"When something is legal, you can usually regulate and control it. But make that thing illegal, anything become fair game," is the national embodiment of "STRICT PARENTS MAKE SNEAKY CHILDREN" and i love it
Guns laws make mass shootings
With that mindset, make Cocain legal now, I wanna have some fun with my friends. Drinking ain’t do nothing anymore.
this is only applicable in some cases
for example, weed is illegal here, which is why most people stay far FAR away from drugs.
then take a look at the US, where weed is legal
wheres the regulating and controlling? shit isnt looking too good man
One of my favorite ideologies I've seen is the idea that, trust gives freedom and leniency, If the parents give a curfew to come home from a party at say 11, and you keep it most of the time and you make sure they know when you have to break said curfew, they will usually allow it since you usually keep it. Eventually the parents can trust you enough to basically not have a curfew.
@@pinchofgoth5477weed isn’t nationally legal here, also there are regulations.
"A woman talking? In public?? That's outrageous!" lmao
Funny thing is, women having power wasn't as big a deal in many states west of the Mississippi River. Argonia, Kansas actually elected a female mayor, Susanna Salter, in 1887 and other western localities even elected all-female town councils partially because they were fed up with blatant corruption or crime and thought women as the "fairer and more virtuous" sex would surely bring more honesty and order. Iowa also allowed women to become lawyers from the 1870s onward!
Woman talking? *Theres gonna be a tax for that*

There's one story I like regarding Carrie Nation. A saloon owner in Oklahoma invited Carrie to speak at his business, but she had to promise not to break his bottles. She broke them anyway. After this rampage the saloon owner then made a sign, "All Nations Welcome Except Carrie." It became a slogan, and saloons started to buy them and hang them in their taverns as a reminder to their patrons to be thankful that Carrie isn't here and that they can enjoy their drinks in peace. lol
I wonder if stephen king heard about this women and was like "yeah I think I'll write a story about a women who kills people"

Snorky actually said he got scars from fighting in "The Lost Battalion" in World War One. He didn't even let the fact he never served stop him. What a guy.
My paternal grandparents made beer and wine in their basement. Well, actually, my grandmother made the beer and wine from recipes passed down through her family. My grandfather owned a produce store so he could supply my grandmother whatever she needed. The local ice cream truck driver supplied the empty root beer bottles for my grandmother to bottle the beer and wine in. My dad recalled hearing “pop-pop-pop” noises at 1 AM from the beer bottles that were over-carbonated.
It was a great business model. My grand father could write off whatever produce was used as spoilage, the ice cream man sold adult root beer as well as kids root beer so everything was listed as root beer. No doubt they supplied some local speakeasies. My grandmother even had a potato beer recipe.
The Irish would kill for that potato beer recipe.
Congress: No More Beers Guys
Americans: Cheers to that

Funny fact: Carrie Nation didn't use a hatchet until her husband made a joke about it. After smashing a few saloons with just rocks, Mr. Nation jokingly told his wife she should use a hatchet to do maximum damage to the places. And Carrie told him, "That is the most sensible thing you have said since I married you."
Oh hell

Well, he married her in the first place. Probably not the most sensible fella to begin with.

This video from OverSimplified is such a fun and entertaining way to learn about the complex history of Prohibition! I loved watching the humorous and lighthearted animations, and it was great to see how the complicated political and social environment of the 1920s was presented in such an accessible manner. I especially enjoyed the comedic delivery and creative use of imagery to illustrate the various aspects of Prohibition. This video is a great way to learn more about a significant and often overlooked period in American history.

A fact about the moonshine stuff: during prohibition, many moonshine runners had tuned up cars to outrun the police. After prohibition, they had no need to run from the police to sell it, so they started racing each other for money and respect. In 1948, a group of men got together in a hotel at Daytona Beach to establish a sanctioning body for these early stock car racing events. That sanctioning body became what we call NASCAR
I just learned that because of the race in Chicago 😂

I can't wait for the next video this makes learning history fun and inspires me to read more history books thank you
In *slight* defense of Remus, his wife *had* previously hired a hitman to kill him; the only reason he wasn't killed is because the hitman thought he'd be double-crossed, and instead told Remus about the plan.
They are all terrible people.
"This may strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die."
Obviously, this short video can't cover everything, but that should've been a major point, considering the jokes about Remus being cheered in the courtroom.
I mean Remus is kinda respectable out of the lot of them.
His morals were always consistent, had he been a european I am willing to bet both my balls he would have done like my family and formed resistance cells during the fun time when the germans were busy occupying us and yeeting grenades into street cars...
Technically illegal but I bet none of you would complain anyone breaks the rules to secure your freedom and liberty and diabeetus riddled grandpa when he was kept alive by "Terrible people"(according to the winners, dont get over your head as a partial winner, remember Athens?)
ehhh i kinda like Remus. Like him for his violation of Prohibition, and although murder isn't justified, his wife didn't just betray him, she destroyed his life by selling everything he owned.

This is not only the greatest Oversimplified video but this is the greatest TH-cam video of all time
Shame the script is plagiarized from Ken Burns' docuseries on Prohibition
“ I just make their hearts “ stop pumping “ “
“ So, murder? “
“ WOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHH! “
"i just shoot them in the head and drop them in a river with cinderblocks on their ankles"
"So murder and hiding a body"
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH there who said anything about murder they merely fail to stay alive because of me!"
I AM LATE
"I didn't murder. I merely failed to not murder!"

After Prohibition passed people began turning saloons in to soda fountains as a replacement for alcohol (replacing an addictive beverage with another addictive beverage)
