Amazing!

I'd just read this and immediately thought of you...

Of course you did, CyprusGullible. Your "thoughts" are even controlled by the phases of the moon.

Your 'logic' defies logic!

Says the man who complains that laws controlling drinking, driving, smoking, shooting etc also control his freedom to 'think'.

How do you work that out from what I have posted...?

[GreekIslandGirl]

Logical deduction!

[cyprusgrump]

Logical deduction!

You can't deduce something that you accuse me of saying...

When did I say that 'laws controlling drinking, driving, smoking, shooting etc also control my freedom to 'think'?

Answer. I didn't ever say that... just another of your ridiculous wild accusations that have no basis in truth or logic...

Just one of your views on us having alcohol limits before driving:

And it is exactly nanny state telling people what to think...

People - or should I say 'sheeple' - like you that believe the propaganda on global warming, speeding, drinking, smoking, etc... It certainly doesn't affect my freedom of thought thank you...

And of course, as normal you have tried to justify your ridiculous statements by part quoting or miss-quoting what was actually said... read my comments again in context: -

Yes there are many who even sober are a hazard to other road users, and no one should drive while impaired by drink, drugs, (illegal or legal), of which alcohol is one, by state of health or tiredness - there was the tragic case in the UK of Rail crash in the UK where a sleep deprived driver rolled of the road onto the railway, the subsequent events causing 10 deaths.
everyone should assess their condition to drive before they set off: unfortanately because alcohol is a mind altering drug which affects perception, someone who has had modest amounts of Alcohol is not capable of judging their own ability: they may think they are safe but are not: see for example (which is but one of many such studies)

ALCOHOL IMPAIRS SPEED OF INFORMATION PROCESSING AND SIMPLE AND CHOICE REACTION TIME AND DIFFERENTIALLY IMPAIRS HIGHER-ORDER COGNITIVE ABILITIES
http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/content/35/2/197.full

And its not about the nanny state telling people what to think, it is about the state providing protection for the public against poeple who are probably unsafe to drive but who do not know it, because of consumption of even small amounts of Alcohol (two or three drinks) . Grump you might think you are safe, but quite possibly you are not thinking right.

I haven't read it all...

... but more and more these days we have researchers that are funded by special interest groups to get the result they want...

In this case, getting just sixteen people to tap keys on a laptop doesn't really prove that somebody having a drink on the way home from work is dangerous...

And it is exactly nanny state telling people what to think... As Svetlana pointed out, Cyprus has one of the lowest alcohol driving limits - you would think according to nanny state that is the 'safe' limit yet many other countries have higher limits without carnage on the roads every day because of people driving within the limit who are unfit to drive!

How can 22 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 milliitres of breath be safe in Cyprus while 35 microgrammes is safe in the UK...?

Arbitrary nanny-state imposed limits....

By the way, people that think I am moaning about not being able to have a drink... I've been breathalysed once in 35 years of driving and scored a big, round zero....

Shame on you!

In the 'Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary' (and many others I am sure) the word 'Debauchery' follows 'Debate'.

When such an observation is applied to the case of those who frequent the 'Houses of Parliament', it is noticeable that the same sequence applies not only in 'Word' but in 'Action'.

Therefore, as one who has actually witnessed the behaviour of our politicians when they are let off the leash, I hereby resolve to join them the next time I get half a chance, there are quite a few tasty 'Up and Coming' young wenches among those who feign to represent us, 'Game Birds' if ever I saw them.

To the more discerning, the 'House' caters for ALL tastes, you may be sure of that.
