Not necessarily. What with TJ posting like GU, it could happen by the end of the year. And if that happens, we'd better send Canarsie to Antarctica so he doesn't go over the deep end from having to read every single post.

I still think your next premier should be a "DO".

I'm surprised chewing tobacco / snuff, aspirin, tea & soft drinks are not on the list.

If the death penalty was immediate for everything, you would more than likely be dead (as would the rest of us). And if the death penalty is the only way to control society, how do countries w/o the death penalty survive? Seems much of Europe should be in chaos by now.

Or are you referring to control, as in making everyone support your authority in your idealized dictatorial society?

All of my posts are helpful, I'm in no rush to spike up my post count.

I'm sure that there are some who respectfully disagree.

May many more good moments happen in the time to come, and hope for another year of safe travels.

Goodnight all.

Congratulations on #1000!...although many of your posts give me the impression that you live in a parallel universe, a sort of Mandy Moore character from the movie Saved - Do you really believe all that "stuff" that you say? Or, perhaps, are you really the new voice of an old FTer out to have some fun!

I guess Tylenol is OK as it is not listed? Hmmmm... tylenol, a drug that is the most often overdosed OTC drug easily available, and most often the drug of choice by teens attempting suicide by OD...

Or any other medication not listed?

What's wrong with "vitamins"? As required substances necessary for normal physiology AND present in food, I fail to see your rationalization of this one.

Parenting advice of the day...

"So I wanted to go to the casino so I left my 19 year old on the beach with a 6 pack and went. He had a good day."

By the way the context of this was on a Caribbean island so the drinking was legal.

You're inferring logic - many liquid cold medicines have precisely the same content as pill-based cold medicine but as some liquid cold medicines contain alcohol, all should be banned ...

It would be recommendation to get sentences to life in prisons with possibility of parole. They have to right thing to do for negotiable with the lawyers. It will have to be flexibility the sentences 25 years to life in prisons.
