    Because is much harder to criminalize something that billions of people are addicted to. Why the fuck would you want to anyway?

    Okay, time for another example of EVOLUTION IN ACTION ACTION ACTION!
    The marjority of my ancestors have for thousands of years known how to ferment, and thus how to drink.
    Those who had less of a tolerance to the drink were more likely to die from it and therefore less likely to reproduce.
    This means that over the years my ancestors were slowly building a tolerance to the alcohol, while cutlures that didn't have it (Most north american indians, although the mayans did possess the knowledge/skill to ferment), wouldn't face these same evolutionary conditions.

    Ok so something bad happened, dosent mean you need to forget about it, Should all hollowcost meuseas and things related to the hollocost be changed, to "Happy german fun period where nothing happened and punch was served!"

    Stop being so sensative, seriously, the world never was, nor will it ever be all sunshine and lollpops
    Shit happens, and things get named things because to the people that named it, it made sense at the time, would you really strip away your history just so a few kids dont get teary eyed when they hear the story?


    For exsample, there was a nice local road called brise coullette, basicly translates to break your balls/ass road, because well, it use to be very bumpy
    but now because of offended people it is renamed cleavland road.... and a part of the local soul dies...

    Hey, there's a Football team called the Eskimos. You know you're not supposed to call them that, they don't like it. They prefer Inuits. You'd better start a boycott or something...........
