What do the americans here think of this new bill?
Personally I really disagree. I don't do or condone drugs, but saying that a place selling bottled water encourages drug use?
Come on, I often drink bottled waer when I go out becaue I'm often the designated driver...

ive never heard of the RAVE act...but i can see the top peoples' concern...which is drugs. you have to admit raves are infested with drugs. that and 'loud noise'...which i don't mind so much really...but most people would.

It's in the news over here. It's a proposed act to close down venues that have drug use. It's an acronym that spells out words to the effect protect america from ecstasty (can't remember exactly what it stands for).

it's NOT in the headlines here....so i'm not sure whats up with it.
sounds odd to want to discourage people from selling bottled water.....especially for the DD's?? puzzeling....i'll look in the paper tomorrow and see if there is any story.

seeing as bottled water is pretty much a life-saver when it comes to X use, anything that makes club/rave owners think twice about making it available is bloody dangerous and is gonna cause more harm than good...

Yep, way to go. Maybe if enough people die of dehydration, ravers will think twice about doing e's. That seems to be the plan...

clubs and pills are inextricably linked, fuck man afx,pusher all the rephlex crew started out doing raves---pills are responsible for all the good dance music we have now-- allowing and regulating drug use is a much better idea than clamping down on it , i much prefer raving in a nice safe enviroment- with good air conditioning and copious ammounts of free water- instead of being paranoid about whether some meathead bouncer is gonna chuck me out. clubbers get ripped off enough already what with high ticket prices and stupidly expensive bottled water- we should at least be allowed to skin up for christsake

The British government basically shit themselves when they found out the scale of drugs in clubs, pubs etc.
The American government will probably do the same thing if Ecstasy becomes as inextricabley linked to dance music culture as it is here.

yeah, that's the whole point of this thread. the american govt has found out. And are taking the same measures. I think what might happen is that since we're considered in "a time of war," thus giving the govt special faschist powers, they can declare that inorder to protect yadda, yadda, they need to come in and shut down any gathering of teens maxing a certian number.
hell, they could just site these places as being biohazards, and under the new helath care acts, declare a type of martial law in the state when it's up to the govoner's descression.

I hear they're selling oxygen now.... the only reason why that is: because you can't leave the club for fresh air without having to pay to get back in!!!

Yeah, you get drunk on oxygen and it makes your voice squeeky like helium.
It's a real problem for divers as they get drunk and then laugh a lot at the way everyone talks, using up a lot of their air in the process.
