  1. for your information marrillionboy there is a condition called feotal alcahol syndrome which affects the baby in a variety of ways.it affects how people look their whole life----- look it up. people who judge like this make me sick- we can all admit that certain facial features are less pleasing than others but there is certainly no need to be callous.

    Am sure she has done her best despite the start she has had in life. people like you make it all the more difficult for society to move beyond this narrow minded shallowness.

    i bet you've still called someone a ginger in a derogatory way tho.... how dare you!

    REDIST!

  2. Also... I am wrong to think that people would actually reserach what they are signing themselves up to for four years of their lives?

    You really are living in cloud cockoo land... are you a drop out by any chance?

    i'm betting a serial year repeater.... " i just can't make up my mind"

    hehe, shortage of jobs my arse; anyone on this forum could go and work in McD's probably starting tonight. Difference between not getting a job and not getting a job you like. not everyone can paint for a living!.

  3. Tangy Toms were always my favourite 10p crisps.

    Used to get them from the Ice Creamer all the time' date=' either that, or a 10p mix.[/quote']

    you can get a box of tangy toms from Makro. mmmm

    what about the shitey crisps with the pilsbury dough man on the front...tubes i think they were called? can't remember...

  4. I certainly think that anyone who doesn't complete their degree by failing or simply dropping out should pay the full cost for the time they have consumed (except with exceptional cases).

    lost count of how many people i know or have met in town and been lik, oh yeah so what you doing now - oh first year again, changed courses.... 7 years after we started at the same time.

    pay it back. dammit.

  5. Don't go to the AA for a quote' date=' they're useless. my first car was a Rover 214Si and started giving me phone numbers from the back of max power instead of a proper quote. Rubbish. Norwich Union were far more reasonable.

    I believe Fiesta's are bad to insure because they get stolen more than most other cars.[/quote']

    AA are totally ripp off merchants.. they quoted me over 3k once.. i ended up paying 1900, quite a difference!

    elephant or tesco.

  6. Ah I see' date=' so you are changing your wording now because your initial statement was fundamentally incorrect. You should think before you post, if you find it so difficult to accept you are wrong from time to time.

    so, the rights of individuals to choose to smoke are "not a fundamentally important right"? Yet the right for companies to import and sell cigarettes and for the government to collect taxes on them, IS a "fundamentally important" right? Freedom of the individual must take priority over the freedoms of the open market or the rights of the government. Therefore, I'm totally against a smoking ban until the companies are banned from selling tobacco and the government stops collecting tax on it.

    So, I guess you don't give a toss about human rights in the end, you are essentially a hypocrite.[/quote']

    no one is questioning your right to smoke, it's where you can and cannot smoke that is governed by the law. You don't own the pubs, so why do you think it's your right to smoke in them? You elected the government so you chose to let them make the law.

    smoke at home.

    the above quote seems to infer that you are for human rights yet you chose to smoke around people. Would you smoke around a little baby, or would you feel uncomfortable blowing smoke in ti's face.. wonder why.

  7. well that's just silly and doesn't have any relation to this argument. of course you have the right to smoke in this context but you also have the right to kill millions of people through torture and execution if you wanted going on this argument.

    if you want to live your life purely on this argument go and form a lawless society on an isolated island somewhere. as it stands you're in a society governed by laws and have to follow those laws or go through certain process to change them. just ignoring their existence and the existence of the society we live in is no way to win a reasonable debate.

    tv tanned's statement was fair and justified in the context of our society' date=' though perhaps too general. everyone has a fundamental right to do whatever they want to themselves within the law. they negate that right when it affects others to the detriment of their way of life. so you can smoke all you want in your own flat but you no longer have a fudemental right to smoke when it's sitting beside a non smoker in a public place.

    personally i'm on the fence about the smoking ban, i think it'll help me quit smoking which is a good thing but at the same time i do enjoy a cigarette with a pint. hence my failure to quite smoking. i do think that it sucks for non smokers to go out and breathe in smoke and to come home reeking of smoke as well, there's no escape for them really.[/quote']

    Ok the first sensible post by a smoker. kudos.

  8. I'm not talking about the legal system' date=' [/quote']

    Then why are you posting about "new smoking laws" then? You bring nothign to this argument, except to prove that again the smokers on this board cannot justify their reasoning for being allowed to smoke in a society with laws and regulations all aimed at preserving quality of life. Smoking infringes on peoples quality of life, therfore it should be confied to accepted areas - your own home.

    Out of interest, do you smoke in your own home or do you do it outside or with the windows open?
