    It would be nice if it applied both ways.

    Don't want to look at nudey pictures? Don't look at them. Don't want to drink beer? Don't drink it. Don't want to stick your dong in another man's bunghole? Don't stick your dong in another man's bunghole.

    Instead they push for laws saying you can't look at nudey pics, can't drink beer and can't stick your dong in another man's bunghole.

    Knowing how much a person smokes,[sic] isn't going to change the cost of chemotherapy. In a family situation, tracking the weekly shopping won't tell doctors who is eating the chocolate-covered bacon.

    It'll enable the them to increase their premiums though. Possibly even deny them coverage (only after a claim is made, of course) because 'self inflicted'.

    Prevention is better than cure

    Next time before you make an ass of yourself, perhaps you should consider that a 'spelling error' isn't really a very good excuse for a bizarrely smarmy feeling of superiority on your part
