What’s wrong with you idiots?

Q: How can you call yourself a good parent when you try to kill your kid everyday? that’s right, i’m targeting cigarettes. All the time i see parents with 8 year olds, 5 year olds, hell i’ve even seen little babies who do’nt even look to be over 2 years old, in the backseat while mommy’s puffing away at a cigarrete in the front of the car, here are the problems with this:1. The kid has no choice but to sit in the back, windows rolled up because it’s cold, no other way to go anywhere, but to breathe in that smoke.2. This is putting the kid at risk for cancer and other diseases, not to mention problems breathing when he’s around middle school and up.3. This risks the parent of dying and breaking the kid’s heart.4. distraction from the road, could crash and burn.5. Infants people, they don’t even KNOW they’re being hurt for God’s sake.6. isn’t that against the law now in many states? if not, it should be. in fact cigarettes should be just as illegal as marijuana, cigarettes kill a LOT more people than that illegal crap.and i’ve seen little kids who’s parents smoke imitate them, pick up a candy cane, puff away and say “i’m smoking” i told one “no, that’s bad, you dno’t want to smoke” they say “mommy smokes”. that really ticks me off, come on parents, these are your kids, if you really care about them, put it out, quit, nicorette gum, i don’t care, just stop smoking!are you green, smoking puts harmful greenhouse gas in the air.it hurts people you dno’t know, smoking in a restaraunt or outside wal-mart? people walk past, they don’t know you, they don’t like the smoke, don’t force them to eat fast-food to go when they want to go to a nice breakfast place with the family and have a family breakfast.and wtf, if a smoker hates the smell of other people’s smoke, why the crap do they smoke?bottom line STOP SMOKING, it’s rude, inconsiderate, deadly, stupid, i could go on for hours.fun facts:Each year about 443,000 people in the United States die from illnesses related to cigarette smoking. Cigarettes kill more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined. Cigarettes are responsible for ~11 types of cancer.it can kill babies before they’re born.Erectile dysfunction can be caused by smoking.smoking puts nicotine in your blood, babies blood comes from the mother’s blood in pregnant women. 2+2=4.it causes many other problems in everyday life, such as fatigue, bronchitus (spelling), unhealthy weight loss, trouble breathing, coughing up blood, loss of apetite, and many more.There are ~4000 deadly, toxic, cancer-causing, and/or illness-causing chemicals in every cigarette. some are chemicals also used in: antifreeze, urine, sweat, animal repellent, pesticides, and so many things that would kill you if a lot of it got into your body.those who say how hard it is to quit: yes, it’s hard, but use will, anti-smoking programs and gum, it’s possible, i know people who’ve done it.don’t start in the first place and you won’t have the problem anyway, think about that.@heil hitler: hmmm, can’t talk without a machine? WONDER WHY? yuo’ll be dead in a week.@the first guy: rofl that’s hilariousok i’m adding too many details, i can’t reply to everyone who posts something funny in agreement or something retarded against what i say, if you think what i say is bull, then we’ll see who’s laughing when you die in a few years at ago 34 while i live long past 70, lawlpwnt.i can’t help myself but lmao at the guy who said “city bus puts out more pollutants then my cigs” well, goody for that bus, and this covers up the fact that that’s just additional crap, not a replacement, how? it’s like saying “all the alcohol i drink hurts me more than this cigarette” well, that just means you have somehting worse then smoking AND smoking, your killing yourself twice, have fun

Q: DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN…? All the girls had ugly gym uniforms? It took five minutes for the TV warm up? Nearly everyone’s Mom was at home when the kids got home from school? Nobody owned a purebred dog? When a quarter was a decent allowance? You’d reach into a muddy gutter for a penny? Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces? All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done every day and wore high heels? You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn’t pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot? Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box? It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents? They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. . and they did? When a 57 Chevy was everyone’s dream car…to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady? No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? Lying on your back in the grass with your friends and saying things like, “That cloud looks like a “and playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game? Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger? And with all our progress, don’t you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace,and share it with the children of today? When being sent to the principal’s office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home? Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn’t because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat. who can still remember Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Laurel and Hardy, Howdy Dowdy and the Peanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows, Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk. As well as summers filled with bike rides, baseball games, Hula Hoops, bowling and visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar. Didn’t that feel good, just to go back and say, “Yeah, I remember that”? To remember what a double dog dare is, read on.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, “Do Over!”? “Race issue” meant arguing about who ran the fastest? Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening? It wasn’t odd to have two or three “Best Friends”? The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was “cooties”? Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot? A foot of snow was a dream come true? Saturday morning cartoons weren’t 30-minute commercials for action figures? “Oly-oly-oxen-free” made perfect sense? Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles? The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team? War was a card game? Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle? Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin? Water balloons were the ultimate weapon? If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!!
