You don't get to tell people what is or isn't good for them. Enjoying losing in 2020 for the same reasons you lost in 2016 Smiley

We're not changing them to our liking. We're changing them into a healthier version of themselves. Drinking less soda will bring them happiness, and they just don't know it. Alcohol is taxed generally and tanning beds ought to be as well.

Jesus Christ. Do you actually believe in this garbage? Were you taught how to be little fascists in school? Good lord.

It's none of your business what choices other people make and you don't know what's good for someone else. And those who think they do are intolerant, stupid scumbags.

You know what? Having a healthy relationship with God is good for the soul. People who reject religion are hurting themselves and don't know it. Let's find some way to tax them into making the *right* choice in accepting the Cristian faith.

It's the right thing to do, right? But somehow I don't think you would support that. Weird. It's almost like you want to use legislation to force people to be a certain way - your way - yet would balk if someone decided that you should make changes to be like them.

i would have thought, like with nicotine taxes, this is...eh.....the goal?

Imposing lifestyle choices on people like NAZI's?

Yes, I suppose they are meeting that goal.
