Is alcohol scheduled? Is it regulated? I feel like morons are making excuses for control because it’s got stigma. You know the real reason weed is a schedule 1?
I'd love for alcohol to be scheduled too. Make 'em all Schedule V. I'm tired of seeing "First DUI" cases get slaps on the wrist and a driving course.
Take your prohibitionist bullshit and shove it puritan. Wanna lower DUIs then advocate for expansions to public transit.
Eat my entire ass, you drug-addled hippy. Nobody wants public transit. We're not gonna all hold hands a sing kumbaya while we snort coke together. Alcohol and all of these substances are for people who don't have the steel to handle the real world on their own. You're weak, and you need substances to abuse in order to continue on your pathetic existence.
I don't do drugs, and I'm not religious - and I see you twats out here bitching about everything and never doing anything about it; pretending like riding the bus is gonna save the world. Get real, kid.
Wow. Just wow.
There are plenty of reasons to drink a beer other than not having the "steel to handle the real world" on your own.
For instance, having to deal with annoying pricks like yourself.
Greetings from europe, I fucking love trains. Trains are the best. Would recommend trains every day.
Your country is the size of one of our large cities.
Which country and city are we talking about?
Europe is a far more dense place than America. Public transit makes sense there. The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in the USA.
It gets even better: I can just walk to the grocery store and ride my bicycle to work.
Do the US really build neighbourhoods without stores in walking distance?
Aw did a strike a nerve puritan, sorry to break it to ya but im one of my clean kinsmen fun thing about extreme genetic drug resistance ya dont feel shit to it. Alcohol taste like shit as well, closest I get is sweet cider.
I just aint into telling folks what to do, so long as it aint too damaging to other folks. Plus im bound to the bloodlust of mine kin not the alcoholism of mine ancestors. Regardless what you see as a moral failure I see as what is folks enjoying themselves. Sure it can be self destructive but whomst am I to judge I enjoy fighting to a utterly unhealthy degree.
So in summary can ya go feed thineself to a Joshua Tree theys gettin' hungry.
