rehmwa 2 #51 July 3, 2013 Darius11 Right man, I rather have a parent blow a few cigarettes in to their daughters face then have them go through that shit. "a few cigarettes" how about, multiple times a day, every day, for 20 years. trapped in a car with windows up in the house on trips every moment clothes filthy from smoke hair filthy from smoke furniture smelling of it asthma allergies coughing worse performance in sports (taught worse health and fitness habits) (taught disregard for others) I'm 47 years old, hospitalized at age 5 for asthma - treatment started about 15 years ago - my asthma is 'almost' gone - or minimized, but fully controlled now - after 10 years of treatment - large lung passages improved from 70% capacity to 75% capacity - small passages damaged worse, but slight improvement. Once I got out of the house, it was immensely better, but permanant damage still happened. and still - I agree. Pageants is even worse than that ...

grue 1 #53 July 3, 2013 BillyVance ****** 8. Attn: Smokers – STOP. FUCKING. LITTERING. YOU. GOD. DAMNED. TWATWAFFLES. This - a million times this. I think there is a blind spot where smokers think a cigarette end is not litter. Even if there is a trash can 3 feet away. ETA. I like the word Twatwaffle. Yep, and fuck those assholes who flick the butts out the window when driving. And especially FUCK that shithead who flicked one out at night and it exploded in a shower of sparks off my windshield. Took one to the visor on the bike once. While I feel my reaction was perhaps somewhat over the top, I expect he won't be likely to forget it.cavete terrae. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Followed him until the next light, swung around him and stopped the bike in front of him, got off, and informed him (he was in a convertible so I didn't have to get him to roll down his window) that throwing burning objects out of a car is not only stupid but dangerous, and if I didn't see some immediate regret I would burn him down with the fuel from his own car.

I don't recall the exact wording because it was several years ago, but it was something along those lines. Good job. Anybody notice that vehicles aren't equipped with built-in ashtrays anymore? When the fuck did that happen? I know it's simpler and cleaner for the vehicles for people to just flick it out of the car, not to mention that awful smell of the filter burning when the butt is being mashed out. I get that smokers need some personal freedom to smoke, just as long as they don't endanger anyone else's health, but littering with those butts are just as bad as throwing trash out the window. Those butts don't degrade for years and years.
