What's next an "R" rating for bad driving...

In today's society there are those social habits that really get people going. Drinking, drugs, hot hobbit love(ok I made that up but you know there is some guy making\watching hobbit porn some where..)and of course smoking. These are the things that people really get behind to find a "cure". I mean I am all for people not smoking. However at the same time I have no problems with it, some of my best friends smoke or have smoked. I have always looked at it as a choice to start, and if people start it's their choice to keep going or to stop. Now people will argue that it's an addiction and that people can't just stop and that is what killing people, the addiction. Well, if this is the way you feel, go back and read the last bit again. I said it's a choice to start, but it can turn into an addiction. My argument starts with the starting stage.

I got home from work today, turned on the T.V. and caught this piece on CNN, that says the people in charge of rating movies, the M.P.A.A want to place an "R" rating on movies that depict smoking. They feel this will help people not see instances of smoking, there for cutting down on the amount of people that start smoking because they saw Silent Bob do it. They say that an average person in the key demographic of 16-25 sees 800 instances of smoking a year through the movies and this is what starts them down the "dangerous path of becoming a smoker"...For fuck sakes people.When are people going to realize that people are going to start smoking if they see it in a movie or not. Like I said, and I will repeat in case you you skipped the last bit here.... It's a fucking choice.

I have seen plenty of movies with smoking and I haven't started. I have also seen plenty of movies with car chases, fights, blowing shit up, and mindless gun violence and to this day I have never been in a car chase down an interstate, haven't been in a fight just cause I saw Jet Li beat the shit out of a guy, I haven't bought c-4 on the black market to blow my neighbours car and I haven't shot up a fast-food restaurant just because I couldn't get breakfast. It's like when some sicko kid goes and shoots up the school, they balme the music that happens to be in the cd player when they search his or her home. No one can accept the blame.

The only reason people will start doing that kind of thing is because they are ripe for Jedi-Mind tricks...(did I lose anyone with that reference)...They are week minded. If anyone in this day and age of research and the internet, doesn't know the health risks of smoking then they deserve what comes to them. The M.P.A.A. is an out of date organization, with it's finger up it's ass away from the pulse of society. What is this world coming too. Next thing you know they are going to hire George Lucas(I hear he needs a job)to ditgally remove cigarettes from Humphrey Bogart, James Dean and Marlon Brando movies and replace them with walkey-talkey's. Gimme me a break. This whole I idea is ridiculous.....
