cant tell you how many times ive been out with people who drove to the bar b/c theyre ‘only gonna have one or two’ and of course that turns into 3 or 4 or 5 and of course they THINK theyre fine to drive.. i dont get it..
sounds like you all need to work on willpower. Simps. On that note, why do bars even have parking lots? They should be banned since it only tempts people to drive there...

I love people who spout off about how others should live their lives all the while screaming about the grubberment staying out of their own. Live as I do but don't tell me how to live. Wonderful.

Maybe. And that's how we should approach meth and such: no need for jail if someone's not robbing or stabbing, but you don't have to give idiots the time of day.

It's not as unpopular as you think.

Everything has externalities. Someone voting democrat has significantly more impact on me than local miscreants being same in their home or stumbling down the street. Once they break into my home, however? That's different. You just can't really be legislating morals. Criminalize more directly criminal acts and let a healthy society take care of the rest.

That's more risky, shall we say, but it's freedom. And I trust people to regulate people more than legislators and bureaucrats.

Never trust a man without at least one vice.

Nah.

Save the stigmas for more important things like being a fatass, a dumbass and a lazy arse.

Those three groups are costing us a shite ton of money every day.

IDGAF opinion: If you’re an adult you shouldn’t care about peer pressure.

The only thing i think should be stigmatized way more than it is is drinking and driving.. not drunk driving, but drinking at all and then deciding to drive.. people joke around way too much about it, and it’s very acceptable in most circles, even though it should be looked at as the absolute trashiest thing in the world you can do .


This especially with Uber being a thing. I can’t believe there are dumb laws with more penalties than DUI.

It is pathetic going to a place like Tunica and seeing poor people blow 100s of dollars that they don’t have. But those kind of people will always find a way to blow their money. It’s who they are and why they are in the position that they’re in

I like to gamble, but its about money management. I don't care what other people think.

What about hookers?
