Holy shit! Now you can catch fat? I know you can catch gay, but fat, good god man! Damn liberals!

Being fat is entirely up to your diet, the point is gentlemen, that being fat doesn't mean that your spreading terrible diseases, yes it could mean that you yourself will have a lower life expectancy, but it doesn't mean that other people will, unlike smoking, smoking in a public place is gross and wrong.

Yeah, because that worked *so well* last time around: it's not like banning alcohol will give a big boost to organized crime that will stay on for decades after the prohibition is once again lifted.

Alcohol is a stance I take on differently, for unlike public smoking, it doesn't necessarily harm the people who don't take it, however it can affect them in the form of a drunken person beating you, in which case you should report it to the police.


Look, there is enough smuggling of alcohol without you propagating an another nation to ban alcohol.
Banning alcohol is just never smart in the light of punishments and records of the nations that once banned alcohol and got over it.
This way madness lies.

I didn't say anything about banning alcohol at all, all that I said is to report druken people who hurt you to the police, simple as that.
