Smoking and Cancer

[Darth Wong]

You said

"As for being unable to quit, the fact that some people can quit proves that the people who can't quit are weaker than they are. "

Which sounds like a pretty absolute statement to me,

Oh fuck off, you worthless sophistic chickenshit. If I said that smokers are less educated, would you crow about how it's possible to be a PhD and a smoker too? All sociological rules are subject to exception, fucktard. This is no exception, and never did I state anywhere that smoking is the giant glaring exception to this. I simply made a generalized statement, and because I didn't load it down with fucking qualifiers, you chose to seize upon it as an excuse for your rampant bullfuckery.

Bullshit. Don't you know that some people put on muscle faster with the same workouts? That doesn't mean people actually say "oh, that barbell weighs 120 lbs, but for that guy, it's 180".

You've just stated my point for me very succintly. If two people do exactly the same workout, and one is more effective, would you say that the other person failed because they were not determined enough?

No, I would say that one guy is WEAKER than the other one, you idiot. And it would be a completely accurate statement. What the fuck do you think we're arguing about, moron?

Or would you acknowledge that since some people have an unfair advantage, nothing is gained by measuring everyone to the same standard.

And yet my example proves you wrong, moron. Nobody says "well, for that guy the barbell actually weighs 180 pounds, even though it's marked for 120 lbs".

Willpower is the only factor known to exist in terms of combating an addiction once you have it.

This is patently false. Nicorette gum, methadone, and other chemical substitutes are factors which can aid in breaking an addiction.

Yet again, you persist in being a deceptive little shit. You know perfectly well that we were talking about psychological factors, not chemical assistance.

What is weakness, then? Please, by all means, let us know what your definition is.

Weakness can mean many things. At the beginning, you equated it with ability to quit smoking, and I've stuck to this definition.

More bullshit. I never said "weakness is the ability to quit smoking". I used weakness the way it's defined in the dictionary, ie- lack of strength. You seem to think that if some form of strength is related in any way to genetics, then it's not really strength. I would like you to find the part of the dictionary definition which supports this bullshit made-up claim before you use it again.
