How did prohibition go badly in the case of alcohol?

Are you talking about how there was resistance to it at all?

Fun fact: The Native Americans had no concept of land ownership. It's how "Squatter's Rights" was used to justify European occupation of native lands.

To the natives, land was meant to be used, not owned. For Europeans, they would look at a section of land and say "Who owns this? Nobody? Well, I guess it's mine now."

Being raised in a world dominated by European ideals, it's easy to disregard how those ideals may have been challenged and if we really received the best outcome.

Is calling a MTF transperson a man considered 'transphobia' in your mind?

Do you honestly believe people should be imprisoned for it?

Kind of pathetic how we still have to solve the issue of cutting up baby dicks as ritual.

Egypt's worse; they still cut off the clits of preteen girls as ritual.

Jews and Egyptians aren't even trying to hide it. They do it specifically to reduce the sensitivity of sexual organs.

Christians are the useful idiots (as always) who have been duped into thinking it's for 'medical' or 'aesthetic' purposes. In all honesty, Christians cut up the dicks of their kids because the dad's dick was cut up for him and he doesn't want to admit there's something wrong with it.

Different drugs, which is why considerably more people smoked marijuana while it was illegal than did cocaine.

And also, at what cost? Look at how many lives are ruined because of the war on drugs. Look at how many resources are wasted enforcing it.

Tobacco usage is already a fraction of what it was decades ago.

And everything he's saying about tobacco can be applied to, you guessed it, alcohol! So we should make booze illegal again? Because that worked out so well the first time?

(to play devil's advocate, I also think that alcohol has a much greater case for being outlawed than tobacco for the collective harm it does to society)

Upvoted for sharing the truth.

I've just been thinking about how the Earth is generally dirtier than it has ever been.

Making all this plastic was a huge mistake, and the generation that was duped into supporting it won't be around to live with the consequences.

Herding sheep.

I disagree.

Like a religion, a cut-rate anime show should not be our rallying call.

This is only getting publicity because of fanboys, and we should be above exploiting their naivete for our own gains.

Essentially, producers and leeches.

it's a big reason why everything is so expensive, yet quality is shit across the board.

Too many people getting paid without a purpose, and too many useful idiots without the gumption to say or do anything about it.
