Alcohol must be removed from the equation if we are to have any chance of improving our politics.
Ignoring me instead of challenging my viewpoints. Typical. One day, you'll no longer be able to do that.
Lucas Sullivan

Ryan Ramirez
Nonsense. Following that logic all the way through, nearly all laws are immoral.
Grayson Rivera
>Laws are meant to protect the people from themselves
no, that's the exact opposite purpose of laws. Laws are there to protect you from everyone else.

People like to to things that are unhealthy. It's their choice and your totalitarian mindset won't change that. Now, shouldn't you be finding out what your girl is doing when she leaves the house and starts walking towards the migrant neighborhood every night?

Easter Island heads were constructed by the islands' inhabitants until they literally worked themselves to death. The statues were basically one big dick measuring contest: who could build the most, who could please the gods? They built these things, neglected their agriculture, then starved, yet they kept building. When you think of all the symbols of world culture, those heads are easily in the top twenty list.

Alcohol is not the number one killer of anyone. Do you know what it feels like to be stripped, bound, positioned, mounted and raped by a tame bear?
Charles Gray

Tried it. Didn't work. Look at Prohibition 1920s America. Don't like the German culture? Get the fuck out of Germany.

its nice to see this thread not be about weed for once. i still think everything should be legal. education just has to be better

so you are asking for a reason, MORAL OR OTHERWISE, as to why alcohol should be legal?
because i want it, and there is literally nothing anybody can do to stop me from getting/making alcohol

having a vineyard and making exquisite wines is a great and rewarding hobby in many regions of my country
beer is a good refreshment after doing some hard work or chilling in the summer heat
spirits can be masterfully blended using various flavours, barrels and stored in folk-artsy bottles, they work fine both as apperitifs and getting really fucked up once in a blue moon

Jordan Cox
Ok let me tell you something... pssst...they tried that in the US. Spoiler: It did not work, at all.
You don't change anything by banning guns, booze, or tits. You have to change people's minds to not behave like retarded vermin.

No wonder it's just another stain on the cloth of Europe.

Fuck off Ahmed, you have no say in what I put into my body or not. I wasn't going to drink today, grabbing a beer now goatfucker.

That's extremely difficult to do with alcoholics. They have a habit of drinking until their cognitive ability is diminished enough to stop caring about what's right.

People will do all kinds of shit to make their lives miserable. They've done it in the past, the are doing it right now and they will always do it.
If you ban alcohol, people will find other ways to send themselves into oblivion.

Camden Martin
Why on earth would prohibition be more effective now than then?
Matthew Scott
Uh no.
Remember the prohibition? Prohibition of anything increases it's value in the free market and therefore creates criminals who profit from it. As time goes on, more and more organized crime gets involved. If you want to reduce crime, you legalize everything. Methamphetamine, Cocaine, you name it. Legalization allows age regulation and severely hurts organized crime. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

This. As society advances people become more and more pigeon holed into highly specialized, monotonous roles. People need escapism and those that work certainly deserve it.

Jordan Robinson
The stupidity of some does never make banning stuff for everyone else a right thing. period.
Matthew Cooper
No fuckface, because when you start at one thing it becomes a slippery slope of shit you ban.
Alright, so lets say they re ban alcohol. What's next? Some 300,000 people die each year due to obesity related causes alone, ban big macs? I mean, I understand it's already haram for you, but it's not for everyone else. Then what? Dangerous activities? Sky diving? Rock climbing? Racing? Anything that can hurt anyone ever?
Go back home to your sharia controlled dry country if you want prohibition.

Make them accomodate their extra strain on the health system. Of course that only goes for countries in which socialized health care is a thing. In your country, they get special scooters so the fast food and corn syrup industries can continue to profit off them.

I've never been a massive drinker, but like most Brits when I do drink its in a fiendish binge habit way.
It's clear from from how I feel the next two days the stuff is poison, so I keep off it except once/twice a month. The harm that must do to me long term is minimal, and it's a small risk I'll take in return for blowing off steam and having a good times with friends.
So all said fuck off with your authotarian bullshit, neckbeards like you need deal with your own shit before you preach to other people with how regards to they handle theirs.
I respect the notion of abstinence to drugs/drink, and can see the clear benefits of it. But every person I meet who doesn't drink is such a preachy lame autistic cunt I can't help but head straight for the bar.
Owen Roberts

Most of the problems are because nonwhites can't handle it.

Ryder Hill

Good point I admit, but a significant portion of that is caused by tobacco, which should also be forbidden.
Landon Baker
Fuck off Hassan, I'm having beer with my bbq.
Lucas Anderson
I have nothing against drugs either, for all I care you could shoot heroin in broad daylight, as long as you don't harm anyone else, for example: my hometown I grew up in had a group of about a dozen older junkies, their behaviour, appearance and eventual deaths served as the greatest deterrent ever to thousands upon thousands of highschool children who saw explicitly what becomes of an individual when they start using hard drugs; anecdotal for sure but demonstrates my point perfectly
before you mention it, expensive monopolistic universal healthcare can fuck off as well, I needed mine on 3 separate occasions and 2/3 I was disgusted by the subpar diagnostic and treatment options I was given, so I had to shell out considerable cash to private practices in order to receive 21st century treatment
in fact I believe that taking away personal responsibility from an individual in order to delegate it to nanny state through legislature in our modern history is the very reason many social problems even exist, even make new ones like opportunities for organized crime wherever some clandestine and risky illegal activity is involved
you cannot legislate people's wants and desires, forbidden fruit is the sweetest, where there's a will there's a way etc etc

You live in a coddled nanny state and think that the world needs more victimless crimes. You're obviously either young and foolish, or old and stupid, and either way I pity you and hope that you look at the world more objectively in the future.

Aaron Butler

That's not a good reason to allow a mostly unregulated alcohol industry that's too powerful for any government to get in the way of. At the very least, it should be demolished and minimized as much as possible.
Nathaniel Adams
How about this: Nobody does anything bad or wrong that could possibly lead to destruction or other misfortune ever, and those that do engage in risky activities that trade higher mental faculties for a state of elation should be jailed. Then everyone can live happy and love each other while ignoring the immoral beverage that has become part of the human experience.

And sadly my country is not far behind in that desire to rule over all aspects of its citizens lives. That's why people who unironically foam at the mouth to control other people's degeneracy are so damn irritating.
Oliver Davis
Ahaha, go back to your anarchist forum.
Lucas Hernandez
Saying most laws are immoral isn't much of an argument either, it's just a statement. You seem pretty butthurt, why don't you just cut your internet seeing as governments helped build the infrastructure for you to use it anyway.
Jackson Gonzalez
It's not even close to monopoly. There's plenty of room for small breweries to sell their poison for profit and create healthy competition. I've never heard of a brewery holding a government hostage.
Christian Perez
I said mostly unregulated. I reckon the US is much different in this regard, but in Europe, very few governments dare to prosecute the alcohol industry.
