Unfortunately, Cory's opinions of himself are generally pretty over-inflated.

where the hell did you read that? nicotine isn't even that addictive. it's only marginally addictive physically, causing physical dependence in very few people, and doesn't provide hardly enough positive reinforcement to create psychological dependence.it's most likely that most smokers are just addicted to the "act" of smoking--an oral fixation. scientists also suspect that people find smoking pleasurable because it burns your throat lining, causing your body to release dopamine as it repairs the tissue, not the effects of nicotine itself. after all, nicotine is only a very very mild stimulant and has negligible psychoactive effects.most of all though, smoking is a social addiction. that is the primary reason it's so difficult for most smokers to quit unless they stop hanging around other smokers. cigarette smokers also have less incentive for quitting as it's a socially accepted addiction, often glamorized in the media, as well as being completely legal and widely available. the popular belief that nicotine is extremely physically addictive just contributes to the social forces that work against people trying to quit smoking. society tells people that they can't quit smoking because it's too addictive, and even create useless patches to further ingrain the idea that quiting is unfeasible.

Pick up the paper and you'll realise how stupid society is. We are living in a world of morons who have no clue that they are being raped daily by corporate greed.

The problem is people don't give a s**t about stuff that they don't think effects them or understand. For example most people are satisfied with a cell phone that is locked down and a two year contract if they they get a free cell phone. Of course they are missing the bigger picture. When the masses are satisfied we are all locked into higher prices, monopolies, crummy service, and fewer services etc.

Nothing is defective by design. It's like saying, the society is stupid because I'm not rich or what ever. It's designed the way it is and that is how it's designed. A car is not defective by design because it can't fly like a helicopter. It is what it is.

Stop work for the corporations then. You do have a choice.Without greed, we would not be were we are today since no one would have anything to strive towards. Money is the only thing that really motivates people one once said. Think about that for a second.
