First of all, no one I know, ever, has gone into a bar to 'get healthy'. In fact, I feel it's safe to say that taverns are about the unhealthiest place to be; physically, mentally, emotionally. Alcohol is a drug that completely distorts one's view of reality when enough is consumed. If you don't believe me, go to any niteclub and check the "V.I.P." section (yeah pay to sit in special chairs with terrible service, you trendy, cool-ass dickhole.)
And as I rant about strip clubs and nite clubs, how about pussy? No, not Big Pussy from the Sopranos; sex. In the "adult" clubs around the country, barley legal girls get topless or naked for complete strangers for the equivelant of a third of a gallon of gas. At nite clubs wanna-be trendy newly 21-year-olds try any ammount of alcohol and drugs that are put in front of them for free. How healthy is that? Isn't that a lot more dangerous to the overall health of that person and any people around them?---the "community." Don't think so? Go find a stripper who snaps from the mental abuse she puts her self through as she snorts one more line of heroin to get through the shift. Or the girl at the local hot spot club who decides 21 shots for her twenty first birthday is a good idea.
Let us also not forget the drugs. Unless you want to have your children buying dope on a street corner from a hooded thug with a pistol and a penchant for quick blowjobs, where else are they going to go?---assuming they are not still in high school, ha-ha. You see, bars are really a five-headed monster. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, greasy food and sex. Those are the five reasons people go to bars. You want comorodary? Go to a park (unless you are a single male, by yourself, between 21-70, with no children and no girlfriend, then you belong anywhere BUT a park. Maybe in a catholic church.)
Am I suggesting that we outlaw bars? No, moron. We humans are all walking garbage cans. We need a place to be pieces of shit, to act out, to get loose, if you will. That is exactly what we have taverns and clubs for. Getting buzzed is an excellent form of therapy for the masses. Perhaps only temporary, and not as effective as yoga or therapy, but who the fuck wants to do that shit anyway? People with too much time and money, thats who. Act like a normal person and have four shots of Jim Beam with two Budwiesers (for you ladies, twelve cosmos) and chill the fuck out.
So, lets review: Alcohol, Cigarettes, Sex (yeah you also girls), Greasy nasty food, and Drugs. And you people get upset about the CIGARETTES? Heres an idea for you........ We live in the United States. Our country was founded on principals of freedom and personal responsibility (even though we may have strayed lately....) So the next time you don't want to be in a smokey bar room, breathing in air that is so much worse than the air outside that houses auto emmissions and factory smog . . .
