You enter sombody's tenant property and agree to a set of terms so long as you're there.

2019-10-19 02:25:27 UTC  

'could be, couldn't be'

2019-10-19 02:25:30 UTC  

talking about what is

2019-10-19 02:25:32 UTC  

not what could be

2019-10-19 02:25:41 UTC  

But there are towns are ran mutually.

2019-10-19 02:25:41 UTC  

they ***are not*** voluntary

2019-10-19 02:25:48 UTC  

You can't say otherwise.

2019-10-19 02:25:55 UTC  

they aren't called dry towns, dude

2019-10-19 02:26:02 UTC  

a dry town is one with laws against alcohol

2019-10-19 02:26:07 UTC  

They can be dry towns

2019-10-19 02:26:12 UTC  

Okay

2019-10-19 02:26:13 UTC  

So,

2019-10-19 02:26:13 UTC  

maybe you don't know becuase you're european

2019-10-19 02:26:19 UTC  

The initial premise was "prohibition is ineffective."

In Germany, from 1933 to 1939, prohibition on the consumption and sale of tobacco saw the majority of the country's tobacco advertisers, distributors and manufacturers close down, daily consumption of tobacco among the adult population reduce by 25% and among minors almost entirely.

In Canada, from 1920 to 1925, prohibition on the consumption and sale of alcohol saw three quarters of all alcohol breweries close down and decreases by 66% each in cross-border alcohol smuggling, public intoxication and related criminal offences.

To the present day, hundreds of municipal governments maintain prohibitions on the use, manufacture and sale of alcohol within their boundaries and have reduced the consumption of it by 100%.

2019-10-19 02:26:20 UTC  

how the term is used

2019-10-19 02:26:34 UTC  

Then the goal post was shifted to "it could be voluntary."

2019-10-19 02:26:37 UTC  

Which is very irrelevant

2019-10-19 02:26:47 UTC  

if its mutual, it is by definition not a dry town

2019-10-19 02:27:00 UTC  

Okay fine

2019-10-19 02:27:04 UTC  

okay

2019-10-19 02:27:04 UTC  

That's extremely pedantic

2019-10-19 02:27:12 UTC  

yes, you were being extremely pedantic

2019-10-19 02:27:32 UTC  

It's funny how, you know, making a substance *illegal* makes it, well, less used by the population!

2019-10-19 02:27:34 UTC  

A mutual arrangement that prohibits the sale of alcohol isn't a dry town because the government isn't involved?

2019-10-19 02:28:01 UTC  

correct

2019-10-19 02:28:18 UTC  

it is not listed as such on any govt. records

2019-10-19 02:28:23 UTC  

it is not in any law codes

2019-10-19 02:28:46 UTC  

and the ones that Beady was referring to

2019-10-19 02:28:53 UTC  

were actual dry towns

2019-10-19 02:29:10 UTC  

aka, not hypothetical voluntary dry towns

2019-10-19 02:29:50 UTC  

@Leaf War on Drugs has wasted billions, used to justify invasions of foreign counties, destruction of property and illegal coups. Yet, hasn't halted the sale of transport of drugs into the United States.

Furthermore, America's foreign policy often involved supporting orgs that move drugs into the states, such as the Sicilian mob and the Contras.

I'll do more research soon but its late and I'm tired.

2019-10-19 02:30:12 UTC  

it's all a red herring

2019-10-19 02:30:18 UTC  

they take your money anyway

2019-10-19 02:30:24 UTC  

whether they enforce drug laws or not

2019-10-19 02:30:32 UTC  

* * * politicians

2019-10-19 02:30:38 UTC  

once again, you pretend that someone supports American policy

2019-10-19 02:30:39 UTC  

criminals*

2019-10-19 02:30:50 UTC  

its particularly funny considering that you're talking to beady

2019-10-19 02:31:22 UTC  

I mean, I can respect that beady opposes current forms of prohibition, like the use of private prisons, and prison for dealers in general.
