective on something.
Ill say it one more time, as simple as i can.
You: A large group of people not liking something is a good reason for it to be stopped. (You yourself stated this after i asked you if it was true. you said yes, its a good reason. ) If a large group of people dont like smoking, by your logic, it should be eliminated. My beef was with your completely flawed reasoning that general dislike=good enough reason to stop or illegalize something.
My point was that obviously this is NOT a legit reason, because there are many other things in this country that people dont like (Including the war in iraq) That are still going on. Why? Because "Not liking" it, aint a valid reason. Thats all i was saying. Thats it. nothing more. So, i dont know where the hell you get me saying "If you support anti-smoking, you support iraq" out of that. That dont make sense, and i would never say something like that, because its fucking STUPID. If you want to keep on reading your own bizarre meanings into shit after it been repeatedly explained to you, go ahead, but thats your deal.
You can substitute iraq with alcohol drinking, or homosexuality, or george bush, or anything you want. All these things are issues that many people dont like, and all of them are still goin strong. alcohol is still legal, homosexuality is still legal (As both of those things should be), george bush is still president regardless of his almost 70% disapproval rate. DO you need your hand held longer or does this spell it out enough for you, i think i said the same thing about 5 times here so hopefully it will start to dawn on you that whatever the hell you are gettin offended about has nothing to do with this and youre taking it out of context.
i never said iraq is related to smoking. It aint. I mentioned it because it was simply there as a
COMPARISON. if you cant understand this now, after it been explained clearly three times, then that is also your problem.
If you would have put in enough intelligence to actually read my post, you would know that I said "smoking effects the health of the people around you", not simply because they don't like it.
Yea, LOL , except that you SAID , let me quote
A lot of people are really pissed off about smoking in general, and well congress doesn't ignore that so of course a law is going to come around some time taking away the rights of smoking.
I said this:
So, lemme get this straight.
A lot of people dont like smoking, thats your justification for it to be illegal.
Im lookin, and lookin, but i dont see nothing to back up your theory that a law banning smoking will come around, other than "Alot of people are really pissed off at smoking in general." do you think that is a good reason for legislature?
YOU said:
Yea people don't like to breathe in smoke when someone else around them is smoking.
So.....Yea....Nuff Sed on that one.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
My bad, maybe you didnt make it to highschool yet.
OK, In high school in the US, they give you the tests that give a paragraph, and then you have to read it, and then make a conclusion based on what the author was writing, and decide what the author was implying, without directly saying it. Its to see how good your ability to understand what you read is.. this is called "reading comprehension."
Judging by the way that you misunderstand and misinterpret pretty much everything everyone is saying about this, Im pretty sure you were the kid that read "Pollution is as much of a problem in todays society as the bubonic plague was in the dark ages" And under "What is the author saying about pollution?" you picked "You can get the bubonic plague from pollution." as the answer.
So far, everyone else been able to understand the arguement im making, and also been able to respond to it with more than the emotional maturity of a 14 year old, so im guessing the problem lies with you buddy.
