If today they come for the smoker, tomorrow they will come for you. If today they grab your cigarette, tomorrow they will seize your junk food, your carbohydrates, your yummy but "empty" calories. And don't think that your liquor is safe either; neo-Prohibitionism has been long on the march, what with "sin taxes" (revealing term, isn't it?), outlawing of advertising, higher drinking ages, and the neo-Puritan harpies of MADD. Are you ready for the Left Nutritional Kingdom, with everyone forced to confine his food to yogurt and tofu and bean sprouts? Are you ready to be confined in a cage, to make sure that your diet is perfect, and that you get the prescribed Compulsory Exercise? All to be governed by a Hillary Clinton National Health Board?
Fuck all of this tax talk shit, there are too many taxes as it is. Why on earth should a corporation that made it’s money giving people what they OBVIOUSLY wanted, be punished because that product is now deemed by society at large to be unhealthy? I eat junk foods and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with me. Why should I have to suffer with higher prices, or lack of junk foods entirely because Joe Bob doesn’t have enough self control to step away from the buffet bar? Because you *anyone in general* don’t like it? Fuck that. Do I think obese people are nasty? Damn skippy. Do I think they need their jaws wired shut? Double damn skippy. Do I really give to shitsnafuck if they die from it? Hmmmm is it going to cost me anything out of my pocket? …. No? then fuck no.
Smoke em if you got em, eat it if you want it, and when the moral police come around knocking on your door to make sure you are practicing normal sex, IE: No one is suspended above the bed, you don’t have more than 5 battery operated devices in the bedroom, and you don’t consider the refrigerator to be a special kinky place for Friday nights, be sure to bash their fucking heads in with that bible they like to toss up in your face, or perhaps a nice shiny piece of exercise equipment, whichever you prefer, just please be creative, since that is about the only thing they aren’t trying to steal from us yet. Remember, when it comes to murder you are really only in trouble for the 1st one, so make a list, hell make a LONG list, wait for just the right moment and when your giveafuck is completely wore out, let ‘er rip and swing away.

EDIT: This is NOT an attempt to derail MD's point, her opinion is her's and yes to an extent I do share it, but I do NOT support in any way whatsoever the whole "external intervention" thing. I was really mostly pissed when people started bringing up smokers. But then the "external intervention" shit creeped in and I just cant stand that.

Question authority, BEFORE it questions you.

SHit dude you took the rant right out of my mouth!!!!

I have a great idea, lets kill all the politcians, attorneys, scumbag corporate execs., Right and left wing wackjobs, christian evangelists,toll booth operators, IRS employees,stupid people, slow drivers, anyone driving a hybrid vehicle, my boss, anyone and everyone at Newsweek, Nazis, my parents and sister, that homeless guy with the sign saying "will work for food" and then wont, PETA, terrorists, that idiot that started the reality show craze, George Lucas for Jar Jar Binks, Episode II, and the Ewoks, my coworkers, fast food restaurant workers, the mailman, doctors, and anybody else that I can think of for no good reason.

Harm none do as ye will.

Worry about yourself for a change and stop trying to change everyone else.

see, its that kinda stupid shit right there that disgusts me as well. If you dont like it, DONT READ IT! Dont come off with this shit about, well its here, I might click it, etc etc etc. Strap on a set of testicular fortitude, suck in a big breath of air and realize that life doesnt always work out how you plan, and sometimes you see and hear things that you dont agree with, go to another thread, dont post in this one, dont read any further.... Is that really, honestly and truly that fucking hard to comprehend? Christ, has Horror.com turned itself into the fucking Joy Luck Club over this past year and a half or what?

i'll be the first to say that some threads are def. worth getting rid of .. not this one in particular but there are ones that make it look like an idiot shop ...

when guys start threatening each other with death and family massacres because someone didnt agree with their choice of a favorite band ...

that shit attracts goofs like flies to shit and repels potential good posters to the forum ..

differences of opinion .. some spicy dialogue .. no problem .. but some threads have been total crap and judging from the attitudes of some newcomers .. they think that the 'bad ass' rules the roost and they start polluting the forum and driving away (not scaring away) people who are tired of wading through neck high shit to find one decent thread.

i dont want the joy luck club .. but i dont want the 'Home for 14 Year Old Trolls' either ..

Urge, your avatar has been upsetting many people on this board, and some people have asked me to talk to you about it. You should really mellow your act down a little, it is not right to frighten children as you have so irresponsibly done with your creepy ghoulish avatar. In case you are unclear, the image below is the one of which I speak:
