Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Thu Nov 15, '07, 7:37 pm

Today is the yearly "Great American Smoke-Out" where people try to stop smoking. Anyone here going for it today, or know of anyone who is trying to stop smoking? I wish them all much success :up: in stopping this foul habbit :yuck: .

Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Hrm... it takes a lot more than a single day to kick such a habit. I wish anyone trying it the best and I hope they stick with it beyond the single day. A lot of dedication is needed to drop something so addictive.

I couldn't agree more, Thoul. I think basically this day is just a day for most people to decide to begin to kick the habit. It certainly won't happen in just one day - it could take years to become unaddictive to smoking, however, there has to be a beginning point to even make it happen. I'm sure it was a very unsettling day for those that tried to stop cold turkey or just cut down a little. You never realize how addicted you are to something like this until you try to stop or do without.

It should be turned into a week or like, every other day of the month. That would be great.

Yeah, a more regular reminder may benefit a lot of people more. A yearly day isn't going to do much, but say a monthly reminder? That would be more effective.
