Or knifes you cuz he thinks you looked at him funny. Gets loud and obnoxious, yelling at a kid in front of him, grabs your wifes rear end, gets KOd and doesn;'t remember why, loses his job because he blew over .08, kills a guy in a fight over the definition of a tariff and has 2 years in the clink to think about it........... It reduces your decision making ability, and anyone who says otherwise is probably on the "sauce"............ but smoking is way worse. Smoking stinks, hard on the lungs and the health care system, expensive........ but you can still make sound decisions. That's why is said that Gary's comment was one of the dumbest ones I've read in a long time........must've been under the influence......lol Last edited by Shakeyjake; 05/27/26 11:58 AM.

You follow the recommendations and science of today’s doctors & CDC. When I was a kid, everyone smoked everywhere, most of you are too young to remember that eh?…….lol Yep. Even had smoking commercials on tv back in the day.

SNIPERBBB trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Rodney,Ohio	Originally Posted by GREENCOUNTYPETE Originally Posted by bic I know smoking isnt healthy and therefore frowned upon. I get that. About 480k people in the USA die from smoke related causes annually. But somehow, it's culturally acceptable to be overweight. Fat shaming people is considered insensitive but over 300k people in the USA die annually from complications of being overweight. So I ask, Why aren't overweight people shunned the same as smokers? because your number is low more like 110 million people are over weight while I haven't ever quit smoking , losing weight isn't easy and you have to eat food , you just have to figure out how much is the right amount. things are made to be cheap and taste good , cheep stuff is generally heavy on carb calories , good for you stuff like meat and veg are the highest priced foods. the cigarette manufacturers got out of smokes and into food big time in the 80s and 90s , they have since sold but they applied the same marketing to foods and engineered them to be addictive as well. Kraft, Oscar Meier , coolaid , jello , ritz ,chips a hoy , Oreo to name a few Kraft, Oscar, Kool-aid, jell-o are the same company under Kraft-Heinz(also ore-ida, lunchables, miracle whip,velveeta)

I’m working for a few days up in central Manitoba. I just met a lineman who works for Rok Powerline way up here in Ashern Manitoba. He’s back home up here, waiting to get sent to another project. They got kicked off their contract in Texas for 3 safety incidents within 10 days. They were working right close to the Mexican border somewhere. The contractor that I’m supervising locked his keys in the service truck. This young lineman filling in as a tow truck driver came and popped the door for us…..lol Wind Blew, crap flew, out came the line crew
