Slightly related to current topic:

Suppose somebody asked for your car keys so that they could get inside and use that cigarette lighter thing (I actually don't even have it, but she wouldn't believe me). Suppose also that you are not a smoker, and don't support smoking.
Would it be acceptable to refuse them?

I said no, and suggested she get a glass of water instead, but I don't know...

uh was she hot?
If yes, then your an asshole and a fag for not letting her use the cig. lighter you don't have.

If no, then you did the right thing.

But seriously......if you have something you can offer and it doesn't impact you in any way....then your an asshole if you don't help them out. Who are you to judge someone for what they do?

That's the part that concerned me. It didn't really affect me in any way, and it's not as though I were helping her. Was I?
Not that I could have helped with the lighter bit at all.

Thanks.

A glass of water? lol, as an alternative to smoking? Or as an alternative to a lighter..

I think you did the right thing for the falowing reasons;

1. you where thinking of her long term well being not her short term, witch in my option is better then just helping in the short term esptaly when that help realy only hurts in the long.

2. Helping her whould hurt you if she smoked close to you, and it whould hurt others if she smoked close to them, thos hurting more then one person who did not ask for it.

3. By stoping one person from smoking even in the short term, it make it seem like smoking is less acpetable in socity witch will be help many futtuer generations as well as our helath care system.

4. Just b/c you can do somthing for some one with litte cost to you and they ask u to does not make it right to do so. For example if they asked u to give them a gun so they could kill them slevels or some one eltes. This whould defatly not be helpfull........

And you would know this from experience...?

octopi · **Posted:** Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:17 am

Ya, never be a bartender then, someone who drinks a drink you serve might become an alcoholic.

might as well add in....never buy a drink for a lady, your killing her too.

just wondering...
Would you guys have a problem with the girl wanting to use the lit cig. to say perhaps burn a leech off of herself?

Martin · **Posted:** Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:32 am

Smoking's really not that bad. Just stay in shape and you can get away with doing whatever you want to yourself.

In any case, our health care system relies on smokers. Let them smoke as much as they want.

ROFL, i am shure the cigrent companys whould love peoleop bliveing that line. I am sorry to infrom you there martin but staying in shape is not going to save you from lung canser. And you are forgeting the peoleop you hurt around you with 2nd hand smoke.

As for octopi, it auctaly is agested the law in most places to server peoleop drinks when you know they are comeply wasted and if you do you becom resoable for what they do while drunk. 2ndly a drink does not do as much damage as a cirgret to your body unless you are binge drinking but in the same kind of case if u when nuts with cirgrests at the same level you whould probly hurt your self just as bad or worse.

The leach example makes not sceen whats so ever tho, b/c i was talking about things that hurt in the long therm and only give litte happyness in the short. Leting them remvoe the leach helps both in the long and short. (unless of corse you blive that leachs can heal like in the old days =p).

Also smoking does not just hurt the one person but 2nd hand smoke hurts the ones around them......

I binge drink almost every weekend, smoke occasionally, and yet I'm in better shape than most people that I know.

Yeah, smoking's bad for you, but exercise will definately lessen the effects. Cancer's not the only bad thing that comes from smoking.
