No no no, you've got it all wrong.  Prohibition is what made the mob.  They loved it.

WTF  :wtf: I tought I hit the reply bottun and not new topic!?

Dang...

Oh well..now that the damage is done..time for some intervention..

Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't outlaw alchocol alltogether - after all, it is healthy in small doses and had medicinal purposes. But drinking a glass of wine at lunch is totaly different than getting totlay drunk.

If you checked my first post i specififlcy said that intoxicated persons would be subjected to more severe punishment.
Plain and simple anything that causes addiction and clauds one judgment is bad.

And in case you're wondering - no, I have no problems with alcholocol or drug in my family (thank god!), alltough my uncle is a heavy smoker (WAS actually... he was hospitalized recently and can't smoke anymore or it will kill him)
Nobody dies as a virgin - the life ****s us all!

You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape!

First of all, this thread was split by an admin or a mod because it was irrelivant to the topic of discussion.  Had you read the entire thread (or the thread you thought you had posted in) you would have seen that.

Secondly:

Alcohol = evil.

thank the God I'm not ruler of hte world, for you would be exectued if caught drunk or stoned.

If you'll note, the only real content of your first post was alcohol=evil, followed by a mention of how if you ruled the world you'd execute people for being drunk without qualifying what it means to be drunk.  To me, that says "all alcohol should be banned", especially given your authoritarian preferences in most other things.

Intoxication is a release of one's irrationality. People cannot be compelled to be rational and composed with no opportunity for a temporary release. The ancient Greeks understood this as the Dionysian versus the Apollonian; neither is good or bad, and each depends on the other to complete the whole human being. The key is understanding that there is a time and a place for it, and that it is something to be done in moderation. And of course it's not for everyone. As I mentioned before, I don't particularly like getting drunk. The point is that it's overly simplistic to view intoxication as a plague to be stamped out.

Whoa, I came into this conversation a bit late.

When I first got to this country, I would only drink a little at social occations (not nearly enough to get drunk) and that's it. After I met my girlfriend, she had me promise to never drink any alcohol at all, so of course I promised. I haven't had a drink since.

I don't believe that alcohol in small amounts is such a bad thing, but when people are hooked in it and consider drinking to be more important than work or family, then it is an evil thing.

Given your inclinations to creating a new world order I can see "V for Vodka" i.e. Black Wolf in a mask and wig, taking over your computer and totalling your house with explosives should you ever get your wish TM.

I kind of see it more like stumbling into the PMs office, having scared off the guards by vomiting over them (as we know, all good facists need a tidy uniform), and brandishing an empty bottle.... "Haw, you *hic* persecutional...persacutio....nasty bloke, stop this *hic* pob...proh...prohibitititioni or ah'll...smack....smack ye round the chops, ya bastirt!  Get it right up yes!"

And then vanishing (bouncing off one or 2 walls) into the night.  After a quick slash into a plantpot on the way out, of course.
