  ok, so obama just signed the "family smoking prevention and tobacco.

  control act" into law.. this law includes:.

  immediately, tobacco makers can no longer make claims that their products pose fewer health risks.. this seems fair.

  also:

  Cigarette-makers are forbidden to use color in ads in any publication whose readership is less than 85 percent adult. They are barred from using music in audio ads. They are not allowed to use pictures in video ads. They may not put product names on race cars, lighters, caps or T-shirts.

  You do know that picture is fake, right?

  No matter, I get your point. Yeah Obama ("ocasionally") smokes. He started as a teen,
  and cites this as being one of the reasons he supports the bill. He says he feels it will
  help more young people avoid the trap he fell into, and is still struggling to get out of.

  Is it true that 1 in 5 JWs don't believe in the moon landing?

  from: http://www.investigatemagazine.com/jan3moon.htm

  "Although the documentary states that 20 percent of Americans now doubt that Man set foot on
  the Moon, the claim, like many of the others, is actually false. The real figure, sourced from
  a 1999 Gallup-poll, is closer to 6 percent."

  I would guess that the number might be higher among JWs, do to a tendency towards both
  gullibility and distrust of the government, but I doubt it is 20%.
  
  I would not, however, be shocked if it were.

  Ok, so Obama just signed the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
  Control Act" into law.

  This law includes:

  • Immediately, tobacco makers can no longer make claims that their products pose fewer health risks.

  This seems fair. None of the "lighter" cigarettes have been shown to be safer whatsoever. People still get cancer, just in a deeper part of thier lungs, becuase in order to get the nicotine they need, the inhale deeper and longer.

  • Within three months, candy- and fruit-flavored cigarettes are banned, and the FDA can extend that ban to cigars and moist snuff, where such flavorings are more common. Menthol is exempt.

  Huh? Is there any actual evidence to suggest that only, or even primarily kids
  smoke "sweet" cigarettes? What, adults don't like candy and fruit too?
  
  Has anyone here started smoking as a kid becuase of fruit flavored cigarettes?
  Are there any adult smokers here who prefer these flavors?
  
  And, ban fruit flavored cigars??? But then how is one to disguise the taste of shitty weed?

  • Within 15 months, tobacco companies must disclose the ingredients in their products.

  This seems fair, considering that food products have been required to do this for a long time.
  Also, they use some disturbing stuff as additives, and the public should know. I would think it
  would be a serious problem if they had to start listing their flavorings used, as that seems like
  a legitimate trade secret.

  • Within two years, the FDA must issue rules on graphic warrnings for cigarettes that will cover half the pack. The labels will take effect 15 months later.

  Ug. I'm not a smoker, but even I can appreciate the atheistic appeal of smoking in particular situations.
  it's one of the only upsides TO smoking. How many iconic movie moments would be ruined by a character
  pulling out a pack of cigarettes with a cancer-ridden rotten teeth picture on it? Those half-pack photo
  warning labels are just scary ugly.

  Yes, I know, that's the point. But in that case, why are beer bottles not required to show a car wrapped
  around a tree, or a failed liver on THEIR labels? Do we seriously think that kids that start smoking don't
  know the risk? If it was safe, it wouldn't be "cool"

  Payne says the bill bans "light" or "ultra-light" cigarettes, which are slightly more than half the market, but it does not specify acceptable words for differentiating them from other cigarettes

  This seems the oddest part to me... Ya, I know companies imply that a light cigarette is safer, and that
  is really sleazy. But nevertheless, safer or not, smoking a "light" cigarette is a different experience to
  smoking, say, an normal or unfiltered one, right? What ELSE are you going to call a cigarette which
  has less dense smoke due to a heavier filter and air holes?
  
  Once again, I'm am torn between liberal and libertarian values. I feel the most akin to you wacky
  libertarians whenever I find a particularly absurd bit of Political Correctness in all its obtuse
  nanny-knows-best glory.
  
  My problem being, I'm not sure how much of this bill falls into that category.
  
  Help me out?

  My plumber used the board with 4 of his friends, it told them that 3 of them would die before they were 20. Guess what happened.

  hmmm... your plumber was convicted of premeditated murder?

  an incredible turn around when you see the watchtower index full of demonic handbags, houses, idols etc.

  etc.. the new bookstudy book "keep yourselves in god's love.

  " p.191 was a shocker for me!

  Such ones might sincerely believe that they saw or heard certain things and may relate their experiences as truth.
  In time the stories become exaggerated by constant retelling.

  ***Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!***

  We have a winner! Be careful guys, you almost said something sensible there. Keep on the watch that
  you too do not fall into the trap of rational thinking!
