Why are people so miserableeeeeeeeeeeee??

Question

I just asked a polite question about smoking and got called all sorts including hitler!! why has the world turned into a bunch of miserable nastyness?? lol. what happened to happyhappyhappyhappyhappy talk??

Answer 1

Shoot, if i told you why I am miserable that would make you miserable. This kind of misery does not like company.

Answer 2

DON'T WORRY!!!

Theres nothing people like more than a good moan!

If people liken ciggarette smoke to car fumes then they are idiots - car emitions contain gasses which may harm the environment but cigarettes contain traces of arsenic, carbon monoxide etc. - these are potent poisons.

As for the Hitler thing, this just underlines the commenters ignorance of historical truth - their knee-jerk response to anything they dislike is to throw the Hitler card without understanding the relevance (or lack of)

Your right - cigarette smoke is a pollutant nd should be discorouged but not with half hearted locality bans - an outright ban is the only soloution. And no - smoking is not a right - it's a luxury!

You got some good answers, some bad ones, some stupid ones and some totally vile obnoxious ones. That's what happens when you have a democracy. Everyone is intitled to his own stupid opinion, and Yahoo Answers is the place for it. You can only participate if you can take it for what it's worth.

People are miserable primarily because they had dreams when they were younger that have never been realized, oftentimes because they weren't willing to try or didn't know how to achieve them. They are disillusioned and bitter. They don't like the way the world is going. There are plenty of individual reasons for unhappiness. You probably have many people sitting here typing because they don't have anyone else to talk to, therefore you are talking to a lot of lonely embittered people.

I think it's admirable that you take your children for walks. I think the suggestion that you try to avoid peak times is a valid one. Our state has recently passed a law prohibiting smoking indoors in all public places, so the moment people get outside of their offices, restaurants, etc. they can't wait to light up. Just avoid these times and enjoy your walks.

Dagnabbit, you can be pro-smoking and be called Hitler, you can be anti-smoking and be called Hitler, and doubtless some useless grammarian will castigate me for using the same comparison in opposition within the same sentence.

I'm for compromise. My local pub has two bars - what is wrong with smoking in one bar and no smoking in the other? By all means have a bonfire in your garden next door to mine, but not when I've got clothes drying on my clothesline. Have a good party, but let me have notice so I can arrange to go out, and to check that I have not already arranged a dinner and chess evening which would be ruined by the din from your party. And kill the din by midnight, so we can get some sleep.

We all promote our own agenda, and forget or ignore the way of life of others. Or, for whatever warped reason, we have to have a go at whatever upsets us - people with long hair, car drivers, owners of cats, vegetarians, meat-eaters, Jews, Muslims, Gays, enthustiasts of sado-masochism, Jehovah's Witnesses or those who worship the mouse (devotees of the |Greek God Apollo, not computer users!).

I was taken to court on a civil tort, because someone had seen me sunbathing naked on a beach. The beach is two miles from the nearest house. If you walked past the beach on the path you would have not seen me, as a large hazel bush obscures the view of the beach from the path. The only way that you could have seen me was to emerge from the sea, or step down to the beach. The person who saw me naked was a bird watcher, who saw me emerge from the sea after a skinny-dip through his binoculars from a mile and a half away. He called the Police, who rightly advised him that the law on public nudity in England only bans nudity if the nude person intends to cause alarm or distress by the exposure of his or hers genitals. At a mile and a half away, the Police could only laugh.

I attended the civil hearing, which lasted about four minutes - there was no case to answer. I now have a counter-claim in the civil courts, as I was named in the Press at no fault of my own, and am advised by both the police and a Barrister that if the previous litigant complains again, I am entitled to bring an Information on the grounds of harassment - a criminal offence.

So, take heart, some of the miserable buggers dig their own graves.
