Excellent work!

I doubt he'll be back, though.

Too busy lecturing posters on other threads for their failure to meet his lofty standards.

I was struck by the same thought.

Because I don't think there's any moral component to smoking at all.

"I see justacreature has opened mouth and inserted foot again. Heaven knows I have seen him all over FR today, and his bigotry knows no bounds."

I didn't know giving one's subjective opinion regarding general personality profiles of smokers was "bigotry."

I'd better review the Free Republic guidelines and protocol again...

If cheating was equated with lying, perhaps more parents would find cheating more harmful than smoking. Cheating is lying, about your abilities. Smoking is an indulgence in a habit. I don't know how it can be equated with being morally right or wrong.

They never will have the upper hand, the morons.

I've lost my patience - wait, I never had any....

Oh Hank, please don't include me with that creature, I agree with you.

Very sorry if you thought I included you as a recipient of the message. I only copied you because I thought you might be interested.

I certainly do not think you are one of "those creatures."

Hank

Another member of The Lonely Hearts Club chimes in.

Justacreature, the subject Prager writes about is teaching kids it's more "immoral" to smoke than to cheat on a test.

You are welcome to join FR, but when you post replies PLEASE try to follow the subject line and make your comments accordingly.

BTW, I neither smoke nor drink nor cheat. Does that make me "better" than you?

Nope, but I think a whole bunch of other things do!
Oh, "reason" and "logic" and "character" come to mind...

I don't know about justacreature, but it makes you better than me, and I'm pretty good. You may be almost as good as my wife, although I doubt it.
