yeh, to have the courage to toe the twitter leftist party line is so very non conformist of you pal

Did you know you're actually the first person ever to retroactively become obsessed with post punk via the internet???? Here's your special identity prize. :bonkhead:

That's very punk rock. :band:

Presumably because he didn't talk to any black people about this.

Everyone knows that if you ban menthols all that's going to happen is black people are going to start going to the back alleys to get their cigs

I dunno why biden supports it I don't necessarily think he has racist motivations but I am highly suspect of what motivates the 7/11 clerk to support this..... I wonder what his reason could be :confused: ;)

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Fox News doesn't have the correct take on this by calling it condescending liberal paternalism.

Is the reasoning that menthols are actually significantly worse for you than normal cigs or is it just cause they're the cigarette of choice for most black smokers?

I've heard they're worse but I don't remember all the reasons other than just the fiber glass.

Yeah worse sure but how much worse? Enough to ban? Might as well just ban cigs if they're that serious about the health aspect

Honestly though whether this is a good policy or not it's bound to make more people dislike Biden. I dunno why democrats are so **** at playing this game. Biden was there through the Obama years he should know better than to hang his hat on a largely symbolic policy that is going to piss off the working class in the short term and make you look like a nanny state elitist while any benefits from the policy are going to come long after you're out of office.


It's similar to the banning put cigs from restaurants and bars in Ny. Retroactively a good policy but at the time it just made New Yorkers hate their mayor.

Dems need to step their politics game up before they give us another Trump

In Biden's America, we only smoke healthy cigarettes.

Gotta keep the slaves in shape, that'll get you the best ROI.

So would shutting down popeyes.

The motivation is that the poors can't think for themselves and need the rich to do it for them.

But basically the policy is to ban menthols cause those are the cigs preferred by black people on average? Is that the basic logic?

I don't doubt what you say but this still smacks of Bloomberg banning large sodas.

yeah and why not just ban cigs altogether if we're worried about the health risks?

Cause people will go ape****, that's why.

But banning menthols is gonna piss people off too, just less so. They're scared to go all in and ban cigs so they are just gonna make things less convenient for smokers and hope that gets people to stop.

On the bright side I'll never have to worry about bumming the wrong kind of cigarette. Menthols really are nasty.

I always hated them too. Like smoking a thin mint except it's not slightly delicious.

I think you explained it very clearly.

It's a more toxic cigarette marketed towards black people like they're trying to make money off of hurting black people.

The ban is kind of stupid in the grand scheme of things but if they don't get why a black health organization would want to ban it they're kind of dumb. I'd push a campaign to inform people rather than a ban but that's me. Not just on the racist marketing of that cigarette but also the way they manipulated women to smoke through the feminist movement.

I just want my candy cigarettes.

I'm honestly not aware of whatever racist marketing you're referring to. I very rarely see cigs advertised except at gas stations whether it has the brand and the price.

In the grand scheme of things I truly don't give a **** whether menthols are banned just like I dont give a **** whether ar15s are banned.... I just think it's bad politics and will make him less popular.

He's obviously talking about it's historical marketing but if you really want to know then google it, bitch.

Yeah, it is stupid though. How are we supposed to have a working class revolution with out assault rifles and menthols? With hand guns and Virginia Slims looking like a bunch of pansies?

I don't care enough to Google it. You guys should explain it to me since you know so much about it. Otherwise I'll just stay ignorant lol I really dgaf

I don't, I'm just going off of what elph said.

That's your first mistake comrade

Derringers and Virginia Slims.

Oop. Just popped a boner.

They really put "can I bum a smoke" on the packaging. Lol what a different time.

Chrissy Teigen’s cookware pulled from Macy’s website for trolling Courtney Stodden

Cool. I like nasty people paying for their nastiness. At least a little bit. All of these people are too rich and famous to really suffer but it does send a message out. Be careful what you do, it might come back to bite you on the ass.

I had to Google them both and they look like the basicest of bitches.

Teigen was supposed to be a level above the other one, she's married to John Legend after all, you'd think she'd be more classy. Not sure why she would bother to troll that person, but then bullies be bullies.

Yet another story about something that happened a decade ago.

that broad was 16 and dating a 50 year old man.... Somewhere out there OH just pitched a tent

I miss OH.
