  • I really don’t have a clue, but calculating averages might yield results which don’t represent a directly applicable value. If some people lose tens of years due to dramatic complications, it could weigh up a lot for people who barely lose any life length.

    Again, I’m just guessing wildly, but anything which scares people away from smoking is good in my opinion.

    There are a variety of reasons, and of course there exists people who are in full control of their weight, but decide to not do anything about it. What I’m hinting at is that there are also a lot of people who suffer with deeper psycological issues. We don’t really tease depressed people with nick names and expect them to just snap out of it at any time. Hence I feel like we should generally treat heavier people with respect instead of assuming that it’s their active choice.

    Yep, the same way people can take full control of their depression, alcoholism or other psycological issues. It’s all about just rolling up those sleeves and deciding not to have the issues. So we can safely assume that all heavier people are a result of them actively choosing to become heavy, so we should always treat them as such.


  • Sich a dumb word, but somehow I never really clicked on this word: “question”. I have spoken the word a lot, but somehow I practiced speaking english less when I moved away from my parents to study. English became more of a read and written language than spoken, so the words became just things to read, not to sound out loud.

    After attempting to speak a bit more english again, words were drawn from memory by how they were written. And for some reason the word “question” was incredibly weird. “Kuest-ion”? No, I’m sure there is a “ch”-sound in there. “Kwest-chien”?

    I had to check out some youtube videos on pronounciation to get it right.
