Humans have and always will take drugs though and aren't likely to stop any time soon.
People are fuelling God only knows what other crime by taking it though !

Or people could just obey the law, that'd be helpful.You'd probably have to build thousands of new prisons. Good luck with that.

If alcohol was made illegal tomorrow but you still had easy access to a few pints would you stop drinking?Or people could just obey the law, that'd be helpful.
Yes.If alcohol was made illegal tomorrow but you still had easy access to a few pints would you stop drinking?

But why? You've been drinking for years. You know you're not causing any problems and it's just something you do as a social thing with a couple of mates.Yes.

Because it'd be the law. Apart from the damage to my life e.g. losing job etc if I got a criminal record through usage, you can't pick and choose what laws you obey. None of us can sit there and say "well, it's not hurting anyone so I'll do it even though it's against the rules". I hate it when people do that.But why? You've been drinking for years.

Hope they have a stream or clean water supply!I'd be straight up to Coombe abbey building a plant.
Is there a point where you'd draw the line and say this law is nonsense I'm not going to listen. No driving, no sunglasses, no eating after 10, all babies must have their feet bound.Because it'd be the law.

With drugs and drink I don't like the thought of not being in control, I have been hammered about 3 times to the point I haven't been in control and hated it. The thought of chasing dragons and seeing things on Acid etc is not for me.
Isn't that structuring society around the worst of us though. There is violence at football and this disgusting thing happened to Oucho's other half. Should we now ban football as if it 'it stops problems it's worth the nice guys missing out'?its poisen to your body.
and if it stops overall drunken problems then its worth a few nice guys having to miss out on their pint fix
Thats the things isn't it. If the police are basically going to ignore and use is widespread then you've got a huge chunk of the population who are breaking the law. Once they've decided its OK to break one law are they more likely to ignore others they don't agree with?Is there a point where you'd draw the line and say this law is nonsense I'm not going to listen.

You've used some silly examples that aren't real, I can't think of any actual law that would seem so silly that I'd selectively disregard it.Is there a point where you'd draw the line and say this law is nonsense I'm not going to listen.

In Saudi Arabia women can't drive. In China at various points in history there have been laws at various points in history the intentionally injured children. Slavery was legal at one point for christ sake, the law isn't always a decent barometer of what is right.You've used some silly examples that aren't real, I can't think of any actual law that would seem so silly that I'd selectively disregard it.
Read what I said above....just because some things are/were legal when they shouldn't be, doesn't show that it's OK to break the law by doing things that are illegal. I didn't say that there are legal tings that should be banned, ut that if something banned you shouldn't break the ban. Can you come up with a UK example of a law that it's OK to break?In Saudi Arabia women can't drive.

Drinking serves a purpose though, its harmless entertainment.football serves a purpose though, its harmless entertainment.
drinking is not harmless. even if you are not an arsehole when you consume its still not good for your liver at end of the day and alters your brain
But then they'd never be footballers! B-)Is there a point where you'd draw the line and say this law is nonsense I'm not going to listen. No driving, no sunglasses, no eating after 10, all babies must have their feet bound.
Makes sense to me because it gives landlords the right to refuse alcohol to drunk people and also gives them the right to kick out drunks if they need to. Fair enough.That it's illegal to be drunk in a pub?

yeah me too, had para attack on greenstuff once, quit the day after
Actually Saudi only stopped slavery in the 1960's because of the universal declaration of human rights, but there is a righly critisised Islamic version of this Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam - Wikipedia which is aimed more at preventing criticism of the religion rather than protecting human rights.In Saudi Arabia women can't drive.

Just because you didn't like something does that mean everybody else shouldn't be allowed either?
