<strong>This-or-that cigarette company actually argued for liberal laws towards cigarettes in this-or-that east european country by pointing out that people who smoked didn´t live as long as non-smokers and the government could save a lot of money for health care if a larger part of the population smoked.

Yeah, I remember hearing that. I thought it was in Denmark that they argued that. But I guess not. Sweden, maybe?

I'm not doubting you, but attempted murder? would that even hold up in court? I thought that murder had to be someone else. But then again, I've never looked into it, I just made this assumption based on that fact that there are 2 words in the english languarge: murder and suicide. huh.
I was in a really bad mood coming home today, and it was made worse because I kept seeing all these gay people! I mean, i have no problem with being gay, but please just do it in the privacy of your own home! I hate it when people are so happy in public...
But you can be institutionalized. And the police can put you in custody to "protect" you. And most life insurance companies aren't going to shell out any money if you kill yourself either.
They can't do any of that if you successfully commit suicide. Merely attempted suicide carries the consiquences.
The most disgusting thing about fags is when you see some one pick up an old butt, light their fire, and then start sucking it. Its just nasty. I mainly see this with old bums who cant get fresh fags, but Ive als oseen it with people trying to quit.
(hmm... perhaps Ive gone a step too far with this one...)
Also, I live in Vancouver, here you NEVER EVER say "can I bum a fag?".

<strong>No no no you guys don't get the point

It's amazing how many people are unsuccessful with their suicide attempts.
<strong>Cause most people are quiters!</strong><hr></blockquote>
No they are attention seekers. Most don't really want to die, they just want the sympathy.
J :cool:
