Just when you think you have life figured out, you get older and find that you know squat about life.

You learn that not everyone equates the same values to words or actions. Some find it ok to cheat, if it’s only oral, while others deem it just as bad as full on sex.

When people tell you they are going to do something and then don’t, it’s not a big deal to them as it wasn’t written in blood or some such shit.
For me, if you tell me you’re going to do something-Do It!
Not doing so is akin if not just flat out lying.
If it’s something very important that could affect the rest of your life and theirs and yet there’s still no follow-through with action.

Past experience of the crap that can happen when things are left to slide, doesn’t seem to be a deterrent either.
Nor is the constant worry about it, by the people that were told it’d get done, a concern.
Doesn’t seem to matter at all.

It’s just avoided, but when brought up in conversation it’s as if you were asking them to do something bad or illegal, or it’s as if you and you alone ruined their day or weekend. If the past is going to repeat itself with things a person can not do anything about, that’s one thing. But if things are let go again- Who’s responsible for that?

If action is actually taken, I’ll eat a bit of crow.

Note: Action was taken a day later than what was said.

According to a new report done by researchers (and probably financially backed by some anti-smoking group) White kids who watch R-rated movies or TV shows that “promote” someone smoking, makes them more likely to smoke.
“Researchers found that white adolescents with the most exposure to R-rated movies were nearly seven times more likely to have started smoking compared to those with less exposure.” The report was based on interviews with 735 children age 12 to 14, about equally divided between black and white and was published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.

(Exposure? Are smokers now some strain of virus that’ll lead to a Smoking Pandemic?)

It sounds like a huge crock of shit to me.
For starters, there were less than 800 kids in that study, which is not a lot to base an argument or statistics of cause and effect on.
It’s also most likely a under-handed push by those lobbying to get anything that shows smoking an “R-rating”.
It’s interesting how this study neglected to mention that kids today say the anti-smoking ads also make them want to smoke, rather than not smoke. Which is what those anti-smoking advocates push those ads up our asses for. So should those also get an “R-rating”, too??

This report also mentions that,
“Today’s movies depict actors smoking as often as in the 1950s.”-
Let’s say that’s correct, for arguments sake. Now tell me, where are the smoking questions for those that grew up in that era ?
Shouldn’t the report have included that segment of the population too? It would and should have if it wasn’t just trying to slant the results.
I’m betting people who were kids in that era Knew better and had more common sense as well as respect for their parents and elders.
There used to be things you just didn’t do, people you didn’t sass and most kids weren’t so easily led around like sheep.
For the kids then that did choose to smoke, it was largely based upon rebellion. They chose to smoke to piss a parent or someone off.

And if todays kids in that age group of 12-14 that the report was based upon, are that fucking simple-minded and easily led-tough nuts to them.
If what they see on TV or in movies makes them copy-cat, their parents need a refresher course on teaching and discipline.
Those kids probably never heard the infamous parents line about “Would you jump off a cliff if so-and-so did, too?”

This study, if it’s to be believed, tells us the kids around today, are so fucking dumb they can’t make choices for themselves.
Choices based on things the parents taught (or should have taught) or from their public/private education.
Not to mention that cigarettes have WARNING LABELS on them now, stating their dangers. Must mean Little Greggory or Angelina can’t read, either. Or they’re even more brainless than even I thought.

With kids these days being that simple-minded, what the hell are they going to do when they get into the real world as adults?
There are a lot of choices a person has to make on a day to day basis.

One of these kids will eventually have their finger on the ‘little red button’.

That my friend, is a very scary thought.
