I mean, I personally think it's stupid when people bitch about a monument (usually small and no one really pays attention to it) that has the ten commandments or some plaque somewhere in a building that has them on. But I understand why they have to be taken down if someone makes a complaint because they are right legally speaking.majorspark;415310 wrote:You pass the "hypocrite" test.

We (this forum) had this discussion during Christmas, I think. Legally speaking, our government hasn't forced the 10 Commandments on anybody or forced a tax on a state sponsored religion, so I'm not sure how "legally right" that would be.I Wear Pants;415935 wrote:I mean, I personally think it's stupid when people bitch about a monument (usually small and no one really pays attention to it) that has the ten commandments or some plaque somewhere in a building that has them on.

Doesn't mean it still isn't stupid.

It isn't simply one food. Soda definitely is a contributing factor to obesity and things like diabetes because some people think it's okay to drink a twelve pack a day. But it's not soda alone or even soda's fault. Stupid people are to blame.ccrunner609;416480 wrote:If they think that soda is causing obesity...they are stupid.
Yeah...we wouldn't want parents to have to deal with those choices for their kids. Better let the government do it for us.I Wear Pants;416621 wrote:It isn't simply one food.

I am okay with them removing soda from places like school lunch rooms and even places where children are often (public pools come to mind). But they shouldn't outright ban them or anything. Just stop selling soda in those places.
So why ban drugs?believer;416778 wrote:Yeah...we wouldn't want parents to have to deal with those choices for their kids. Better let the government do it for us.

Did you see weed in my list of drugs that can be lethally administered in one dose? I am ok with weed being legal if the respective states and localities allow it. As for powerful pain medications they are currently legal. You just need a professionals approval on dosage and need. And no as a society it would not be responsible for us to allow Joe schmuck on the streets to decide who gets what dosage of powerful painkillers and disperse to them as he see fit.I Wear Pants;417403 wrote:Weed?
So are we going to ban pain medications, cough syrups, any other number of things that can kill in one dose?
Why is one nanny state policy okay and another not?
