Religious conservatives prevented me from buying beer tonight

[sylvar]

I went to the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Wesley Chapel tonight with a shopping list including beer.  In the Valrico store, the beer is behind the soda, but not in this one.  So I asked an employee: "Pardon me, where's the beer?"

"We're across from a church and next to a school."

"Um... I'm sorry, I was asking where the beer is.  You know, like Michelob

I agree wholeheartedly that it's a stupid law, but I think the stupidest law ever is the one that requires me to show my ID and sign a fracking log book just to buy a pack of Sudafed....

I'm going to have to agree with Ed on this one, as long as we go with stupidest ENFORCED law anyway. There are some pretty wacky ones out there that aren't. :)

This is why God made acid - for when there's no beer available.

Feel blessed you're not in Georgia. Our blue laws prevent all alcohol sales on Sundays. You cannot buy anything in a store - the only exception is if you are in a restaurant or bar, where you can buy by the glass.

I think your Jewish side is coming out. They drink wine at most holidays. The kids are suppose to drink it too.

Go figure...

Lets bless this tree.

Roman Catholics drink wine in mass children are encouraged to join in after they go thought first communion. I say drink and enjoy as long you can do so without hurting yourself and others. You know one of the things that sucks about being a Taoist is that we don’t have holidays. Then agen the Tao is not really a religion is it.

Strictly speaking, it is. I come from a anthropological perspective and it fits the scientific definition of a religion but then so does college football.
