Government Protects Virtue
Wonderful that they are banishing tart fuel to maintain standards in society, just like they took the initiative to censor the internet (which they can't really do... yet)

Don't worry, it's only mixed drinks. Gotta keep the kids in line, you know.
__________________Now, whereas, the fine wines that the likes of myself enjoy, civilised folks like myself, we'll be fine. I'd love to see an Australian government try prohibition. I know we're led to believe that today's society is increasingly intolerant and increasingly receptive to some good hard regulation, but I'd love to see the government just try prohibition. I think (and it's not a party thing, both parties are infested with this sort), sooner or later someone will be silly enough to do so. |

^ Over-regulation is always bipartisan; it's just that with an aging population and family first votes floating around it becomes that much more rational to go after some of the simple pleasures (booze, smokes, blasphemy and internet porn).
I personally love the way that the stats are presented, going from 16% to 60% + "an explosion"; it seems more like the premixes garnering the market share previously taken up by goon and stones original green ginger wine. There was another article about the urgent need to get Nuerofen plus onto prescription for the 12.8mg of codeine each tablet contains, the stuff is the moral equivalent of heroin apparently. All it takes is some moron to down 30 paracetamol or asparin to get high for this stuff to kick into a ban. Pity the poor migraine suffers. |

Theiving christian pigs, it already costs over 40 bucks for a bottle of Chivas or Glenlivet and if this mentality continues it may well become dearer. If they want to practice abstinence from drugs and alcohol let them, but using government force to coerce the rest is ethically unsound. On the plus side the price point tips so it is cheaper to just use illegal drugs ![]() Time to start up a still and a meth lab. All this stuff is exasperating; porn, violence in media, guns, alcohol, gay marriage, codeine - all getting banned or blocked - is there no fun to be had anymore? |

As long as Sam Newman is alive the chance of violence in media is high - if you mean censorship they didn't censor anything out of Terminator when it was on recently. And the episodes of Underbelly I downloaded (damn you stupid Victorian legal system!) were pretty full on! Guns have been a big no-no since Martin Bryant went shot happy Tassie style. Can't blame that on Rudd. Alcohol - well the answer to that quandry is blatantly obvious - all the kids should become accountants and get that tax back! Use the system to beat it, yada yada. Gay marriage - I never hear dthat Rudd and co were planning on allowing gay marriage. I agree civil unions should be recognised. Hopefully Vic or WA will just do it at a state level soon. Codeine - I'm stockpiling Nurofen Plus now. I'm gonna make me some eBay money! |

What the hell is an alcopop? Is it that disgusting stuff like Mike's hard lemonade and those awful Smirnoff drinks?
Anybody buying those should be taxed extra on account of poor taste. |
