Thread: Nanny State Strikes Again!

There is nothing wrong with socialists. Theyre better than fascists any day at least

Well, as previously stated, there are still dry counties in the south. No alcohol allowed, period. Pretty messed up, 'specially when your yankee butt gets stopped by a state trooper and you have a case of beer in the truck....

Spoken from experience. Nice fella that trooper.

Now you just be thankful it was a State Trooper and not no County Policeman or you would have been in a real heap of trouble.

Are you saying there are some counties that you aren't allowed to buy in another country and bring it home?

I had no idea.

I hope I don't stir up a hornets nest, but I remember as a kid that ALL the stores were closed on Sunday. You know what else? It seemed like people had more time to spend with their families. If you wanted to drink, then you picked up something on Saturday, but Sundays were kinda reserved for families. Not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, I hate working on Sundays and don't think anyone else should have to either...

I'm not that old and I remember stores being closed on Sunday. If I remember right, the only things that were open on Sundays were restraunts and establishments owned and operated by Jewish people(becuse these places were usually closed on Saturdays).

The rhetorical equavalent of what stinks worse pig crap or dog crap? But before I rush to judgement perhaps I should take a look at all those places where Socialism has worked wonderfully, you know, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, Cuba, Iceland, North Korea, all those countries are doing swell, right? Regretably there are factions in my own country who can't wait to be just like them. To those folks I would merely point out that in the United States, there are airplanes departing for most, if not all of these socialist nirvanas daily. Feel free to bust a move. Tyranny is tyranny no matter what color lipstick you put on it.

+1 What he said. Personally, the only difference I see between Socialists and Fascists is the level of violence they are willing to use. Nazi does stand for National Socialist Party after all.

Progressive is just a PC word for Communist.

Sure, other the fact they are at the polar opposite ends of the political spectrum they are exactly the same....

BTW - You do realize that Nazism was not socialism, and that the use of 'Socialist' in their name was in fact a historical misnomer?
