I guess given the choice between being a whiny, sanctimonious, rubbish-spouting non-smoker, and a whiny, sanctimonious, rubbish-spouting smoker, I'd still choose the former if only for financial reasons. You only get the high-grade martyrdom and retro-rebellious edge with the latter, though. Hmm. Tricky.
Really, though, do you listen to yourselves? This is another one of those occasions where no one comes out looking good. Besides, you all seem to agree with each other here so I don't know why you're all shouting. I think you should all relax. Have a cigarette, maybe.
If you're going to suggest smokers are a minority in the same sense that black people are a minority, Sean, I am going to suggest that you check your head.
I don't think any sort of hate directed at any group is especially big or clever or good for the world (and you'd better believe that as a journo I cop for enough abuse in that sense), but that is a ludicrous and offensive leap to make. So don't. Please. Ta. Find another way to argue your point. This kind of thread is wearisome enough as it is.
New research suggests moderating comments (especially the kind you've moderated a gazillion times before) kills you. I think I've got about a week left before I... ack... gag... oh no... estimates... inaccurate... I regret... n-nothing... see you... in hell... mother...fu
*thud*
It's a free country, Duncan. I'll only add/reiterate that if you look closely you'll find the Reg bashes almost everyone for the sake of it. It's a bashocracy in here. We spare no one and thus single no one out. If we haven't had a go at someone yet it's because we haven't got round to it, most likely.
You see a bit of Michelle Rodriguez's though. Kinda.
The screenplay is lousy, but it's just about forgivable given how extraordinary the rest of it is. I hope Bigelow gets her due, though, and I don't think Avatar really deserves to totally clean up, although it probably will.
Alright, fair enough, Andus, but it's still astonishing to me that anyone here can think they're first with any quip when the chances are good that er, they won't be.
The comments are done in batches because I HAVE OTHER ACTUAL WORK TO DO inbetween changing all of your virtual nappies, capiche?
Man, I feel fighty today.
I'm terribly sorry but I don't know who you are. I moderate up to 500 comments a day with assistance from others, who may have taken exception to your outpourings. Or it may have been me. I don't recall. We strive for consistency but it's a little like freedom, or justice - unobtainable absolutes that we can only work towards, never truly achieve.
My name has an H on the end. Perhaps you should remove your eyewear when you sit down to write to me.
Best
