I wanna get drunk

[Laudate_Dominum]

Yeah, we are bombarded with so much nonsense propaganda, I tend to be skeptical toward phishy statements regarding controversial subjects. If there are people lobbying against it, there is a good chance there are people doing everything they can to spread propaganda about it.
I was reading yesterday about how fish love and are intelligent, and even use tools!! Therefore we shouldn't eat fish, they are just like us.. It takes some serious propaganda to convince people of that nonsense, but they actually succeed. My favourite part is that one tract would make you love fish as if they were your family member, and another tract would talk about how filthy and repulsive fish are, making them sound like they are poisonous to make you never want to eat fish again.

Are they cute and fluffy, or filthy and disgusting? As long as you go with their agenda of not eating fish I doubt they care what you think.

Ya know, I have a 20 gallon fish tank and I don't seen any tools floating around in there. In fact, I'm willing to bet if I tossed in a tiny screw driver the only thing they'd try to do is eat it.

Jesus did, most kids in Europe do... it's unjust to have any drinking age at all- the drinking age itself is the cause of people drinking irresponsibly.  but yeah, that's our messed up culture for you... it's because it's built upon the sand of protestantism.

taste changes as you get older only because we've unwisely structured our culture that way

Wrong. If you look back at some of the other posts in this thread you'll see that drunkenness begins when you begin to lose control of your faculties, ability to reason, etc. (I am sure someone else will better explain it than I can). Not being able to remember, passing out, or getting sick is when you crossed the line into "drunk" quite a few drinks ago.

Oh, and one more warning: too much alcohol can make you fat.

I just realized how strange I must seem giving warnings about the pitfalls of booze. Look at my avatar.

:haha:



Papa Ratzi's always been a disciplined gentleman, though.

Dude, your avatar is the coolest thing I've seen in... months probably. I love it.

alright, so i guess the limit is where you can dance without being embarrased and do stupid stuff but not like where your hand starts moving by itself and feel sick or what?

This is the answer:

Don Juan de Austria, a noble bastard child, and one of my heroes,

[jmjtina]

On a side note, I heard that Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, to this day are permitted by special dispensation, to ride horses into Church. Not only that, but they have the faculty to legitimize bastards!

:rotfl:
you have alot of wierd sidenotes that crack me up!

are you drinking?

[Laudate_Dominum]

In 1553, Pope Julius III, gave the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem powers; 1. to legitimize bastards; 2.to change a name given in baptism; 3.to pardon prisoners they might meet on the way to the scaffold; 4.to possess goods belonging to the Church even though they were laymen; 5.to be exempt from all taxes; 6.to cut down a man found hanging on a gallows and order him to be given a Christian burial; 7.to wear brocaded silk garments reserved for knights and doctors; 8.to enter a church on horseback; 9.to fight against the Infidel. These privileges were approved by successive Popes, with the last privilege omitted by Pope Benedict XIV.
Claiming to be the oldest Order in Christendom, the Order of the Holy Sepulchre held a high esteem.


And yes, I'm drinking. But this is a quote from an official source.
