frumnotyeshivish -“(As an aside, and for like the fourth time we’ve been in such a dialogue, I DON’T SMOKE.)”
Ok, so you don’t smoke – so why are you constantly defending smokers? Does your wife, parents or other relatives smoke?
“Brainwashed or not, I must address one thing you’re saying:
1. Why do you think I control and manipulate others?
2. Even if I do (I try not to btw), why is it hypocritical? Doing what you hate done to yourself to others is wrong, but not inherently dishonest.”
Listen, the subject of smoking is a tangent -your hypocrisy is a tangent on a tangent -so I’m not going to get into it with you.
But I’ll tell you, the world, not just me, considers “Do as I say, not as I do”, as hypocrisy.
You still haven’t answered any of my points. From above:
“”That may have once been true. Nowadays, the anti-tobacco people rule the world from the shadows.”
Really how so?
“If you don’t believe me, just see how they already got so many here (especially “Health,” he’s way gone).”
You mean because I voice my opinion against smoking?
Funny, if there was a shred of truth in what you are saying then thousands of youth wouldn’t start smoking every year.”
Why do you insist that I’ve been brainwashed?
