Re: What's on your mind ?
If I knew absolutely nothing about the Middle East I would still know twice as much about the Middle East than I'll probably ever need to. As for the Socrates quotes, I think you're saying it's all Greek to you.
That and for "backing you up", only an idiot puts himself in the middle of two of his friends fighting. I figure left alone you'll kiss and make up or else one of you will will kill the other. Either way, hopelessly that will shut both of you the fuck up. :)

Truth, i was going to take a break, and let your friend Barbs post and have some interesting conversations:rolleyes:.
Barbs and Shay quick Twitter conversation....
Barbs: Sup...
Shay: My penis is Sup buddy do you want to come suck on it??
Barbs: Sur snd air ticket n i B thr ....
Anyways, when i see stupidity posted by some, it just pulls me back in J2K4;)..
I understand and respect everyone's opinions , but when there is no possibilities of it ever becoming reality, i do draw the line...Better yet fact from fiction,
or better yet every far Left or Far Right conception of reality....The middle always seem to work for the majority, even know others will never admit defeat;)
Re: What's on your mind ?
This is on my mind.....
The new packaging....
Attachment 183462
But this is ok and accepted....
Attachment 183463
Attachment 183464
Attachment 183465
This makes a lot of sense to me......
For you Idol...
Canadian Packaging.... $24.60 -$27 per tin...
Attachment 183466
American Packaging... $3 -$7 per tin......
Attachment 183467
Both come packaged from the US, and your concept of cost being a deterrence was the reason in pricing, is still the dumbest thing i have ever heard,
again luv to know where all of that tax collected (internal tax plus the HST!!!) is really going:yup:. It sure ain't improving our health care here......
I used to chew this flavor, but it started to give me heartburn...
Attachment 183468
J2K4: I assume they sell Skoal in the UK, be curious how much they charge in your town/city??
Re: What's on your mind ?
The dumbest thing I ever heard was not only that someone would willingly ingest something known to cause cancer but that they would actually also pay for it.
Also don't some recent studies out of Canada suggest that vaping may actually be worse for you than smoking? I ask because I don't generally pay much attention to tobacco and tobacco users beyond they can all go and fuck themselves.

Yes that was my point, so why the double standards on packaging/advertisement... So....

Well in the back of your mind you should, because that tax is collected for our supposed social services, if that doesn't exists,
what then..
Do you think they should ban all tobacco, narcotics, alcohol, marijuana (of all kind) because they are not good for you??
Re: What's on your mind ?
Don't ban it. That doesn't work. Look at American alcohol prohibition in the 1920s and the never ending unsuccessful war on drugs. Make it all legal and tax it. Use the money to fund healthcare and infrastructure. The problem is governments are wasteful and bad at fiscal responsibility. Their is no oversight and even if there is, it doesn't get enforced.
All of the unhealthy products available in our "free" countries are why healthcare is expensive (including other reasons). All of it should be taxed extra to help pay for healthcare. If people like having the freedom to eat/drink/use unhealthy products that end up putting an unnecessary burden on our healthcare systems, they should have to pay for it. Not the people that don't consume that crap.

So you are ok with having children vaping?? And dying!!!!, or addiction caused by sexy advertisement?? Hmmmmm!!!!
What about the 190 million Americans that have paid healthcare?? They should pay for the people that don't?? Or get a much worse system and be
penalized because they have good jobs??
Back and Forth and Back and Forth we can go!!! Right now your Moderate Democrats don't agree with socialized health care, only the pulled left wing pipe
dreamers or the Communists thinker that fail at math and lie how it is going to be paid for do;)....
You Americans have no fucking idea what tax is!!! If you had to pay half of the taxes we pay here you couldn't feed your children!!! Again forget it because
it is never going to happen in your lifetime, or mine, so even having a debate on this is useless.... Warren's 52 Trillion dollar Health Care dream will never
work, and what about free School and everything else??and Biden's Idea may or may not work either....
All this shit you hear is crap to win a Primary!!!, once there is a nominee, it will all change and become more moderate policies....
I asked myself this!!! And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out buddy... We have a Green Party here that thinks like your left wing nutbags in
the US, and here you see tons of protests and rallies and all kinds of shit!!! Now wouldn't you think they are voters??!! The Green Party got 3 fucking seats
buddy!!!!
Again pipe dreams are pipe dreams, and some are valid, but not at the expense of not having the funds to feed your families.. You only see on the news
the extreme Left and the extreme Right!!!.. It is such a small amount of voters that it means fuck all!!!!...
Again your country and my country are divided right now, but we still have to live, all of us!!! So somewhere in the middle there is logical things you just
have to accept.....
The same look at the Democrat dominate Cities and look at the Republican cities, which ones are better off?? If you look at the map here and how people
voted?? It was Unbelievable buddy....
Saying i don't like you because you think that way or the way i think isn't going to change shit!!!, take the fucking positives out of any Government and that
is that!!!
You don't like Trump!!!, really i don't give a shit!!!, i like some of the Reps policies and some the Dems, you know the ones that make sense for the majority,
not the few That will never be happy no matter what!!!!....
Just remember that every time we argue about the same exact shit buddy.......Thank G-D you have a roof over your head food in your belly, and you wake
up every day to see the sun ;)
Re: What's on your mind ?
Last I recollect anyone mentioning it, chew or cigarettes were in the neighborhood of 7-8 American dollars per can/pack.
I agree as to the stupidity of tobacco use: I say this as one who smoked from the age of about 15 (when my athletic career ended abruptly) to the age of 44, when I had my first heart attack.
Vaping seems to have become subject to shysterism right out of the box - "legitimate" products have been spoofed, the market for these products has become rife with dangerous substances distributed outside the marginally effective regulatory 'box' the Feds
institute to assure some semblance of quality while collecting taxes.
The argument that the casualty-count stems from these abuses cannot be adequately countered at this point.
These is talk of outlawing "vaping" until product legitimacy can somehow be assured.
To me, any/all of these habits demonstrate the human bent toward natural selection - it's like declaring war...on oneself.
