what if you're supposed to wear steal toe boots, you don't and something falls on your toes and shatters them?
what if a little league coach tells a kid not to go near the guy on deck when he's getting ready ... kid goes near him and gets his face shattered?
what about alky's and addicts?
or does your rule just apply to cigarette smokers and obese people?
An endless set of legitimate questions that a mindless poster simply can't answer.
Somehow, in the OP's mind, all cigarette smokers who get cancer or any of the other myriad of diseases from cigarettes, "deserve no assistance" from the government. As though there is a currently a federal program set up directly for smokers who get sick.
It's the 'blame game' and 'you're on your own' with minds that are so devoid of any kind empathy, it's a lost cause.
He goes on to say they deserve no 'assistance' from the health care industry. Well guess what, if you try to purchase your own coverage, the fact that you smoke will effect your premium payment; that is, you will charged now for any future ailment or disease you may get from smoking. It is built in the premium when disclosed.
But in the OP's mind, you deserve no 'assistance' from health care insurers even though they are more than willing to cover you for the premium they require if you are a smoker. I guess in his mind, they should retain all your premiums once you get cancer and revoke your coverage.
And on and on and on with posters like this...All because he doesn't want to see 'ill' people on his television set. Let's not irritate him further or we may hear from him again.
Should you even argue with posters like this or try to refute their idiotic stances??? Don't waste your time.
