> I wont say who but i have family in one if the top tobacco companies in the US and I can tell you with absolute certainty taxes had a massive effect on cigarette consumption, everytime taxes have been raised industry growth has had to be revised down at this point the cigarette business is in decline from taxes they are only losing smokers. Taxes, alternatives, health education and shame are all a part of it. Correlation or causation though? Keep in mind that at the same time there were heavy social engineering programs against smoking. >I agree with you on exercise. schools should seriously commit to improving physical education standards; frankly I think this has social, political, racial, and cultural issues tied up in it. Yeah. I figure having some general standards would help, like stamina and strength, but leave it up to the student and the school to find specific methods of achieving those. Like offer a range of classes to students (wrestling, boxing, biathlon, track and field, soccer etc.) and let students pick the one that suits them. >Niggers dominate sports in public schools and this makes reasonable people who know to avoid the groid want to avoid those sports. I grew up in a heavily integrated school district, every public school kid I knew that was white and played sports got stomped out by a pack of niggers if they ever out performed the wrong people, some schools that meant beating the best nigger at 3 pointers in a shoot off or never missing a single block as a goalie in soccer or being the quarterback or kicker on the winning team. this drove whites in my area out of sports and because teams became 90% nigs most whites never even considered joining they either went for white people only sports if offered or melted into mall/hangout culture or videogames. In my middle school Soccer team was for spics, football and basketball were for nigs if you were in the wrong gang and were holding a spot on the team when the bigger gang wanted it its members would tell you to leave like it was a joke and then break your arm on the bus or have some of the older guys in the gang waiting for you when you got off. Huh, interesting. I hadn't considered that a problem before. Makes me wonder how artificial black dominance in US professional sports might be. >We could improve so much with niggers out of the way, a weightlifting club, course, or team at a highschool where I'm from is actually unthinkable, niggers would steal shit, break the equipment or flooring, pick fights or jump line to use equipment. Yeah. They don't have critical mass where I live, but their behaviour when I go abroad always catches me off guard. >The YMCA and churches had youth programs where whites could play sports and lift in peace. And at the time those programs were only a about the same price to get into as a school team. They typically had a lower focus on winning though because tryouts were more to see if the kids wanted to play than if the coaches wanted them. Might as well be organizing a lifting group that shares Xbox usernames at this point. Honestly, private groups like that might be a better place to organise. Schools are always going to be wound up with all kinds of institutional lefty BS.
