Okay you anti-smoking fanatics go ahead and crucify this woman for smoking while pregnant.

4. You could be right

I understood them to say she is with child, which in our culture means pregnant, but not necessarily in their culture.

13. How could you misread that? The word "a" makes all the difference.

I am an older woman "with 3 children". Breaking news: "senior citizen pregnant with triplets!!"
LOL!

"He also criticized Britain for deploying Leading Seaman Faye Turney, one of the 15 detainees, in the Gulf, pointing out that she is a woman with a child.

"How can you justify seeing a mother away from her home, her children? Why don't they respect family values in the West?" he asked of the British government."

A European smoking when pregnant?

What's next, a German still hanging out in a smoke filled bar puffing away and downing Heffe's like her tongue is on fire? My god could you only imagine.

:sarcasm:

2. Wow. You sure have a narrow focus there.

As a militant anti-smoker, I honestly find it pointless to tell people who have been thinking they might die in five minutes that they could die in twenty years. They're likely to yell, "I'll take it!"

10. What, she suddenly started smoking?

She must have been a smoker before this event. Granted this wasn't a good time to quit.

3. I think at this current moment the damn woman deserves a cigerette

SHE'S BEING HELD HOSTAGE FOR CRIP SAKES

Why are you trying to start an anti-smoking flame-war?

Seriously, I'm anti-smoking and even I can put the damn thing into perspective

Considering what she and the others have been through, I couldn't care less what they fire up.

12. The story I read said with a child not with child.

He also criticized Britain for deploying Leading Seaman Faye Turney, one of the 15 detainees, in the Gulf, pointing out that she is a woman with a child.

"How can you justify seeing a mother away from her home, her children? Why don't they respect family values in the West?" he asked of the British government.

I thought the family values remark would probably upset the RW nutters.

14. Read your link again

It says she is a "woman with A child."

Nice try on flamebait though.
