Was there a reason you deleted my post Alex? Just curious. Do as you will. |
I have no power to delete posts on this thread, because it is owned by an older incarnation of "Alex Libman". Besides, I am not an AMP, and this is not the
Hijack Free Zone, and even there I've never deleted a post without good cause and a prior warning.
It's
a forum bug (or the mods are playing tricks)... The following two posts don't appear in the regular thread view, but they appear in the Topic Summary on the bottom of the reply page (which is how I'm quoting them):
There's a good reason why governments got their plebs addicted to tobacco by supplying it for free during WW1 and encouraging an "if you don't smoke you're a pussy" attitude - it is psychologically favorable to encouraging toughness and willingness to take risks.

Maybe this Slashdot story will finally inspire me to get my act together -- Nicotine Improves Brain Function In Schizophrenics --
Never heard that one before. I'll have to read the article when I get a chance. It sounds like it plays right into the fact nicotine reduces the chances of getting Alzheimers. Something to do with the active chemical and how it interacts with the brain.
The only thing harmful about nicotine is the way it is currently cured. If this process could be changed I am sure there are sorts of beneficial properties of this natural plant.
If you see any other posts disappearing, please help me bring attention to this problem on
the forum bug thread...
