Schwelmo's Welt

I was thinking to quit smoking. I am actually been thinking about it a while. But right now I think I shouldn’t stop. I know it is not healthy, but that doesn’t stop most people from drinking sugar packed fizzy drinks or eating junk food. And I don’t want to advertise it in any way....so if you haven’t started yet DON’T, ever! But I do believe that everybody should be able to do what he/she wants…Ok, sometimes I want to kill somebody who really pissed me off and I shouldn’t do that and should not be allowed to (and I never did). And you shouldn’t be allowed to bomb other countries without or faked reasons or at all. And you should not be allowed to get away with it. And you shouldn’t get away with torturing people just because you are bored, stupid, were never really accepted and your parents did not love you. Even you are in the middle of a desert and do not know what you are there for. You should be allowed to draw cartoons and being satirical.

What does this have to do with smoking?? Well, Maori party decided (this is not true I just found out: one member wants a complete smoking ban, so please replace Maori party in this post with "one member of the Maori party") they want totally ban smoking. You wouldn’t be allowed to smoke anywhere. It is forbidden to smoke in pubs here, I kind of understand why and I am used to it and do not really mind to go outside if I feel like a puff (actually we usually stay outside and the non-smokers follow after a while. So that the pubs are pretty empty inside and packed outside.) even if I would stop smoking I do not care what other people do to themselves or in their home, garden, car. It is not of my business. If you enjoy smoking, do it. I know you will say something about how unhealthy it is, passive smoking and damage to the society. Well drinking alcohol is unhealthy and eating (red) meat is the second highest risk (after smoking) for cancer. Nobody wants to forbid that. Well, you find people who want to forbid meat or alcohol.

Being obese is unhealthy and damaging the society. Driving a SUV is unhealthy, uncool, blocking my view at interceptions and killing school kids who are too small to see if you are driving out of the school drive way. I would love somebody forbids them (and actually would love to drive one as I am sure its fun). Anyway, I think it is not the Maori partys business if you smoke or not!

At the same day the EU made “great progress in securing the safety and FREEDOM of the EU”. The parliament decided to save all telefon calls (incl. internet connections) with owner of the connection, time, date and number of the receiver for 6-24 month. EVERY call! War against terrorism and other crimes! Thank you, I feel much saver and free now. Thank you for trusting us! Maybe you should read our letters as well. At least Ireland and Slovakia said no.

And the job of storing the data is left to (Deutsche) Telekom, which weren’t able to make a telephone connection at my ex-girlfriends place for 3 month.

Hey, where are we going?? What kind of world we wanna give to (y)our kids? Nowadays-even actors get into trouble by doing their job.

One day somebody tell a friend via email or telephone that he is drawing a cartoon while he smoking in his lounge and will be arrested by the police, which was informed by the Maori party (who globalized their non-smoking program by then). And all that for his own safety in the name of national security and fight against terrorism.
