I actually thought about this — it’s not a bad idea at all when you look at the numbers behind some of the products on the shelves.

I wrote about this in a recent blog of mine:

If they don’t like cigarettes why do they allow them to be sold? Good thing they take advantage of the poor addicted people by taxing the shit out of them. That way they will know they are wasting their money and won’t buy them anymore. They could easily eliminate all use by raising the required age each year, but they make way to much money off them for that.

And if they believe in freedom of choice like they say, why can’t American kids buy cigs? Make their own life choices like the government promised them.

The government is contradictory every step of the way, and only when it’s own interests are at stake. It’s interests claim to be for the people but that’s just not always true. (I don’t smoke, nor do i fight or support it. I do not like Obama, I do not like Macain, I am not labeling myself as a democrat or a republican.

Support the people!

What ever happened to the constitution? Bring back Strict interpretation please.

Hey, just heard you responded. The issue was if a certain word previously mentioned is entered it is held. Personally I don’t drink much of that, tastes like chemical. And, I agree no government conspiracy, why would they care? Just wondering why your blocking political words in a political thread. So I guess my question of why still stands, it’s not about how long but why selective blocking. Wasn’t like I said anything foul or off color.
