Why Do People Breathe?

[Revoltingest]

I tried to stop breathing so I could be different than everyone else, but all I did was turn blue. Blue doesn't become my face.

Yeah....social acceptance drives the need to breathe.
I was hoping that the movie Avatar would increase acceptance of the "blues", but alas, that hasn't yet happened in this intolerant society.
Bush was a breather, btw. Nuff said.

 

[Songbird]

Bump because people are still doing it.

 

[blackout]

In an attempt to put an end to this practice,
we are slowly replacing the air with smog.

Believe it or not, there are some evil people out there
who are actively opposing such actions.

Go figure.

Yeah, I call em "Breathers". Breathers want clean air and all sorts of ridiculous things.

 

[Sunstone]

Breathers either don't know or, more likely, just don't care how many communicable diseases they may be exhaling.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

You are now manually breathing! (Probably blinking too)

 

[Songbird]

Breathers continue to insist on existing near me. Jeez.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I bet it chaps your gums to know that I'm inhaling, exhaling AND existing right now, doesn't it? I don't care - I'm going to keep on doing it anyhow.

How do one's gums get chapped?

Too much breathing, I suppose.

I'm mostly sure I didn't make up the expression.

Haven't they heard of the greenhouse effect and global warming, for crying out loud? You would think they would have more consideration for the environment.

 

[Awoon]

Is it just to anger others? Don't they realize they're cherry-picking? I saw this one guy, and boy was he ever breathing. And he knew I was standing there. Right in plain sight.

People breathe so threads like this one can be started?

 

[Debater Slayer]

It's sad. If I don't breathe I will be looked down upon, disparaged and scorned. I have to breathe against my will to save myself from all the bullying I will endure if I don't.

 

[Me Myself]

I think we should go one step further and teach animals to stop breathing.

It´s so egotistical to only think about us! Think on the poor animals everywhere that still have to stand breathing beings!

 

[9Westy9]

It's terrible. Why can't people just do photosynthesis and stuff. Far more convenient.

Don't worry, you're not alone. We'll fight this together, stand strong friend.

Just take a deep breath and... oh wait.

I was complaining to this one woman about it, and she had the nerve to point out I was being hypocritical. Well, I'm not about to take that kind of honesty lying down.

 

[Me Myself]

Why are there saints that could miraculously stop eating but no saints that miraculously stopped breathing?

It´s a serious lack of consiousness in this issue.

I suspect there's a strong connection there.
