Caplan said:to quote from the link -
"There are a lot of dangerous and stupid things people do when they're intoxicated, other than get behind the wheel of a car," Beck said. "People walk out into traffic and get run over, people jump off of balconies trying to reach a swimming pool and miss."
How can the agents prove someone was going to leave a bar and then find a balcony and miss the pool? Does a drinker have to be wearing goggles, a swimhat and speedos to be a suspect?
Because then they couldn't sit and have a beer with their girlfriends while they waited.cowain said:instead of busting people for being drunk in a bar (which I would question that being considered public) why don't you just set out shop outside of all the bars

Lounge Lizard said:I'm sure every state has its flaws. Texas is a pretty cool state to live in. Besides this bar thing, what else is there to hate about it? Just the attitudes of some Texans? Or that Texas produces better college football teams than Arkansas?
Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkeness, Beck said.
The legal loophole here is that strip bars must be licensed by the local powers that be, so they essentially have approval. Also, aren't most of them private clubs?Pumbaa said:So if bars are public places . . .
Lets say I'm back in Corpus Christi hanging out at my favorite nudie bar "Peppers". . .
Are the Strippers goning to get busted for indecent exposure or lewd behavior?
Edit...and I'm from the South, so a good rebellion is never out of the question! The War of T-totaller Agression!
Sorry man...we've already annexed Tejas...it's now officially known as Baja Oklahoma. It's been that way since everyone left during the hurricane.Pumbaa said:Who else wants to join? We'll turn Texas into our own republic

Gilly's burned down like ten years ago, and I'm pretty sure the last mechanical bull in existence got bbq'd in the fire.Bjorn Borg said:I wonder how the mechanical bull industry was affected by all this...i mean, you couldnt get me on one of those things unless i were sh*t faced!
Which is politicianese for "Yes, we are in fact idiots, and yes, the program is in fact cancelled."Lounge Lizard + said:Beck said the commission opted to put the program on hold "just to give us time to sift through all the information we've received and pull together all the information and determine the best way to proceed."
...temporarily, until after the election, at which point we should have another 18 months to screw you some more."Baron von BeeGee said:"Yes, we are in fact idiots, and yes, the program is in fact cancelled...

cowain said:It's waaaaay more fun to watch drunk people bust ass off of fake bulls than it is to watch real men take on real bulls.
when real men take on real bulls, one of them might actually ride the thing - and who cares about that? The fun for me is seeing some drunk dude get tossed. That's entertainment.
i agree with this entirely.Bjorn Borg said:hell yeah! better yet, watching HOT drunk girls in bikini's getting thrown is way more fun then watching some bareback mountain dude wearing tight wranglers ride a real bull...
guess im not a bull riding purist...
