    So what’s the statement here? As long as it doesn’t affect you, you shouldn’t care about how it affects others? That’s kind of a shitty way of thinking.

      I don’t think that’s the statement. I think it’s that they were hoping that they could ignore it but weren’t about to.

      In a sense I wouldn’t berate coworkers and family for smoking and drinking stating facts about the detriment to their health every chance I get. I’d lend a hand when they need me the most, when they’ve looked in the mirror long enough, when they are looking for change.

      It’s a fact I’ve come to realize some people don’t want to change others have a limit they reach before they can change. If your always there to help when they need it, the outcome will almost always be better.

      I don’t like being told what’s best for me or what I should be doing as much as the next guy so I don’t really bring it up unless they ask.
