That’s the one thing that really bothers me about smokers. I couldn’t care less about them killing themselves, but the littering of cigarette butts everywhere is really lame.

Should I interpret this as meaning that only English speakers are flicking their butts in the sand?

That’s the one thing that really bothers me about non-smokers. Some of them have this notion of being somehow above and enlightened in comparison to smokers and grabbing every oppurtunity to project this perceived supremacy upon those who smoke (I’m referring to this “I couldn’t care less about them killing themselves” rhetoric which bothers me even though (perhaps especially because) not being a nicotine addict I nevertheless enjoy tobacco in various forms recreationally. As do lots of people.)

that was an anti-littering statement, not an anti people who smoke statement. It’s not like i go up to smokers and tell them to stop or anything, people like that bother me as well. That’s like going up to a fat person and knocking the ice cream cone out of their hands because its bad for them. I don’t care if they are fat, and i don’t care if your lungs are black. I never said i was more enlightened or better than anyone, i just hate seeing cigarette butts all over the ground. enjoy your recreational tobacco, but just don’t litter when you’re done.

pld… please go get your tobacco fix.
There’s a saying I like… If you throw a stick at a pack of dogs, the only one that yelps is the one you hit.
I think I know who you hit sam.

Hey Aleki, tobacco aside, I think I got my daily fix of narrow-mindendness. Thanks.
