How does it impact your life? I don't drive drunk. Last night I threw a party, had a beer at the beginning, won three games of beer pong, sat down and watched some of the Olympics and had another beer. About an hour after my last beer I drove home.
So... I ask again, how did I effect your life in any way shape or form last night?
If I split a bottle of wine over dinner how does that effect you?
How does my not drinking affect YOU in any way?

Here you're suggesting that my view that I could live in a country without alcohol is infringing on the freedom of others whereas I also said
By that logic anyway, your government is oppressive by not allowing you the total freedom to do what you want. They're keeping you from doing cocaine off the ass of a hooker, too, but no one's so quick to get their panties in a knot about that.I wrote:
I know it [Prohibition] didn't work, and I'm not a proponent for legislation to ban it [alcohol] again (because it wouldn't work).
I'm pro-legalization of drugs as well even though I don't do them. Peoples freedom should not be limited simply because people like yourself do not value their freedoms or wish to stamp their personal moral code on society. Unless a person is performing actions that infringe on anothers life there is nothing that should be said about it. If a person commits murder, rape, assault, theft, fraud etc they are infringing on another persons life. If they are driving without wearing a seat belt or smoking weed in their own home (or doing coke off a hooker's ass) then it shouldn't be an issue. It's their life to fuck up, it's not your life to 'save'.DesertFox- wrote:

I prefer to do my coke off of a hookers tits. I find too much of it tends to get lost in her ass-crack otherwise, and I never really want to go digging around in there to get the rest of it back.
Good show, but what the fuck are you talking about? I've not said anything about restricting the personal freedoms of others, which is what you misinterpreted my view on page 1 to say and are reiterating here, despite the fact that my previous post elaborates how I was only referring to myself.JohnG@lt wrote:

No kid, it was you who didn't understand the ramifications of what he was saying. "It's ok if they ban this or that, I don't do it anyway" is a far too common statement in our society. You don't value your freedoms because you've never been in a situation where you've lost them. I have and I value every last precious one.DesertFox- wrote:

Fine, go off the topic because you can't back up your previous statements. I'm a communist and don't value my freedom because I'm a spoiled, bean-counting, uptight prick.JohnG@lt wrote:

I haven't gone off topic in the slightest. You made a statement. You didn't truly understand the statement you were making and now you're trying to deflect. Next time think a bit before saying something like 'Oh, I wouldn't mind if this was a dry country'. This is a statement saying that you would willingly vote away your freedoms (and that of others) if it ever came up for a vote.DesertFox- wrote:

Bullshit, Galt. I've told you multiple times exactly what I'm saying, and since you picked a fight but have figured out you had no reason to, bring up the freedom argument.

This is a clear statement that you would in fact try to ban alcohol if you thought the ban would be effective.DesertFox- wrote:
I know it didn't work, and I'm not a proponent for legislation to ban it again (because it wouldn't work). As a dry country, I mean that in a way that no one would even want alcohol, but it's a pipe dream because intoxication is just so damn tightly integrated into our culture.

I suppose you could claim that, but then again I also state right there that legislation to ban it would be ineffective. The only way we'd be able to get rid of alcohol in this country is if everyone just decided not to consume it, which isn't going to happen.JohnG@lt wrote:

There is a reason for the age limit on alcohol, just like there is a reason for the laws on drunk driving, or against drugs, etc.
And I am pretty certain you'll acknowledge that.
No civil society can exist when people have all their freedoms. People just ain't that good.
Well it's the parents job to watch over their fucking kids isn't it? Age limit for alcohol doesn't work... Kids will still get booze no matter what.B.Schuss wrote:

Freedom is messy. You and I may not agree with the actions that people take within the bounds of their freedom but we must absolutely respect their right to exercise that freedom. I do not, and will not accept limitations on my freedom outside of the boundaries of physical protection from others.B.Schuss wrote:

If I want to get drunk I am hurting no one but myself. If I get into a car and decide to drive drunk I am negatively impacting others on the road around me and causing them to needlessly be in danger. Do you see the difference? What I do to myself is no ones business but my own.
