Well good luck with the suit fellas,llol.I've been smoking for 30 years,since I was 22,I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3 years ago & was hospitalised last year with pneumonia.Would I consider suing the tobacco industry? Absolutely not.Unless these prisoners have been drinking alcohol from a ridiculously early age,i.e. before they were of an age where they could comprehend how alcohol can have a detrimental effect on health then they don't have a snowball's chance in

(contd'), hell of being successful with their suit.No-one forced alcohol down their throats,in the same way that no-one forced me to take up smoking.What happened to taking responsibility for one's own decisions?

Everyone wants a bailout. The deep problems coming from low income and uneducated areas come from disparity and looking for escape is symptomatic. More education, not labels and compensation.

Myopic?

Ethnocentric?

weak...dull...ineffective...as­inine...

I'm assuming aspergers...but possibly bipolar too? amirite?

I suggest two extra Klonopin and a trip to the library, read up on the subject you've attempted to comment on and ended up looking like a fucking retarded fool.

You are most welcome....no charge.

Another free life tip for you, wipe your ass after you shit.
