Rincewind Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 There are many reasons for drinking and one's just entered my head if you can't drink while you are living how can you drink when you are dead?
Flynny Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Well that was cheerful. Still, worse ways to go. Any chance of a thread about people dying of sexual promiscuity next week? Cheers.

potter3 Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 I've never drunk alcohol, all my mates do though Well you've just nulled your last excuse for your posts :laugh:
AoWW Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 I've never drunk alcohol, all my mates do though Oh... right.

stez Posted 16 June 2007 Posted 16 June 2007 I've never drunk alcohol, all my mates do though if that IS true, then good on you.
Zingari Posted 16 June 2007 Posted 16 June 2007 I've never drunk alcohol, all my mates do though i'd change your mates if they keep pinching your drinks
Blue Bob Posted 16 June 2007 Posted 16 June 2007 In my opinion it sounds like do-gooders trying to scaremonger once again. If its fun, they want to slag it whether it is fags, booze or drugs (please not I dont condone any of them - apart from booze maybe). If we are being honest binge drinking has been around every since alcohol was invented. For example Robin Hood and his Merry Men - why were they merry? Was it because they enjoyed high taxes and living in Nottingham "scum" Forest - No it was because they were binge drinkers and spent most nights hammers out of their skulls! The human race has survived for hundreds of years with booze (and lets be realistic some people would not have been born without the intervention of booze) so why suddenly try to make it into a modern day evil. To the do-gooders I say **** off and leave people alone who are enjoying themselves - go and pick on the caravan club or fell walkers or some other useless c*nts who might want to listen to you. I dont!!!

I dont!!! I agree. The worst example I heard recently was when someone posted an article this woman had written about oral sex giving you cancer! Can you imagine the type of person that made that up? I pictured some 45 year old feminist virgin in a wooly cardigan and a cord skirt who owned 100's of cats, moaning that she never got any because she smelt of fish.

lookwhaticando Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Don't worry. Soon there'll make it illegal to die. Thracian, my dear fellow, you're behind the times. Brazil City proposes ban on deathMunicipal regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying because the local cemetery has reached full capacity. [...] :thumbsup: From December 14th, 2005.
Rincewind Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 I believe it is illegal to die by your own hands but they only prosecute if you fail.
Flynny Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Hang on - I haven't posted the pictures of pustulent, pox-driven cancerous sores I'm still waiting.
cisono Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Thracian, my dear fellow, you're behind the times. :thumbsup: From December 14th, 2005. Ban on death: I wonder if - either the ban or - the lack of space in the cemetery could actually deter some people from dying for a while (or keep them live longer). It is not so far-fetched as you may think: - my greatgrandma (who had nothing wrong with her, except being 98) did say goodbye to me before she "decided" to go. She said she felt that she was living in someone else's time. Her husband had died 30 years previously, she had outlived all her friends and contemporaries by decades... I pleaded with her but she still died some weeks later. (still feel a bit guilty about not arguing my case well enough ) Her death certificate simply stated "old age". It still seems to me that she died because her will to die had surpassed her will to live ... Now, if the town hall had temporarily banned dying, I am sure she would have lived longer - of course, this would be harder to apply to serious casualties from car accidents etc...
