Really? Tell me, please, which one of the following quotes has me saying that? I must be blind:

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur "No drinking till you're 19" seems like a pretty blanket statement to me. What if I'm mature at 17?

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur Yes I am. Not constantly, but "personal use" means drinking. I don't know what other uses for drinkable alcohol there are.

quote:

Originally posted by AwakenedAddict You example is pretty off-target as well. Someone who is 17 is still a minor, this means that they are not their own legal guardian and are not totally responsible for their actions in all circumstances.

You wanna split hairs? We'll split hairs: let's make the person buying the alcohol 18.

Well none your your posts said that. However, you did quote me and highlight my post in a manner that made it look like you questioned the fact that firemen were sober on the job. (the O'RLY post). That and you pretty much confirmed it in the following quoted-post.

Originally posted by AwakenedAddict Are you insinuating that because people are allowed to possess alcohol at their workplace, they are constantly drunk?

I did question that they were sober on the job. But I did not say that they were "drunk bastards who can't help but drink on the job". What made me question that? The fact that they had a bar inside their workplace, which was open to the employees for "personal use". Now, short of bartenders, I can't think of any profession where your managers would be okay with you bringing a Crown Royal bottle and setting it on the desk, and then when they undoubtedly ask you about it, you just reply, "Oh, it's okay, it's for personal use you see."

I just had to.

Question for the ban-wagoners:

Life functioned great in our society for 250 years. Based on the chicken littles out there banning everything left right and centre, life should have been nothing but anarchy as little as 30 years ago. Its a wonder we survived this long without government regulations and laws covering everything from sun tanning to smoking! WOW thank god we now life in a safe country!

NOTHING has changed except people's now selfish mentalities

First, where is the question you speak of?

Second, I support what you're saying about bannings, but now you're just becoming an extremist. Maybe anarchy is the solution then? Clearly, the current way of life is NOT working.
