Your slowly death

I do not really understand the reason you have to be sarcastic against me but I will answer to you in the same way I did before.

it is your opinion that smoke does not do much harm.I think it does a lot of harm.I have to do many "dangerous things" every day because i have to and because i gain fun and i think they worth.

Im a quaker,I do not play rpgs Laughing (at least not anymore ;P )

You seem pretty sure you will not have alzheimer ..and you also seem sure you will not get old :roll:
Anyway.
I said there is no point in putting your life in more danger ...by this I mean that you put your life in a MEANINGLESS (total absolutely ) meaningless danger that as I said seems unworthy for me.

Here Follows An Example:
-Doing extreme sports are not meaningless to me cause people can enjoy this and if they do it under well organised circumenstances the risk of something bad reduces.
-Driving a motorbike without a helmet is something you can avoid because you put your life in danger and you do not enjoy something.
-Smoking is something that people can get addicted to and I think addiction is something bad in all its forms.People's opionion are different if it worth or not and they choose if they have to smoke or not (I already said my opinio)
-Taking drugs is also addicted.It is also extreme.It is also something that people enjoy (at least at first)....But it is really harmfull and you may condemn you life.

/end

What? Where did i say "i'm sure i will not have alzheimer and i won't be old"? No, only thing i am sure of is that i am going to die sooner or later, that's about it.

Nothing is meaningless if YOU put a meaning in it. I could say that every activity you engage in your entire life is meaningless, because in five hundred years, no one will even remember who you are. There will be no trace of you, except maybe some deep buried bones and descendants who won't even know who you were. However, i'm going to leave this part of the quote alone, just because you handed yourself your own ass in the line below Happy

Uh-huh. What's the point in, for example, bungee jumping? You only get an adrenaline rush, and you're risking a wheelchair, possible death. Skydiving? Same shit. Surfing? Rally? List just goes on. You see, same thing is with smoking, or taking drugs. You consciously take the risk, possibly trading your health for some good time. You can't define it, categorize it as simply as "this has meaning, and this has not". It's entirely subjective, depends on how one's brain percieves "fun activity". If you do something and enjoy it, that's when it get's a meaning. I enjoy my cigarettes, thus, it's putting a meaning in me actually smoking them.

It dosen't have to make sense TO YOU, because you're NOT ME. But you can't deny it, if i won't do things i enjoy, what does that leave me with? Yep, nothing. Dunno, maybe you do things differently? Maybe life for you is a matter of surviving the longest time possible, i don't know that. But i also don't give a shit, because i don't live to live very long, i live to have fun, to make people i care about happy, and to not have regrets that i didn't do something just because the general consensus is that it's "meaningless".

Ahh, addiction. You can get addicted to anything, on a psychical level. I know a guy who's addicted to rice. Cool

I really enjoy that first cigarette of the day, the one right after I wake up. Yeah.

Before I start writing, I'll just point out that I have my full respect to those who smoke, but this is just what I mean about it, no offence.

Maybe, maybe not - But there's still IS a risk there, right?
There's a risk for astma, cancer and that kind of shit.

I would rather have a long, healthy life than get a worse health by smoking.
And about getting old. What's so bad about that? Yes, of course it's funnier when you're young. If you train, your health when you get older is much better than if you will be smoking.

I ain't about to get philosophical on this shit. I do what i do, and i have tons of fun and quality time with a bunch of friends. I'm speeding up the moment of my death? Big deal. I could die any second for a thousand of reasons

I'm just wondering about this. If you have fun in your life with others, ain't it a big deal? I mean, reduce the risks you have a possibility to do if you really enjoy your life.

And remember, I don't write this to offence anybody, if you enjoy to smoke, I will not prevent anybody to do it.

regnir,you still do not get me Sleepy

How can I explain to you so you do understand me :roll:
Seems really difficult job Sleepy

First let me answer some parts of ur last reply.

Quote:

Yes i agree with that.the rest of what you said are a bit irrelevant but anyway.You put some meaning in smoking but I don't.I put negative meaning to this ;p .

Quote:

I do not understand this english expression,sorry.

About the examples.I gave 4 examples to see how different looks like the fun-addiction and importance.But whatever.About extreme sports like bungee jumping if you take care all the important issues before you jump you MAY not get hurt.right?(I mean there is smaller possibility from jumping careless).
I say again that smoking may be FUN to YOU and many million people whole over the world but it is just something that causes harm.FGS.

And to get over with it cause I am not in the mood on arguing anymore just let me tell you that I prefer smoke out of my life.I do not have problem with people who smoke in case you thought that and if you wish read my first posts.

Go make as many cigaretts as you want Winking .I can not understand why we keep on arguing .You will never change my mind and neither will i for you.
Please do not be so agressive.We are supposed to share our thoughts.

No, you're mixing conceptions. I don't agree with you. I understand your every word and the meaning of them perfectly fine, thank you very much.

Negative meaning is still a meaning. Make up your mind, lol.

It means you slipped and broke your argumentation.

But there still is a risk. You can minimize it, but something may still fuck up. And you can die. That's the whole point.

At least i know my poison. Winking

Nah. It still depends how many cigarettes you smoke. If you smoke three packs a day, then sure, that can't be healthy. But then again, nothing taken up to an extreme is healthy. Or sane, in some cases, haha. I smoke no more then two packs a week.

Wow, fantastic brainwave. So you just go into an argument with your opinions set in concrete, not thinking even for one second they could change? Nice. I also don't like people assuming things about me. My opinions are oftenly subject to change, if proper argumentation is being formed by someone who's trying to change it. You don't even come close, sorry. What you said can be botched down to the following sentence: smoking is a major health risk, as opposed to extreme sports, you don't understand what i'm saying (and i'm assuming that because you don't agree with me) kthxbye.

Sweet Happy

@Lakitu - i hate doing circles. Most of the stuff you wrote i already answered in my previous posts, read carefully. However, one thing -

Smoking cigarettes is a part of "having fun". Thought i made this very clear. About reducing risk... please read what i wrote about locking yourself up in a basement. Heh.
