Dry ideas from dry people! Kill everyone's joy! After all, the Islamization of the EU will be that much easier thereafter!

EUOBSERVER / STRASBOURG - One of the first concrete proposals the Finnish EU presidency will push in the bloc's agenda is an alcohol tax hike across Europe.
Helsinki has put the issue on the agenda of the very first meeting during its six-month period at the EU's helm - the gathering of finance ministers planned for 11 July.
"It is necessary to harmonize the tax rates to even out the price levels of alcohol," the presidency stated in a press release on the council agenda, adding that it aims to achieve an increase in the EU minimum excise duty rates on alcohol, particularly spirits.

Life's no fun any more, according to the experts. You can't drink beer because it kills your brain cells. You can't eat cakes because they clog your arteries. You can't drive in the bus lane because the cameras get you. You can't have unprotected sex in case you catch some unspeakable disease. You can't hunt foxes because it's nasty. You can't have a coal fire in the city because of pollution and you can't use a cellphone because it fries your brain. What's left?
Smoking? You must be kidding. The whole world is a long way down the road of making smokers feel like serial killers, and wanting to have a cold pint and a nice fag in the environs of your local pub is supposed to make you an anti-social reprobate of the worst order. Some day, when the world is old, people will scoff at the fact that human beings once lived in a society - Britain - where the Government could confirm its commitment to Trident missiles, whose only single purpose is to wipe out the planet, while, in the same week, that identical Government floated the idea of making it illegal for people of 16 and 17 to smoke a cigarette.

Creature comforts and pleasures are being pushed to the side. UGH!
Imagine just how docilt people will have become by the time the Islamic killjoy hoards move into Europe. Then, the ultimate SUBMISSION will be just another little step for people to take.
I despise these people who wish to sanitize the world!
I was raised witrh the motto: live and let live. And that's what I live by. And that's what I am going to live by, too.
Do we really have to tolerate these prigs telling us we should live our lives?
This Finnish guy looks like a right BOF to me. (BOF = Boring Old Fart)
Sorry! That 'docilt' should read 'docile'

You can blame the anti-smoking BS on American nannies.
As much as I love America and I love Americans, I have to agree with you.
Crybaby nanny-do-gooders here have decided that smoking is worse than the devil (that they don't believe in) and that smoking is deadly.
Yes, they have. But they don't seem to care about the drug problem. Just the smokers have to suffer! 'Druggies' can get away with all they want.
Even more insipid is their idea that smoke filtered through the smokers lungs and exhaled is twice as deadly as the original smoke. This allows them to claim moral high ground (they don't believe in morals, either) to legislate away people's freedom to smoke.
Yes, and it's bloody stupid! Second-hand smoke! Why the hell don't these stupid people put themselves in a bubble and wait out their time, wait till they are called to their Lord? As you say: Cry babies all!
I'm not a smoker. I hate eating in a restaurant and tasting someone else's assinine cigarette smoke while I'm trying to taste my steak.
Okay, fine. I respect that. And yes, you shouldn't have to suffer other people's smoke when you're eating. But for God's sake, is it beyond the realms of possibility that ALL people can be catered for - smokers and non-smokers alike?
But the freedoms that are being trampled in the "name" of good (which they don't believe in) raise my ire.
Yes, Mussolini, they raise mine, too!
America, the land of the once-free, and the home of the slaves.
Yes, it certainly isn't 'the land of the free' anymore, is it? Europe isn't either; but then, it never was!
Mark,
BOF? Bwahahaha! He looks like one, all right.
Mussolini,
Muslims pose a much larger danger to the free world than smokers! The "sanitizers" (as Mark put it, I think) will sanitize our freedoms right out the window.
