Thread: I'm Glad I'm on the Downhill Side of This Life

Sure, lets ban cars too, how many innocent people do they kill every year? I bet that would save a lot of healthcare dollars too. Just think how healthy people would be if they had to walk or bike everywhere. Goodbye obiesity

Noise OTOH, I would like to have an RPG for those cars with the booming bass that vibrates through other people's cars. Those rude SOBs ought to be shot.

Is that a 'yes, I do get where you're coming from'

Sure ..... I'm a perfect example to illustrate the point you made.

Gentlemen,

As for understanding life, in every respect, whether Democrat, Republican, Independent or Pedestrian, smoker or non-smoker, drinker or non-drinker, happy or sad, skinny or rotund, womanizer or a monk, straight razor user or Mack 3 ozone commando — allow me to offer the wise words of the eccentric French composer Eric Satie, also known as the Velvet Gentleman:

Monsieur Satie said: "When I was young, people used to say to me wait until you're fifty, you'll see. I am fifty. I still haven't seen anything."

Well, gentlemen, I am beyond 50. I am still waiting.

Regards,
Obie

I am sorry but you lost me there. That is either way too philosophical for me, or too off topic. Or both.

big gov is just looking out for you people. they tell you to wear a helmet,a seatbelt and just wait they are going to make you buy a gym membership if you are over weight, and then they are going to make you eat your veggies.

I think he means each individual has his or her own opinion

When asked by an interviewer,"What is life ?" Mark Twain replied," Life, life is one damn thing after another."

I guess in the context of this thread, some people (Jimmy) are going to smoke no matter how senseless it is
