il cacciatore Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) All alcohol containers will have health warnings placed on them like cigarette packets do. I can imagine the labels will be large and very visible on the bottles/cans and have slogans like Alcohol Kills, Alcohol causes liver sclerosis. I hate to say it but society has collapsed. The main reasoning for all these stupid ideas now is "If it saves the life of one person then it is worthwhile." Thats the reasoning for speed cameras, thats the reasoning for the smoking ban, thats the reasoning for the restrictions on firearms laws etc etc. It is absolute madness. Everybody knows that Alcohol can have serious consequences but nowhere near the risk of smoking so how can they brand it the same? Opinions? The daily mail is the only news site thats running the story just now, I cant find it on the BBC website.

Axe Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Then religion needs a massive disclaimer, as it takes more lives than any other on this planet. Can you imagine all churches having to display a banner saying "Religion Kills"! Ban the bloody EU and get this once mighty nation back on its feet.

jre184 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Then religion needs a massive disclaimer, as it takes more lives than any other on this planet. Can you imagine all churches having to display a banner saying "Religion Kills"! Add mosques, temples, synagogues etc. etc. etc. When you check through history, religion is without doubt the major cause of conflict, large and small scale.

Hodmedod.one Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 The Yanks have had warnings on their beer cans for donkeys years. Nobody pays any attention to them, and the vast majority of americans I have met drink like fish. I cannot see any point in doing the same thing here. Anyone who needs to read the can/bottle to find out that drinking can be dangerous is an imbecile. If you are stupid enough to get drunk and hurt/kill yourself, then you have got what you deserve. If you get drunk and hurt/kill anyone else, you should be put away for the rest of your life. We have enough cretins in this country as it is. We don't need people making excuses for them. As for religion, I'm with Axe 110%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Whats the big deal? its just a label. Alcohol DOES damage your health if you drink massive amounts often. If your a causl drinker, just ignore the warnings.. as we do for many things already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Mosquito's can kill lets see em try to put a label on one of those things I am beginning to think the House of COMMONS should start showing some COMMON SENSE for once and tell the EU to take a long walk on a short pier Oh but they will most likely have a Sign at the pier gate stating "long walks can kill" LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nildes Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Everything kills. Life kills. Nobody lasts beyond 120. If you choose to kill yourself early though booze or fags, thats your choice. Just don't show up complaing at the hospital and its fine by me :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I think you'll find that "Life kills". Big scarey things happen in this world, some good some bad. Do your best to avoid the pit falls and if you choose to ignore them then don't ******* complain. If you force these things on unwilling parties then you deserve all that is coming to you. Life is a bitch then you die. It's up to you to make a difference in the bit in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
