If you insure a cigarette against fire damage, and then light it, are you an arsonist?

Excellent question.  I really don't know, though my guess would be yes, and the insurance agent would be fired.  If a tree falls in the forest when no-one's around, and it hits a mime, will anyone care?

It's a sad thing when a post like this somehow has to be related to sex....

it is to ask some people self control.  That is a feat that few people ever gain.

Thus far I have not sent a throwing knife into the neck of the 15 or so guys who's only mission in life is to annoy me with their stupidity.  Thus, I have a great deal of self control in some things.  Others I have absolutely none.

Stupidity?  Is that your opinion of anyone who disagrees with you?  I would have expected more. As for throwing a knife, I'd suggest you get those violent tendencies checked out, they could cause you problems later in life. Anyways, I disagree with you about stupid people.  Stupid people are those who put no thought into their opinions, simply accepting whatever is told to them.  It is because of these sort of people that dictatorships and oppressive monarchies are allowed to exist. My definition of intelligence is this: "An intelligent person is one who thinks before acting or speaking" Rethink those people according to this, do they still come out as stupid?

Thinking before acting or speaking is counterrevolutionary. "First act, then worry about the consequences" -Lenin But then, apparently, so are well stocked grocery stores and functioning appliances... Just thought I'd toss that little bit of comunist rhetoric in.
