This country is fucked: $300 mil for smoking against Philip Morris



This will be headlines if it doesn't get overturned in the appeals process. Until then who cares?

To all you people bragging about how you quit, fuck you. Nobody likes a quitter.

It's ok, I was the same way when I smoked.

Been about 3 years since I had one, and haven't even thought about them or wanted one for about 2 years 9 months. It passes.
 
There should be a cap on lawsuits and how many attorneys are around. But I guess since they make the rules thats never going to happen. We are definitely sinking to a low with these type of ridiculous kind of lawsuits more and more pointing us to a sue me state sad really sad for this country. Run by attorneys. You can sue anyone for any reason just fucking retarded.
 
Good job on all the quiters out there...

I smoked cigs for about 3 years 1/2 pack to a pack a day....

It's been about 4 months and FUCK CIGARETTES....
I don't even have cravings anymore. I replaced smoking cigs with jogging. Best decision I have ever made.


I say anyone who doesn't quit smoking cigs is a FUCKING PUSSY easily manipulated by the media and others.


I do smoke weed tho!!! Yay for cannabis!
 
I'm a casual smoker -- bumming cigs off people at the casino ... and I smoked abit while I was in Asia and never got addicted.

My old man smoked 1 pack a day while he was in Asia for vacation, he came back and never smoked again
 
We should replace cigarette with fucking. I am addicted to sex.

Anyway, if she got 300 million, what happen to all the other smokers?

Responsibility is a choice. You choose whatever you want to be responsible for. It doesn't make sense to choose to be responsible for smoking if you can make 300 million for shifting that responsibility somewhere else.

To be responsible for rapping, stealing, robbing, murdering, means choosing not to be responsible for something even more important, like not getting caught, or not getting $300 million.

Everything is part of the game folks. In a sense, it's the rest of us that's not responsible for being responsible.
 
I once asked an NLP expert. A thief that steal my money do not responsibly return my property. Yet he's doing fine.

The NLP expert told me, the thief is responsible. He is responsible for not being caught.

Then I realized. I was the one being irresponsible. I didn't even bother locking my door and expect society to handle my security issue even though societies have little intensive to do so. When I learn that I posted millions of thieves conviction records on the net. I have to be responsible. If I don't want my stuff stolen, I have to hit back as hard as I could.

That gives me a whole new meaning on the world responsibility.

Ever heard people committing rape and blaming porn? He IS responsible. He is responsible to redirect blame and hence can get the cake and eat it too. We are the one that's irresponsible for simply blaming those people as wrong and not doing anything else besides blaming.

Libertarian do not want to have power over others. They don't like politic saying it's evil. Though I have sympathy to them, to me, that's as irresponsible as commies not wanting to get rich. If the way the world work is eat or be eaten, it's to your benefit to choose to responsibly eat as much as possible. Even though you're not interested in politic doesn't mean that politic isn't interested in you, as some guy said.

Now, talk about that asshole that sue for 300 million. If I were the cigarette company, I would ruin his families' life to 9 generations to ensure no more lawsuits against my company. That would be the most responsible thing to do. We are responsible to do whatever it takes to maximize our profit.
