Sure i do, but i'm not gonna let a bunch of boneheads who were stupid and tried it in the first place kill me by doing it. If you want to smoke in a bubble or in a sealed house where it cant get out great.
Until then quit whining about how hard it is to quit and smokers rights and the rest of the crap. And as the son of a family of smokers i think i know how it goes :). And i didnt say they should all die i said they should all keel over :P they could keel over from a bad lunch you just took it that way. Nobody said group x should die unless it was someone else and i missed it. Whiny ass smokers its so hard to quit, well did someone hold you down and make you try it. Yes i got pressured to try it too i'm sorry if you're not as strong willed as others. You made your bed you lay in it. I would be happy if they got rid of cigarettes and just made it an injection you know sorta like herion.

Non-smokers have no idea how difficult it is for smokers to stop, how strong that addiction can be.

I simply made a counter generalization to the generalization that all SUV owners were either yuppie business people or soccer moms, which is not the case. Just as my generalization, that all hybrid owners, are environmentalists, is not the case. However, I see it is ok for you to take anyone who uses an SUV for what you consider to be not an intended use and impose on them your will by raising their taxes and telling them they are destroying the environment. I am assuming you are referring to my calling environmentalists "wackos", when referring to demonizing them. Tell me Larry how would you charachterize someone who, throws acid on SUVs, violates people personal property by sticking bumper stickers on SUV that state, "i'm changing the climte", members of the ELF that burn down homes because they don't agree with where they are being built. Those types of behavior to me deserve the classification wacko, and I realize that not everyone who considers themselves and environmentalist acts this way. Whether I agree or disagree with someones view point has no bearing on whether or not I consider someone wacko. There are many people with on the far right that I consider wackos too. > > > > > > > > > > larry > > > > you're more of an extremist that I thought.

What is intended use and who determines intended use? I use my SUV to tow a camper and a boat, I also use it get groceries and I even strap the family Christmas tree on top sometime in November. Occasionally I use it to go off road in Michigan when I go home. I use it in the winter to get around in the snow. So what is the intended use of my SUV then? > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
