It's (not) miller time
I keep reading about how Arabs and Muslims are unhappy with the amount of Alcohol in their countries and western views that it's a democratic right (wtf?!) to get a little loud on the weekend if they want to.
First: Communists drank. It wasn't too democratic in the USSR neither was it a terribly liberal place so alcohol is definitely not exclusively the drink of choice for freethinking liberal type westerners.
Second: Isn't democracy the will of the people? If a resounding amount of Arabs want alcohol banned, shouldn't the pro-democracy westerners be jumping on our bandwagon and supporting our rights?
Third: Isn't Alcohol responsible for something near 80% of all domestic violence, murders, rapes and a host of other nasty criminal acts?
So, let's be really really honest. Shouldn't Alcohol just be banned outright worldwide? I mean, if Cannabis is and that's far less conducive to a criminal actions, why not alcohol? (not advocating just asking).
Other things we should ban for the sake of public health and security:
Cars
Fast Food
Anything tobacco related
Ben Affleck movies

You forgot something: cigarettes. I realize that in the UAE no one's read the many studies about "second-hand" smoke (the smoke that comes off the cigarette), but it does, in fact, hurt people. As do your cigarettes!
Of course, everyone here thinks I'm a nut case for thinking that.
