Just relax brah!
This is one topic on which I feel very strongly.
Americans have a problem. A big problem. They ignore the facts in order to hold some tradition which they really don't understand in the first place. The perfect example is MARIJUANA. The "gateway drug" that has supposedly ruined so many adolescents lives. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself WHY marijuana is illegal? If you're able to answer that question, you probably have come up with something along the lines that it's bad for you. FALSE. Marijuana is not addictive, there has been no conculusive research to say it's a gateway drug, and alcohol is more poisonous per usage. But then ask yourself this. WHY SHOULD IT BE ILLEGAL EVEN IF IT IS BAD FOR YOU Since when did the government have the right to tell you what to do with your body? I should have the right to do with my body as I please, and there have been no conclusive studies pointing to any extreme dangers of marijuana usage.
But lets' go back to why marijuana actually is illegal. To keep it short, it's hard to tax, and the law was established back in the day for racist reasons. The name marijuana was popularized by the government because it sounded spanish and scared the American public. The man who was responsible for getting marijuana banned from our houses claimed that this poison was making the degenerate races even more dangerous than before.
Sounds like a pretty good reason to me!
People need to educate themselves if they wish to live in a completely free society. Just because something does not comform to your morals, or is not appeasing to you, does not mean it should be illegal. A free society is one in which people are free to do anything they please as long as it does not harm others. You can't pick and choose things that are okay to you, and rule out actions or speech that you find undesireable...
So please, officer, explain to me what the problem is?
ICE COLD BEER HERE
You know what sucks? The line at sports venues when you're waiting for disgruntled employees behind a bar to pour out overpriced Bud Lights for thirty or so already drunken meatheads in front of you. While there's not much you can do to make the meatheads disappear, the Scotsman Trufill Beverage Dispenser can at least get rid of most of the line (and some of the angry pourers) by raining out a whopping 10 pints of beer in just 10 seconds.
The system works using a special cup, which allows drinks to be filled from the bottom rather than the top. For drinks that require ice, an added ice dispenser dumps cubes in from the top while the drink is being filled from the bottom. According to the company, fast pour times with almost no spill mean that the Trufill could end up saving 75 percent to 80 percent on labor costs. Though judging by how much the price of beer goes at Yankee Stadium, I doubt that'll ever translate onto the consumer's receipts.
Beer me beer man.
