The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 well in two of the cases yes, but in the other it was the wife who was smoking and the husband dumped her because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 figures. You know a lot of women would be forced to give up smoking if they're going to have birth, that can be one major way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 true, but then again sometimes they dont really care about the much even though that just depends on the type of person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 and why would they want to poison their own child before his/her life even began? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 because they dont really care whats going to happen as long as it doesnt happen to them. thats also one of the basic principles most people follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 because they dont really care whats going to happen as long as it doesnt happen to them. thats also one of the basic principles most people follow. perhaps, but I don't see human nature of not having the slightest bit of sympathy. Yes I know during extreme situations, everyone only cares about saving themselves, but this is slightly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 true, but not everyone cares about saving themselves (this includes me). also not everyperson has sympathy. I wonder how many people show sympathy to themselves more than to others. Its strange that many people dont care about the others around them.

The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 yes, but even good hearts have a bad side. I know this for a fact because it also describes me in a sort of way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Obviously no one is without a dark side, but still. We have to be pushed the the limits before we stop caring about everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 actually it depends on the person's personality and how they were raised. me, I was rased on how people wanted me to be but I actually make them think that. I am a math genius because I want to be and also because it runs in the family. I choose to hate everything but also feel sorry and happy for everything around me because some get off easy and others get of hard. me, I get off on the hard zone and so does my mom. I'm surprised she hant started drinking or smoking yet since everyone wanted her to be like her older brother, straight A's and B's. if she got a C everyone asked her why wasnt she like her borhter. but of course nobody is perfect and nobody has to do what others say unless its the rules/law.

ragnarok1945 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 a lot of my friends had the same case with their parents if one of them smokes, always with the "why can't you be more like me" speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 yes, my uncle that lives with my grandma says something close to the same: "Quit smoking in the house it makes my clothes smell and its disgusting to smell smoke when I'm eating" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 yeah well for some people that's why they have to hide it very well. Some may quit because it's too much a burden to hide it all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire Wolf Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Alot of people in my family who smoke have been cuitting down.But getting rid of it would be a problem, Getting people to stop after they have been smoking when there was no warnings is a bigger problem, Its not just a snap of the fingers, It could take up to a year or more to get off smoking, Unless you get help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
