Public Health: Banning flavored cigarettes

Obama just passed a law which bans various flavored cigarettes, including cloves. Lemme tell ya, people arent too happy about it. The intention is clear, to make cigarettes less attractive to teens.

But that's where the real controversy comes in: Quite frankly, I dont know of one single teen, in my entire life, who has ever smoked a flavored cigarette (minus menthol, as that's more considered a "variant"). This is how this works: teens pick up "adult" habits by imitating adults. Most adults I know have no taste in anything Fine at all, so they'll smoke their crappy Marlboro Lights, or the ghetto kids will (purely out of obligation because it's the ghetto thing to do) smoke Newports. So guess what the top kinds among teens are? You guessed it! Whatever the young adults around them are smoking also.

Now me, I smoke pipe tobacco, cigarettes are too cheap and "smoky" for me, not enough fine quality. I enjoy rum-flavored cavendish pipe tobacco, it's the nicest thing I've ever inhaled. Lemme tell ya, if this ban affects my smoke, as a result of some stupid perceived "wrong" which honestly isnt even going on, then I will be pissed. In fact, I'll prob'ly hand out cigarettes to kids myself, just to act as a huge middle finger to those who believe that crap.

This topic brings up two other topics: Smoker discrimination, and Democrats' "parent" laws.

We've got enough discrimination issues in this country as it is, black segregation, women's vote, gay marriage, racism, reversed racism, christian domination, and all that crap... the last thing we need is discrimination against smokers, especially from the very end of the political spectrum who claims to be against discrimination! I dont EVEN wanna hear an "equal rights" person telling me that I'm a "polluter" or whatever term they use, and try to segregate me in public places. Get the fuck outta here. FYI, I've been cutting back for my health, as it makes no sense for me to be on this work-out and dietary health kick that I've been on, if I dont have strong enough lungs to be able to run for 5 minutes. So I'm doing that on my own thank you. 

Which brings me to my next point: "Parent" laws. I dont need laws which forbid me, or anyone else, from doing self-destructive things because it's "for my own good." Yes, it is indeed foolish to smoke, drink, watch violent tv, all that dumb shit, but hey, if I want to, guess whose choice it is? Think about your "pro-choice" analogy here...

Black Community: If Dr King were alive today...

Surprisingly, my first real post on here will be a short one. But hey, that's how it goes. 

I just watched a rerun episode of The Boondocks on Adult Swim, the episode was about a "What If" alternate reality where Dr King got shot, but instead of dying, he fell into a coma for 30 years, and awoke in the modern day; and quite frankly, he didnt like what he saw in the black community. Clearly disappointed with the degenerate behavior which he observed among the modern black community, his final Swan Song of a speech simply consisted of an angered vocal disappointment, concluded with him announcing that he gives up and is moving to Canada.

Oh how I couldnt agree more. Whether it's vocalized or not, the racist portion of the white community recognizes this too, how blacks once went from noble crusaders, to now degrading themselves with their self-defeating behavior. Naturally, they fail to see the fact that different generations, people, and times are being compared, but "you are your deeds." Addressing this directly to any blacks who may read this: whether any of us like it or not, everything you do, makes you a representative of all black people. Of course it shouldnt be that way, but that's just how it is. If anything, view that as positive motivation for you to ALWAYS do the best for yourself.

The Rules

Greetings. In this blog, I will post various controversial topics, along with my unique perspectives on them, open for discussion by intelligent, non-binary folks. To avoid repeatedly repeating myself on a repeated basis, I'm going to post a few of my "rules."

1. All groups of people have a stereotypical majority, as well as a more individualistic minority; therefore, whenever I refer to a group, I mean the group in general, not "absolutely all members of this group, with no exceptions," so I dont wanna hear your "Not ALL people in this group are like that!" crap.

2. I learn what I know by observation, therefore anything I post, I post as having observed it, not as having "read it somewhere on the internet," "watched too much tv," or whatever excuse you come up with.

3. Realize that in general, I'm Left-leaning, but I'm not a binary one-or-the-other extremist, nor do I adhere to obeying what I'm supposed to support according to "we support this cause" or whatever. Quite frankly, I dont adhere to much of anything that society expects of me. I have my own rules of conduct.

4. I dont like "meat-eaters are evil, violence is wrong, guns kill people, I listen to outdated music from the 60's" extremists, but I really fucking hate "you're going to hell because you dont conform to my religion, I will outcast you from society because you dont wear golf shirts and khaki slacks, and my only activities consist of golfing, the newspaper, and griping about how minorities are ruining everything" conservative shit heads. If you're either, then you will regularly become angry with my writings.

5. Absolutely all things are open to discussion, however, I expect you to keep your posts intelligent, non-binary, non-extremist, and ultimately, non-typical. If you've got a chip on your shoulder or a point to prove, then take it to your "us only" site which I know you're already a member of and tell THEM all about it. I dont wanna hear it.
