My point was that you have latched onto one study
I didn't "latch on" to anything. I just posted an interesting news link. One of many that I've posted on a lot of different subjects. Reading anything more into it than that is just tin-foil-hattery.

But I agree with @Tom - there's an element of luck, of course, and because of that a lot of people say "there's nothing you can do about it". But they're wrong - you can.

Lifestyle choice is still a choice and nothing more. It's just that some people don't like to think about the choices that they make. I've freely admitted that I choose to drink. But I'm not dumb enough to get pissed off if someone points it out, like some people are...

I think cancer specifically has a lot more to do with the areas that you live, not necessary the individual's health, issue is that we can't do much about shitty air quality, because you know, money, so instead we tell people to eat healthier.

That being said, it seems the Froggies have it worse than us!

I guess the best thing to do would be to live in the North of Scotland just hope for perma southern winds :p

I know it's one random day 3 years ago, but it still shows a 'norm' of when it gets bad, the entire of the UK is sometimes green, but then when its not, it usually looks like this.

The Gwadien Guide to Buying Your Parents Presents With Two Siblings;

Step 1: Have brothers which are lazy and won't buy anything until the last minute.
Step 2: Buy very expensive presents for your parents
Step 3: Allow Brother A to pay half of all the presents because he goes on about how expensive they are and how your parents won't mind if you got halves, don't reveal to Brother B.
Step 4: Allow Brother B to pay half of all the presents because he goes on about how expensive they are and how your parents won't mind if you got halves, don't reveal to Brother A.
Step 5: Buy wrapping paper, and make sure your parents see wrapping paper.
Step 6: Wrap presents on Christmas Eve.

Results:
  • Parents are aware that you have bought the presents, and that you wrapped them, resulting in you gaining all the credit.
  • You don't spend a penny.
  • Your brothers can't publicly tell you to give their money back, or it shows to parents that they don't capitalistically love them.

I've decided I'm going to vote to leave the EU on the referendum.

Just did some reading about Poland, apparently, they don't accept any kind of discount for non-Polish students.

European law says you can't discriminate based on nationality, and us and Germany are the only ones that stick to it, apparently.

Everybody discriminates, everybody cheats. Problem with the British is we keep assuming that when you write something down, its an actual rule (which is why we blow fuses about straight bananas and other such bullshit) whereas for most of the rest of Europe, especially anywhere south of us, the EU is, to misquote Captain Barbossa, "more of a guideline".

Yes smoking increases your chance of lung cancer..but only the chance...that means nothing to you...and most people need to smoke for for 40 years before they develop it, it's not very cancer inducing at all...you get lung cancer from smoking because you are genetically subsceptible to it.

Half of people who smoke eventually die from a smoking-caused disease or illness. And for every smoker that dies there are 30 others that live with some smoking related disease. Smokers also die, on average, ten years earlier than non-smokers.

Cancer's not the only thing with an environmental cause y'know...

So 10 years less of bed wetting and sat staring into the middle distance 16 hours a day, bored into mental illness, watching every penny you have earned in your life go towards prolonging the torture.

Great, sign me up!

Great thinking @Raven 'cus dieing from cancer is so pretty.
Why don't you take a tour at a hospital's cancer ward and see how chill it is to live out you last years battling that disease.

1-2 years dying from cancer vs 10 years of shitting yourself and forgetting you left the oven on.

hmmm.

Besides which, its only years if you are talked into prolonging it with little chance of getting through.

I don't get everyone's obsession in living every last minute, regardless of quality of life. If you're fucked, just let it go.

Fuck that, I would rather enjoy myself while I can, not suffer when my arse doesn't work any more.

That's what happens to fat lazy smokers like my mum.

Won't happen to me :)
