Yay! I hate personal responsibility! Who would know that smoking is dangerous?


Anyone that is for the decriminalization of MJ, but agrees with suing the makers of things that we know are harmful, deserves to have voting privelages revoked.

Would you like to help me in my lawsuit against Dairy Queen. I dropped Ice Cream in my lap there was no warning label about it being cold and causing frost bite.

If Diet Coke was found to be an extreme carcinogen would you be opposed to lawsuits against Coca-Cola?

Down the road we may find out diet sodas were bad with the use of Aspertame or other things.

In which case you would be supportive or non-supportive of lawsuits against those companies that sold and marketed them?

Did Coke know? If so, when did they find out and did they put warnings on the bottles when they found out?

Is it the Diet Coke or a specific ingredient?

Will Coke sue the ingredient mfr?

Will the resulting bankruptcies mean that no one will get any money anyway?

Alcohol is bad for you, but the state sells it to you, then arrests you if use it in public, or have too much and drive.

did you just compare a natural substance to a product whose manufacturer added dangerous chemicals to in an attempt to make them addictive as possible while advertising them as harmless?

really....since when were cigarettes advertised as "harmless"?



labels on cigarettes:

* Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health (1966-1970)
* Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health (1970-1985)
* SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy. (1985-)
* SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health. (1985-)
* SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight. (1985-)
* SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide. (1985-)

If I was a big tobacco company such as Phillip Morris.....I would pay people like this woman $1 a year.

Well, how about no one told you that the ice cream would cause you to gain massive amount of weight and raising your cholesterol level building up plaq on your artery walls causing heart attacks and eventually a 4 way bypass.


Next time your at McD's or Sleazeking ask for the 4 way bypass burger.
