Did you even know that cigarette smoking is not an actual cause of death, but rather a cause of other diseases such as causes heart disease and cancer?


Don't split hairs, it's still the root cause.

Actually, us oil guys are happy if we have a good supply of the stuff. Doesn't matter even if we don't have a roof over our head and our vehicles have been rendered useless by a full fledged EMT attack. We will still be happy if we are sitting in a cave, shivering but sitting next to a stash of oil and filters.

Considering that we live in - by far - the most peaceful and prosperous time in human history, my guess is that humanity as a whole will continue to improve upon that condition, while panicky people will continue to freak out over the things they can successfully identify as evidence that "everything is going to you-know-where".

The MIC was the big bad boogey man back when Johnson and Nixon were running a war in Southeast Asia. I gather that it is still a concern?

"Old Americans" fall the BIG BAD RUSSIAN stuff with surprising uniformity.
Unfortunately, not where it counts.

Have you ever ----
lived in Russia, or a country of the former Soviet Union?
visited one of the above?
known anyone that lived through the horror of Soviet occupied countries?
If not, go, see for yourself, experience the evil empire first hand, and then tell us it is only a sideshow.

I check all 3 boxes...
Granpa did a "tour of duty" in Siberia.
Dad had to give up all land possession just to go to highschool.
Do I win something?

That statement is awesome, so true!
How about this....
I read a 2017 FAA report that most plane crashes are caused by a lack of altitude of the aircraft, and I believe it! Of course I believe everything the 'govment tells me.

I'm not splitting hairs, I'm simply being more accurate. Besides, cigarette smoking is decreasing rapidly in the U.S. A linear extrapolation of the decreasing trend puts the cigarette smoking rate at near zero sometime around the year 2044. The new enemy is overprocessed foods and sedentary lifestyles.

People are turning to smoking weed and "vaping" instead of cigarettes ... less data on ill effects so they think it's safer and "cooler". Fact is, cigarettes are the root cause of more deaths than any other bad habit. Remember these type of ads back when people were stupid (some still are) - LINK

Serious, I'd agree.

Look how close they moved their country to all those bases...clearly provocative.

Not that I am on a Russian side...but yes it is getting crowdy...

So incidents like that should be noting uncommon.

Now ain't that the truth.

Dangerous times we live in.
Increase your stash of oil and filters soon for the doom and gloom.
And happy Valentine's Day!

No idea if you're joking or not, but this was going on in the late seventies and am not surprised if it still goes on. No doubt we do the same.

That was Eisenhower's final address. Where he warned the US citizens of an alliance between the military and arms makers.Continuous war equals continuous profits. No enemy? Invent one.

No one is offering a chicken dinner, but how about a free short stack of pancakes on Feb 27?

I know a one-legged waitress at IHOP.
Her name is Ilene.
