"Secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 22,700-69,600 heart disease deaths in adult nonsmokers in the United States each year" It's all the smoking. Air pollution has nothing to do with it at all... Oh damn i got run over by a (completely sober) car driver and lost a limb. I'm sure the insane traffic these days has nothing to do with that, but we can't help it: Cars are sacred. Yes, we use cars to get around and aid us in our day to day lives. Being run over is a necessary risk/side effect of a transport system that isn't perfect due to it's use, not it's nature. Car's aren't designed to give people cancer or give out smoke. A perfect travel system would be safe and produce zero emissions. A perfect cigarrette would still be addictive and produce smoke. Like I said, it is psychological. Nicotine is not prescribed to relax you or go to your brains. All it does is make you think it is going to relax you which therefore relaxes you. I'm not denying that it relaxes some people, but it is a psychological effect, and frankly I think if you have to inhale smoke to relax you need to find a new hobby. Nicotine is an Alkaloid that causes considerable physical effects. (Like sever addiction) Let's look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine Aha, seems it isn't the nicotine alone: Taken from that wikipedia page: You know as well as I do that wikipedia isn't perfect. Fair enough, I stand corrected. Nicotine does give small pleasure levels similar to weed or heroin. However, nicotine primarily is addictive. The small biological pleasure levels achieved are generally outweighed by the psychological pleasure levels achieved. I'm sure smoking has some benefits to some people. However, the negatives easily outweigh the positives, by far. You seem to be defending smoking and passive smoking by saying that cars and other forms of pollution also cause pollution. But which is more essential to us as human beings?

No such thing mate, nicotine doesn't give you a high. "Secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 22,700-69,600 heart disease deaths in adult nonsmokers in the United States each year" How many more do you want? So tell me, when I go out with my friends and they want to go to a sheisha bar or go to someone's house and all smoke weed how do I avoid it then? Like I said, it is psychological. Nicotine is not prescribed to relax you or go to your brains. All it does is make you think it is going to relax you which therefore relaxes you. I'm not denying that it relaxes some people, but it is a psychological effect, and frankly I think if you have to inhale smoke to relax you need to find a new hobby. I don't hate smokers, heck a lot of my family smokes, but I do hate the pretence that it's "not that bad for you" or "it's cool to smoke" that drives so many young kids to ruin their lives because of it.

In terms of a simple meet... I'd love to find out if mad is really as happy in real life as she around here. :P In terms of dating... no thanks.

Yes, because I hear there's been an increase in deaths due to lack of headware outdoors. Yes, but the difference between obesity and smoking is that we need to eat to live. Are you suggesting we stop eating? Thank god, we don't need to smoke to live. Obesity is a side effect of eating, and is sometimes genetic anyway. Smoking does nothing good for us biologically. So you have to inhale smoke to relax? Cool man. Like I said, we need cars to get around, crashing one is a necessary and fairly rare risk. Why do we need cigarrettes? They have no health benefits at all, the effects people feel, like stress relief are all psychological. Cigarrettes are purely addictive. People get so annoyed because having to inhale someone else's smoke isn't particularly pleasant. Oh no wait, it's actually disgusting.

Stick me on that thing :)

Nah i'd rather not get lung cancer thanks. Filthy habit.

I don't know about that, apparently he'll be spending more time with his kids. Think how good they could be... :ohnoes: Anyway, I salute him, he's an amazing bowler, an absolute legend of the sport.

Was he the one who banned all recorded music and renamed the months after his family members? What a tragedy... :roll:

I don't get it... His username is fat_slug... I put him down as... fat_slug. I must be missing something :( "T" is kinda near "g" on the keyboard... :P

Yup, I believe Matt was nicknamed the "dwarf" for that thread as well :P

Yeah, and I remember how freakishly tall Daan really did look :P

Oh man, that's how I draw people (okay slightly better), surely you can do better than me? :P

Completely true. No way I would have found them if it wasn't for these forums.

Snowballs could be thrown at other players, and were permanent.

There is a set amount that you can store, which is increased for members. You can't increase it. Now and again Jagex gives everyone more bank space, but that's rare.

The only available storage pouches are those that store rune essence for runecrafting. But that's all they store. Apart from that, there aren't anymore storage pouches for general items.

Fixed the typo, before users go crazy searching the memberlist for someone called that :P

Write down lyrics that mean something to you. If your lyrics don't mean anything to you then you won't be able to put that energy into your singing that'll give it that edge.

Damn you're all freakishly tall. I'm only 5'11", but hoping for a few more inches before I stop growing.

Locked - don't bump old topics.

No. You need anti dragon breath shield and anti fire pot for full protection.

Beserker gives strength bonus, warrior gives attack bonus. Whichever you want to use is normally down to preference. Excact stats can be found in this guide http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=315340

The enchantment chamber is pretty good exp. I'd raise it a couple more levels then head there and use the enchant lvl 3 jewellry.

How2Pk - i'd steal his dvd's and then run :anxious:

Wow, I feel a big debate coming on... Interestingly, a true communist state has never been established anywhere in the word. The idea behind communism, simply, is that the workers (proletariate) rise up and seize power from the government, establishing a temporary vanguard politburo style government to establish the communist state. After that the vanguard would dissolve as it would no longer be necessary and everyone would live equally. No "communist" state has ever got beyond that vanguard government, partly because you'd need nearly every other country to become communist as well for it to work (not gonna happen) and partly because when the vanguard leaders get there, they find they actually quite like the power and control. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I'll go into my personal thoughts on it later.
