I LOVE the bible belt...NOT!!!

I agree with you. It probably is a religous thing why they don't want people buying beer on Sunday, and that's coming from a Christian... me. I think if you want to buy some beer, liquor, and it's legal, you should be able to no matter what day. But if the majority of people there want it that way, and that's the way it ends up after a vote, if anybody doesn't like it, then get the hell otta there. Simple as that. Quite your bitching and sniveling and MOVE!

If a majority of people believed there should be no free speech, would you be for no free speech then?

That's like asksing, if the majority of people were for blowing up the sun, would you be for that? Ain't gonna happen man.

Ask me something real.

Do you know what "if" means? It's a hypothetical. Would you be for it IF a majority wanted it? COme on. Don't dodge.


The fact is we're not a democracy. We're a constitutional republic. You shouldn't be perpetuating that dogma. It will ultimately turn against freedom.

Choose something else. Say a majority wanted to burn christians, would that therefore be ok?

Pale..the problem with the remaining blue laws we have here is they were never voted on to start with, just imposed.

Now it looks like there ‘may’ be a vote, we’ll see.

Aren't they rather ancient though? It's hard for me to imagine blue laws being passed by majority approval nowadays.

[Gunny]

Hey guys, don't highjack the thread with pissy back an forth BS ok.

Was not my intent, but you KNOW I'm not going to back down.

Very ancient. No they were never 'voted' on but are the current law.

[Hugh Lincoln]

Not the worst laws, the blue laws. They are rooted in Christian tradition, and even if not, they have a salutary purpose. Booze is great, but it's probably a healthy thing not to sell it at least one day a week. Usually I'm libertarian but I can go along with this.

I think you know me well enough by now RWA, to know that I don't "dodge". I'll go toe to toe with anyone.

I'm just stating the obvious, which is what I always do. I don't like to play "what if's". We change things here in America by vote. That's what the people are doing. I say if the vote turns out against the way you feel, move. That's all. Nothing more.

If you want to ask me about something completely different. Do it. But make it real.
