I say keep it up. In fact I say raise the cigarette taxes even more. I say you're addicted to your cigarettes they're addicted to YOUR money...which one is the fool?
I don't care if you quit or not. You can do it 'till you cough and gag yourself blue, just do it like civilized people with respect for others do with other repulsive things...do it elsewhere.
That's a joke if not outright lie. The truth is you can't tell the truth. The truth is, cigarette taxes YOU pay advance liberalism/socialism and line the pockets of lawyers more than any other tax imposed on us...and worse yet it's strictly voluntary.
The truth is you have to lie about "CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STATE ECONOMY " because if the truth was told you'd expose yourselves as the fools you are....so puff away on those fags, liberals and lawyers love your stupidity.
Your brain dead, you know it? They aren't GETTING my money! HELLO!!!!!!!!
We roll our own and get a carton for under $8.00! We are not paying into the state coffers anymore, get it? Our tobacco comes from overseas, so even Big Tobacco here in the STATES isn't reaping any of our money.
You sure are one nasty stupid chit. Thank God I will never have to meet the likes of you. You disgust me...........
You know what? I bet your not "addicted" as you put it to ANYTHING. I bet your one boring little nerd in real life that gets beat up on all the time. Because if you spewed your views in real life that you do in here, you would be in the HOSPITAL!!!! Why don't you get a life and stop bashing people who choose to smoke!
Actually, KHEPERA ROLLS HER OWN as well!
Nothing like being famous.
hehe! That's pretty neat!!
The truth is, you wouldn't know the truth if it came up and hit you over the head.
The truth is that the states can't practice fiscal responsibility and have been/are taxing themselves right out of any money that IS now being made from the sales of cigarettes.
If it's true that the taxes we pay are advancing liberalism and socialism then the taxes YOU pay are doing the same thing.
The truth is you have to lie about "CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STATE ECONOMY " because if the truth was told you'd expose yourselves as the fools you are....so puff away on those fags, liberals and lawyers love your stupidity.
I'll thank you to spray no more ad hom attacks or I WILL use the abuse button.
You call names when none are called for and if you want to debate and have a rational discourse you are welcome to do that.
If you want to call names and say things that you cannot back up, then expect the abuse button to be used.
I gotta do something to improve my image.
There hows that?
At least you aren't a s/he. ;^)
I HATE to be mean, but he puts me in mind of a skinny little nerd. You know this type.
And isn't it great that he can be such a BIG MAN behind his monitor. Must make him feel REALLY good!
OH CHIT HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOO SORRY!!!!!!!!!
You make a LOT better MAN then you do a GIRL!!!!
