Goddamn religious based laws

Went to do my grocery shopping early today to avoid the crowds. Had a cart full of food and some beer that was on sale.

"Sorry sir, we cant sell you beer before 12 on a Sunday"

Good thing too, because I was going to get fvcking wasted at 10AM on a Sunday. I just left my cart at the register with everything in it and walked out.

How the hell do people buy beer in time for Sunday football games? Good thing some Christians thought up this ban on beer before 12. Maybe they can all put their heads together and outlaw dancing too. Maybe censor some books. Christ.

This is a democracy. If you don't like it then vote in the next elections. Even outrageous laws are still laws. And without them we wouldn't be living in a civilization.
 
The blue laws BEGAN as religious laws. Now they're lobbied for and maintained by small businesses, not the religious right. If supermarkets and convenience stores can sell beer on Sunday morning then package stores have to stay open too. That costs them money for very little return and on a slow day they'd probably lose money during those hours.

Pay attention to your local newspaper once in a while. When the blue laws come up for review and possible change it's not the Jesus-freaks that are screaming about maintaining a holy day, it's small business owners who are screaming about maintaining a day off. Just buy your beer on Saturday evening or any other time during the week. It's not all that complicated.

That's why they refridgerate it! 😀 So you can drink it as soon as you buy it! :beer:

IL has these silly blue laws too... no beer before noon on sunday.

I agree with you, and believe that legislation of morality is wrong.

The point of government is to govern the people any way they see fit. What is good for the people is their perogative. Morality is the most important thing in government. Any government that has lasted long enough started on morality, including the USA. It is when they begin to reject morality and ignore it that they start to crumble, much like the USA is crumbling.
 
lol, that IS a funny topic title.

and lol @ you leaving your cart with all your items because your panties got bunched up over a silly little thing like this. 🙂

since you have pluralized "laws" in your title, perhaps you would like to share some other "religious based" laws in effect in your area. 🙂

btw, this thread was doomed from the moment you hit "Post". But you know this! 😉

IL has a lot of silly laws.
 
Just be glad that you CAN buy beer on Sunday. Heck, ~80% of my state's counties (KY) are dry 24/7/365, period.

 
it is much safer to prevent people from drinking at home on sundays then it is for them to get trashed at a bar and drive home 😕
