It's almost 0:00 at your timezone...

And?

Oh I see. The US Army, because smoking not make you folks being healthy soldiers...

No it's about the government limiting the freedoms of people, while simultaneously horribly exploiting them, while claiming to do it all for everyone's benefit. It's hypocrisy that angers me, not smoking

    Oh I understand your point now, they want to use them as objects and pretend to act like caring people.

    Yes exactly, I'm glad you see now. They are OK with 18 year olds getting shot invading Iraq (and will even give you a college scholarship for it), but smoking is over-21 only. Stupid. Every aspect of this society is designed to exploit people, and then they say they care about people's health by passing inane laws that restrict people even more. While ignoring the big problems, that they themselves are causing. It's so ridiculous.

      What you can do should promote the idea of antiwar?

      Created saidit and /s/warwatch and then post things to it, to help other people see

        Kind of. The majority of people were against the Iraq Invasion, but they still forced it to happen. There were protests of over 2 million people trying to stop it, but they leveraged the emotional momentum of 9/11 to force it through

          The force of "against war" is far smaller than "willingly to join the war" in human gene pool.

          This is changing. The more large wars there are, the more people begin to resist it. A lot of people agreeing with it in the past was because they didn't realize the horrors of war
