Now that went somewhere fast, now didnt it? not entirely sure /where/ it went, but it got there fast!

Where it went is where all soberists and fun police take everything. Straight into brainwashing and lies, and if you don't submit to their rule they resort to violence.

Sobriety must be destroyed for this very reason

Who are you to declare what is best for people? A gift? Don't make me laugh. You are obviously forgetting that some of the best writers, poets, and musicians had alcohol as their muse. Typical of a brainwashed, sober, fun policeman. Apparently they didn't teach you that in the Hate Academy.

Don't put words in my mouth. I don't demand anything, more like giving people the opportunity to enjoy their leisure time as they see fit. You, on the other hand, seek to force the masses into obedience and take away their fun. Going to bed at 9? Tyranny at its finest. Charlie Mops would roll in his grave at the thought. We will fight in his name! We will champion his cause!

This is the perfect example of why sobriety must be destroyed along with their brainwashing and lies.


And the men who put us among the stars and invented the stargates and warpdrives are sober! Sobriety is the path to progress and productivity!

My only wish is for all men and women to have a good night's rest, unburdened by the crushing weight of inflated communications and cleaning bills, hangovers, sleep deprivation, and having embarrassing pictures and videos of themselves circulating the Galnet! As well as being able to actually work the next day and not being thumbed down by their bosses! And also possibly produce breakthroughs that will bring us further!

Can't you see? Sobriety is a gift!

You will leave behind your deviant awful singing ways and join us in being productive! And sober!

Sobriety is All!

In Caffeine We Trust!

Unfortunately for you, you don't get to have a say in that matter. You and your group of soberists are nothing more than a group of fascists who are unhappy that you are never invited to the parties. Even the people who invented the stargates and warpdrives had parties after they finished work on their projects.

To you they may be embarrassing pictures and videos, but to everyone else they are testaments to a fun, joyful time. Evidence that they have lived an exciting life. Something you obviously know nothing about Mr. 9-5 dictator. We will drink. We will party. We will have a good time.

Sobriety is a gift? You're so brainwashed you don't even see it. You and your foul propaganda are not going to trick anyone. Your cause is a fools errand. You have no chance at victory.

Sobriety must be destroyed before it ruins more lives.

We have parties, where we have the good manners to watch how much wine we are drinking! Never beyond tipsy! Who says we do not know how to have fun? We have board games! We have theater! We have sport! There is many that can be enjoyed sober!

Even the sternest among us know how to unwind! With family and friends! In parks, gardens, libraries, galleries, museums, stadiums, even safaris and adventure! All the while, sober!

We can have fun! We can have adventure! We can experience the novel, the bold, the exciting without resorting to intoxication! This is the fun we can remember. These memories last! They can be remembered, recounted and shared! And the memory stays even without the Galnet to do the remembering for you!

And more importantly, all of these can only be done WHILE SOBER!

You see, drunkeness is a way, but not a good way! It is not a meaningful way! It is not a lasting way! How can it last when you forget all about it the next day as you vomit your guts all over the couch and the carpet? The fact that you have to look for all those silly images and videos just to remind yourself of this embarrassing episode of your life is testament to that!

The real fun, the meaningful fun, is best experienced while sober! Your drunken agenda is flawed! Sobriety is the way!

It's quite insulting that you think we don't have manners. Parties have their own rules of etiquette and consequences for breaches of it. Just because you've never been taught that by the obviously lacking soberist society doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

And almost every instance you mentioned is made infinitely more fun by the addition of alcohol with the only exception being libraries. That is precisely why alcohol is sold at many of the venues you mentioned. If it isn't sold there it isn't discouraged to bring your own.

All those things can only be done while sober? Bored games? More like bored games.

Implying that a nights events are forgotten in a haze of alcoholic excess is also a fallacy. Same goes with the vomiting. I guess wide generalizations are all I can expect from a 'square' who has probably never been to a real party. The only flawed agenda is your sober one because your kind are too close minded to experience any different. Your kind has tried to enforce your will upon us before and it has historically never worked. We will always find a way.

Just more reasons, dear readers, why sobriety must be destroyed.

I see what the OP did there. Bravo. Cool

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

Manners is more than just 'How are you's'. It's about posture, it's about poise, it's about body gestures! Tell me you can stand straight for more than an hour while being completely SLOSHED! In fact, saying something with a numb tongue is already bad manners!

And yes, there are etiquette and consequence, but while intoxicated, can you even observe them? I am very sure a bar brawl and ill-advised attempts at pick-ups is generally frowned upon, if not by your peers, then certainly by the bartender. In fact, bar brawling is certainly in violation of etiquette, but your drunken peers would do it anyway, never mind the consequences!

And what every instance? Try rock climbing while drunk! You will be dead! Try safari while drunk! A slaver hound will feast on your corpse! Try museum-visits while drunk! You will be thrown out and blacklisted! You can't even look at the exhibits without seeing double, and I dare you to try to describe what you are seeing in detail! You probably wouldn't even remember what the curator said!

And I advise you try a game of 'Conquest'. It's a board game. The goal is right in the title. You tell me that isn't fun!

Also, yes, I dare forgetfulness under the haze of drunkeness is not a fallacy! It has happened! I dare you to remember EVERY INSTANCE OF THE THING YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE DRUNK! Every one of them! And do not lie! The sober has ways to verify your statements!
