What would happen, if a girl in a Slovenian pub asked you for fire and you showed her your <a href="http://www.carniola.org/2007/01/great-funeral-services-think-alike.htm" rel="nofollow">brand new Croatian lighter</a> and all she can read is: "samo vi...." hehehehe Hmm, those are that important things, Slovene teachers usually don’t tell ;-)

"Pušenje" (Croatian for smoking) is also used as an euphmism for felatio (or blow job) - thus suggesting that smoking ("pušenje" in coloquial Slovene) is good for keeping a girl's weight down can have a not-so-discreet sexual connotiation :) Well, it’s not actually Slovenian, but it entered Slovene language as a coloquialism. “Pušenje” (Croatian for smoking) is also used as an euphmism for felatio (or blow job) - thus suggesting that smoking (”pušenje” in coloquial Slovene) is good for keeping a girl’s weight down can have a not-so-discreet sexual connotiation :)

One problem though is a lot of the people want these better, safer items...UNTIL they see what it costs. At least that's what I see from Americans. IMO they're the biggest hypocrites in the world. A lot of advocates for cleaner cars, if you check what they drive is a big gas-guzzling vehicle. I kind of laugh at the news over here, it's like jackals running in circles. What can we say that will make an uproar today, but that nobody has any intention of fixing in the long run. This is U.S. Politics: Liberals - raise taxes (i.e. raise taxes/throw money at the problem - unfortunately all this does is allow more money to be skimmed by crooks) Our govt. here is like a sieve leaking money fast. Conservatives - cut taxes (one good point less money to be wasted/more money in my pocket) Of course they too don't try to fix any problems. So screwed either way. ;) I guess there is one thing I have to give to U.S. politicians, how they can lie, lie, and lie some more but still get people to believe them. @pengovsky: One last thing I missed.

So I know that's a plus for some women. But if I'm not mistaken isn't that from the nicotine? If that's the case just slap on a bunch of nicotine patches. Problem solved. :P j/k @pengovsky: hehe I was wondering when you were going to mention car emissions. At some point I knew it would be brought up. Yes they are harmful, but at least that has a lot more "air" to be diluted in. As long as your not sucking on a tailpipe!! :) Still hopefully that to will be fixed. I agree on the Health Insurance. Now there is a true case of russian roulette. Either way though you're screwed. If you luck out and live a full life without ever needed medical help, you payed for insurance your whole life..for nothing. And well if you get sick, well that's bad already, and like in the U.S. even if you have insurance, that doesn't pay the whole bill...but that's Capitalism for ya. And it can also be said for many other industries as well, things change but you still pay the same price or more...like prices in Slovenian rising after the monetary changeover. @alcessa: yep, it does hold off weight-gain.

Like fabric dyes, many kinds of (mass produced) food etc. etc. We can only hope they will get enough attention one day - and we should also hope they don't get the attention after something really bad has happened or for irrelevant reasons etc. On the whole, the world is getting more "poisonous", at the same time, the medicine is improving, too.
