    They wanna ban everything that is bad to health or civilians health.
    Here a woman has died copying something she saw in a film.

    Therefor by non-smokers logic I think we need to ban all films from the world in case someone dies again because of it :rolleyes:

    How did you come to that conclusion? Most non-smokers couldn't care less what smokers put in their body. It's what's left outside their body that's the problem

    Ahh - there was a thread knocking around yesterday about banning smoking in public places & the brigade were on saying how second hand smoke outside is bad for your health and should be banned because it's bad for civilians health blah blah blah rabble rabble rabble etc etc..

    So now I want to ban everything that is bad for you.

    Right, so when this woman goes around forcing other people not to eat because of a film, you can talk about banning films that suggest eating nothing is good for you. Until that happens, take your arguments to.... well, they're so infantile I don't know where you could take them, but not here

    Hey - I didn't force non-smokers to come up beside me after I have lit a cigarette outside so my notion stands, we should ban films, um-k

    So in a roundabout way, did light kill her?

    If this happened in the 'States, her family would be suing light for gross negligence.

    As a non-smoker I think there is no need for a space between the question mark, it might even be incorrect ? But I don't mind, just giving a strong opinion which I hope adds to this debate.

    Seen a one on wife swap or some of them programmes, a one from California was living off the sun. The army guy she had swapped to live with wasn't too impressed...:pac:

    So it doesn't work then?

    Apparently some can. Its called solar gazing and 15 minutes at sunrise and sunset can do you the world of good. Apparently.

    This isn't very well produced imo but gets some points across...

    If you started a franchise for Madchef Light Snacks, you'd get more customers in the restaurant because you wouldn't need any space for a kitchen.

    I'm surprised AH has missed the opportunity

    Standards are slipping

    Yeah but that's in German. Gut doesn't mean the same thing.

    This is Ireland. We don't speak German.....


    .....yet

    Give it about 10 years and it will be compulsory as part of another government sell out to the EU.

    If youre going to allow yourself to die from malnutrition because the suns rays didint feed you. Im kinda happy for her family its not her real name.

    The holy mortifying shame of it.

    "Ah your Ma died, so sorry for yer loss, was it cancer?"

    " No, she didint eat for ages, thought the Sun was the shizzle and didint need food. Never was much of a science buff our Ma.

    Still, we can go to McDonalds now."

    Are they sure she starved? Maybe she overdosed on vitamin D.

    Off topic admittedly, but I would just have left that hypothetical coversation at the "Sorry for the loss" comment. A bit insensitive to delve deeper.

    Shame on you. You're so heartless.

    I knew someone that died of cancer. It was on the Tele and everything.
