I wonder what she'd have to say if she ever develops breast cancer requiring several surgeries, and with nothing and no one to blame for it except maybe for wearing her bras too tight?
Do you think she'd quit it?

This interview comment was on You Tube, but the filthy bitch threatened to sue for 'copyright infringement', so they pulled it. Gee, why would she be ashamed of something she said? She just doesn't want too many people to see this.

To be fair, I didn't view the information because it's close to my bedtime and I didn't want to get so upset I wouldn't be able to sleep (which has happened). But from your comments she sounds like a bigot. When will people realize that bigotry in all forms is bad?

Hey Ocean,

I see nothing wrong with this post and as long as you are not pulling the old, "Smoke Anywhere in Public" e-cig ya-da-ya-da then I would be angry about deleted posts too, though I don't know the contents of your missing posts so I can't say for sure.

EDIT: For some reason my Chrome browser failed to show your sig. Yes, it is loud and I would think about removing the BIG IMAGE ADVERT but keep the text link and then see what happens. At the very least, show some tact and consideration.

But you do realize that advertising is still advertising and may run afoul of the forum rules? Most forums would expect money in exchange for the ads and may still refuse to allow them depending on the theme of the forum.

It's sad that the Nazi Nurse You Tube video was pulled. I can't see where she could legally have claimed copyright violation for a 20 or 30 second snippet on a publicly broadcast radio program or on a photo of herself that she evidently has displayed online.

The fact that the video was threatening to go viral (It had well over 1,000 views in the week or so it was up there) might have had something to do with it.

They say 90% of life is just showing up. I think that's how anti-smoking groups have their power. They show up, protest, have something to say about everything, and chip away at their enemies without rest. If freedom loving people were so relentless, commenting in droves, making an issue out of every little thing the other side did, without exception, the bullies might lose a bit of their steam.

Sympathizer, if you read Chris Snowdon's "Velvet Glove, Iron Fist" (EXCELLENT book!) you'll see how the Antis got the "show up" power: Money. Before they had money they were just a splinter fringe group of nutsos with no power, no respect, and virtually no hope of advancing their agenda. Proposition 10 or 99 or something in California suddenly flooded them with tens of millions of dollars and they just took off from there. It's very hard to create an effective movement without dozens of full time dedicated organizers. We have no funding and thus very few people who can afford to spend anywhere near their full time in the fight. Those initial tens of millions grew to over 800 million dollars a year as of 2001. I don't even know what the figure is now.
