Common Sense to the Rescue
I'm going to try to keep this short. Also, in the name of keeping it short, all structure has been abandoned in favour of rapidly rambling. Additionally, any usual attempts to rectify certain grammar and spelling mistakes have been cancelled.
Now, I've seen articles in various [Ontarian] newspapers regarding the story about a new law which would allow alcohol in club/bar restrooms (UWO Gazette link, others available via Google news [I know the London Freep ran a story on Oct.17]). The idea is that women would be able to bring their drinks to the bathroom with them and thus avoid getting date raped. Apparently, and this is news to me, women were leaving their drinks unattended and then coming back to them and finishing the contents.
HOW STUPID IS THAT!?
Trying to keep this short, I'll assume we all know why such an action is stupid. What I can't understand though is why this is such an issue. Do these people not have friends that they can have watch over their drink (friends they know, not random people they just met that night)? Do they have pea-sized bladders such that they cannot wait until they've finished the drink? I'm assuming all of these people are over the age of 19 since they're drinking in a bar, so they've got to have some sort of bladder control. Maybe goto the bathroom before you get your next drink since you really should have some sort of idea if you're going to have to go pee-pee or touch up your hair/makeup soon? This is a bar we're talking about! The drinks aren't any huge 1.5 L Gatorade bottle! At most it's probably a 300-500ml beer or cooler bottle, or if it's in a cup even less (especially later in the night when they start giving you those teeny little plastic cups like they think you're too drunk to notice that you're now paying the same price for 1/2 the product). If it's really such an issue and you absolutely MUST go right then, take a few drinks from your cup and abandon the last little bit. Le sigh... if I'm just completely overlooking something then somebody please blast me in the comments section.
Laws shouldn't be made to protect stupid people from themselves, they should be made to protect the rest of us from them.
The saddest part about this whole post is that I spent the most energy deciding if "pee-pee" should have a dash in it.
revolution this,
dazz.
