i don't think they need to worry

Just like any other retarded social movement, it's ugly bitches that most heavily support it. I wonder if bringing a picture of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre back from the future would change their minds about prohibition.

I don't know. That snarly one on the middle row (second to the left) looks like a hottie to me.
I wouldn't consider the Prohibition movement "retarded" per say. I'm sure that if they could know the consequences of the ratification of the 18th amendment they'd lose much of their radical edge.
Yes, I'm a history buff. Shut up.

Given that prohibition was basically the linchpin in the golden age of organized crime I'd say it did far more harm than any good it could have possibly done. Lucky Luciano and Al Capone would still have been shooting people up and selling heroin but I doubt they'd have become as filthy rich as they did.

Photo shopped??I agree, it does have the look of a shopped pic, but it's still a pretty funny picture, especially the one in the first row, in white she/he kinda looks like my sister O_o

I'm not disagreeing with you on that note. I just don't judge their efforts as harshly. They were a relatively small grassroots group with legitimate social concerns. Their method for fixing it was radical and, as history shows, a complete failure, but I'm not going to condemn them for trying to do good when it was far easier to do nothing.

Prohibition is just one of the earlier examples of a social movement that at immediate face value I can definitively say "Wow. This is so misguided I'm too mad to laugh."

I would take the approach of "Wow. This is so misguided I'm too mad not to laugh."

Exactly my point.
And there's nothing wrong with that. I still have people poking at me for being a radical English language/grammar/spelling bully. x_x
