As if to further support the notion that parents do not necessarily have their kids' interest in mind all the time, I have come across parents who actively harm their kids. Physically no less. No no, I am not talking about child abuse, that is oh so ubiquitous that it does not warrant any special mention. I am instead referring to the common sight of smokers lighting up in the presense of their own offspring.
I just can't believe anyone would be so self-absorbed in pursuing what they like to do that they would mess up their kids' physical development. Any potential a child has in sports would be smoked out by their retarded parents. Thank God, mental incompetence isn't hereditary.
Or is it? We have all read about the 'monkey see, monkey do' attitude kids adopt whenever they are around mummy or daddy dearest. We have even witnessed it first hand, cue incidences of daddy kicking a football, and junior attempting to follow suit, only to split his bum falling down. Only this time the kid might actually succeed in imitating his parent, since smoking is so easy that the fools have no trouble doing it. And by actually upgrading to first hand smoking, the kids themselves are also therefore accorded the status of 'Retarded'. With a vicious cycle like this, is there any hope left for mankind?

Nice to see you smoking smoking parents. Ever done it in public?
By the way, you might want to edit the links in the side bar. Just click on them to learn some neat tricks.
Nah, it's their own spawn, I won't be the one feeling the pain when the kids die of lung cancer, and I won't be the one paying their medical fees for having asthma.
k, thx for the tip.
Mankind builds its own pinnacle only to meet with its own demise. I believe smoking is a relatively frivolous issue to be addressed.
