What is the greastest life lesson you've learned so far?

Be yourself, truly and completely. 
It's a lot easier said than done, though.

Is it fair that cigarettes don’t have to list additives when other products do?

To balance out the skewed statistics, here's a list of 51 chemicals you may find in cigarette smoke:

Apple juice concentrate, extracts, and skins
Bay leaf oil
Beeswax
Beet juice concentrace
Butter and butter oil
Caffeine
Capsicum oleoresin
Carrot oil
Celery seed extract
Cinnamon leaf oil, bark oil, and extract
Citric acid
Cocoa
Coconut oil
Dandelion root solid extract
Dill seed oil and extract
Fig juice concentrate
Geranium rose oil
Ginger oil
Grape juice concentrate
Honey
Hydrolyzed milk solids
Jasmine oil
Lavender oil
Lemon oil and extract
Licorice rot
Lime oil
Malt and malt extract
Maple syrup and concentrate
Molasses extract and tincture
Nutmeg power and oil
Oak chips extract and oil
Orange oil and extract
Parsley seed oil
Peppermint oil
Pine needle oil
Pineapple juice concentrate
Plum juice
Prune juice and concentrate
Raisin juice concentrace
Rosemary oil
Rum
Sage oil
Sandalwood oil
Spearmint oil
Sugars
Tea leaf and absolute
Vanilla extract and oleoresin
Water
Wheat extract and flour
Wine and wine sherry
Yeast

In other words, just because a hypothetical cigarette has 51 additives doesn't mean it has 51 toxic additives.  Give us truth, not rigged statistics.

Also, are the toxic chemicals in cigarettes additives?  Or byproducts too?  Adding something is one thing, burning it is another.

If I were to make a statement to TRUTH, it would be this:  Stop the shady campaigns.  Give us truth, not drama and embellished numbers.  Give us an arguement, not propaganda.  I agree with your anti-smoking campaign, but your commercials and advertisements are so ridiculous and stupid that I pay absolutely no attention to them.  Try something more intriguing than a bunch of people pushing stretchers and then pretending they're dead.  I quit smoking, but I find myself tempted to light up just to spite you and your pathetic commercials.

In what ways are you similar to your mother?

1.  I got my hair from my mother (and her mother).  Many people (especially balding people) have commented on it, which leads me to believe that although it's a lose-lose situation trying to fix my hair, I should be thankful for it.
2.  I'm low-cost.  My father was in the Navy.  He was deployed on a submarine when I was born, which means he couldn't be around to help take care of me (hence the reason he separated with the Navy at the next available opportunity).  My mother had to take care of me by herself on a military income, and between that and being raised with seven siblings on a farm, she wasn't one to waste money.
3.  I have her last name.  She got it from my dad though, so that's probably a better answer for the 'How are you similar to your father?' question (which would have way more than 3 answers)
4.  That's about it.  I love my mother and wouldn't substitute anyone for her.  I think she did a great job raising me.  I can really only come up with those three answers though.

What makes someone a "good person"?

I think a better question would be "Who decides what a 'good person' is?"

What is something you feel you can do better than anyone else?

I saw this question and I didn't answer it at first because I felt that no matter what answer I gave, the question is worded such that it would sound like I was saying 'I am the best in the world at [said activity]'.  No matter what you do, you'll always do it better than someone, and someone will always do it better than you. 
And then an answer hit me... 
Better than anyone else (in the world), I can understand why I make the decisions I make.
