nice sait

Does this have anything to do with debt consolidation or settlement? This is a site for people to discuss debt.........

Agree...not the place for a history lesson on Lucky Strike.

Well I guess the only thing we can be thankful for is that they put this in the pub and not under one of the other topics to discuss.....

No Leah it wasn't in the pub, it was in debt consolidation and settlement. One of the mods must have moved it here :)

Oh well then silly me! I was just trying to think positivly

Yea,us mods are forever moving topics and taking out the trash! :x :lol:

You poor guys! A mods job is never done huh? :)

This might be a spam attempt, but I find the post interesting, giving the background of the cigarette company.

Leah,give you something to think about when they start looking for more mods! :shock: :lol:

LOL hey I love a challenge...cant you all tell!

Make me the oddball here, but I agree with Orake. It WAS an interesting post. If it was a spam attempt, it definitely wasn't offensive. If it was put in the wrong place, oh well, easily moved.

It is just to bring attention to smokers' rights and how we are slowly but surely losing freedoms here and there. Start with the small stuff, let them add up, and when they start taking the biggies away, maybe we won't notice. Oooooops. I'm getting political.

I am not a smoker, Steelers, but I agree that you have no rights. I think it's horrid to potentially lose a job you've had for 20 yrs because you smoke. Hell, even I have been known to smoke one or two while in a bar. It's never affected my running, how could it affect anyone's job? Yes, I know the long-term affects; My Dad died of lung cancer 2 years ago. But it's each persons right to decide what they want to do.

Lol, you got me going Steelers!

The truth be told about cigarettes. No lie, just the facts. The cigarette was derived from the cigar, it was developed for the female, hence the name cigar-ette. Ette being the feminine portion of the word. So, the tobacco manufacturers actually created the cigarette for women.

Well, you better not come to OH and smoke in a bar! It is illegal. I even know a lady who got a ticket for smoking in HER car with her teenage son in it!!!!!!!! Yes, even that is illegal here, and you're technically not even allowed to smoke in your own damn freaking house that you pay the damn freaking mortgage on!!!!!!!!! OMG! HERE I GO!!!!

Hmmmmm...Maybe this is off topic, but here's something I know about. Football history.

Ladanian Tomlinson broke a record this past year...Most points scored by a running back. He had broken the record previously held by Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers, 1958-1966. The thing is, though..LT took 16 games to break a record that Hornung, the Golden Boy, set in just 12. PLUS- Hornung kicked all of his extra points, and LT is getting credit for points he really didn't score. Sooooo...Mr. Hornung still holds the record.

Steelers, I am seriously working on that NFL history book now. It will be called "take it like a man"

What nationality is Ladanian? I will assist in scheduling all of your book tours Finsfan, is that ok?

I don't know what nationality he is, he's an absolutely adorable African American man. Hell of a person, too, and a terrific running back. He just didn't set the record.

I want you to be my publiscist.

Orake, that's interesting. Amazing how people prioritized during the war.

That is so freaking awesome! Thank you, nobody's EVER asked me to be their publicist! I am going to do it! Geeesh! Thanks, thanks, thanks, and again, did I say thanks? Well I mean it, thanks! I think I will call this man of Lithuanian Desent.

You're the person I trust the most Steelers, I know I can count on you to do it right. Plus, I know that between the two of us we will only weigh about 215 pounds, but we are TOUGH!

Ummmm, I lost 2 pounds. You didn't notice?

I did, but I didn't want to say anything.

You cant smoke in your house in OH???? What the heck??? I knew about the bars and with the kids in the car but my own freaking house???

Nope, not if there are children living there. I just found out that you can't if there are minors in the car. I don't get it, you can't smoke in a bar, but you can drink and go get behind the wheel of a car after drinking in a bar, but GOD forbid you should light up in a bar.

Yeah thats messed up. Not that I mind I dont allow smoking inside the house since i have been pregnant but its still dumb TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION THERE

It is nobody's business. I could put some more stuff out here that would really scare the crap out of people. And they aren't conspiracy theories, they are what is coming, but I won't. I do not like the Harper Valley PTA mother's of America telling me what I should or should not be doing, I do a hell of alot more than they do, pay a hell of alot more taxes than they do, but yet it is a certain group of people who feel they know what is best for everyone else. I need to stop, or else I will go on and on.....And please, all of you PTA people, I don't really care to hear it, when you raise 2 severly disabled children on your own, put yourself through college, pay for a house and everything else on your own, then I will be all ears to your comments.

What is this country coming too???

Isn't it odd - here in Cleveland - you cannot smoke anywhere, but the taxes that have been placed on smokers have built a sports stadium and now have been raised again to support the arts! The places that we smokers are not allowed to smoke in are the places that we are supporting! And another thing - I would like to quit smoking, but the meds that the doctor prescribed for me are not covered by my health insurance they are considered non essential! The insurance company would rather treat lung cancer thatn the less expensive smoking sessation meds! No I will get off my soap box - thank you very much!

OK I am weighing in on this one.. I think that the government needs to get their nose out of my house and car.. I kind of understand the restaurant and bar thing.. BUT I buy a piece of land with my money and I build a restaurant with my money and I put up a sign saying smoking allowed.. then a non smoker has the right not to step on MY property..
K off the soap box.. Just hate that my home has become the governments business???????

Unfortunately, I think that this has been coming for a long time. Its not just one party but both parties(too many ideas amongst the two) I think that America is going to be one bad bad place to live in the next couple of decades!

Don't usually get into politcal stuff, but the country is getting to where you can't even go to the bathroom without the goverment telling you what type of toilet paper to use and how much!

We have people in goverment telling us how to raise our kids and what they need to learn in school, etc. Most kids now a days have no respect for adults and are not afraid of their parents because they cannot be yelled at or spanked...everything is time out. I grew up having my butt spanked many times and I tell you what, I have more respect for my parents then kids do today. When my mom or dad, especially my dad, said jump, I asked how high. I had responsibility and was required to help when asked. A lot of kids today have things handed to them and do not know the value of things and to be honest, I don't think they are really prepared to go out into the world. Kids are graduting school without knowing how to read or write well or do simple math. But the government says the schools have to teach tons of other things besides making sure these kids can read and write and do math.

I just feel the government is trying to contral every aspect of our lives.

Done now....sorry, some things I can get fired up about and have to stop myself.
