lunchtime philosophy

As many of you people know, lunch is the time where great philosophers are born, exciting discoveries are made or the world's problems get solved...today we had an philosphic highlight...

First the topic was "drugs" (no, not what you think...because of our iran colleague who was supposed to be addicted to bongs - stereotyping! *g* but was really just joking...amnesty int. can stay at home ^^). Then our Aussie asked "why the hell are drugs like this vorbidden in germany?" The answer of my fellow-intern: "Man, here in Australia it is vorbidden to drink alcohol on street...what are you complaining about?"...Answer of the aussie colleague: "yeah, but that's not because it is a drug, but because Aussies tend to lose control after drinking and punch each other in the face or sth like that..." (laughing...)...then somehow the topic turned, of course in these days, to the usa...and the aussie colleague said: "man, can't understand those americans...it's even that easy or easier to buy guns in canada, but you'll never hear from such cruelty from canada..." - again the german answer: "yeah mate...and in germany you can buy alcohol a lot easier than here but still nobody is punching each other in the face..."
back to work...
