Bill filed to allow liquor sales on Sunday

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT. SELLING ALCOHOL ON SUNDAY WON'T MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE. I THINK MOST PEOPLE DRINK HARD LIQOUR ON FRI. SAT. NIGHTS AND REST UP FOR WORK ON SUNDAY(BE IT IN CHURCH, OR IN BED WITH A HANGOVER,HA-HA)AND IN ALL THESE YEARS IF SOMEONE WANTED A DRINK ON SUNDAY THEY BROUGHT IT ON SAT.SO LET'S JUST LEAVE IT LIKE IT IS. I'VE NEVER KNOWN ANYONE TO DROP DEAD ON SUNDAY BECAUSE THEY COULD'NT DRINK UNTIL MONDAY."CHEERS!"

Prostitution?! I'm laughing inside. If you're so "Christian" why don't you ask yourself, WWJD? He certainly wouldn't insult people to get them to listen. I believe in God, I also drink on Sunday. It's my way of resting and taking a break from my everyday stress so that I can enjoy what God has blessed me with. I don't see how liquor sales on Sunday is going to hurt you or your fellow "Christians". Like a few posts said, the drunks who are dumb enough to drink and drive are, unfortunately, smart enough to stock up before Sunday. The more you insult and push your beliefs on people the more ignorant and ridiculous you sound.

To all you poor pathetic people who are for Sunday liquor sales, I pity you. As for the separation of church and state, please read and understand this. This means there is to be no one particular religion. As for taxi driver comment, if this passes, I know you will be tickled to death for the extra drunks to haul. I'm expressing my opinion just like the rest of you and if you don't like my opinion, you will have to answer for the choice you make one day. As for the "private club" comment, I'd rather be a Christian and go to heaven than to spend eternity in hell where there will be weeping, gnashing of teeth and yes, remembrance of times repentance could have taken place but wasn't. So, go ahead and consume your alcohol. Just don't drink and drive and don't ask to be placed on a liver transplant list because that's what you're doing is destroying that most important vital organ. If you have children, grandchildren, or any relative, just walk up to them now and tell them that you don't love them because actions speak louder than words and you're indicating to them that you don't care. I don't condone cigarettes, beer, or drugs either but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Call me what you want but I know one thing. I'm a born again believer and I'm not ashamed to worship my LORD JESUS CHRIST on Sunday or whatever day to the week you might want to call it. I hope you all repent and see the need to want to spend eternity in heaven.

If you have a religious objection to buying or consuming alcohol on Sunday, DON'T DO IT! Don't force your religion on me, and I won't force mine on you. Let's get rid of this "private club" nonsense while we're at it.

Here in Wilmington as well as across the state there are thousands of Taxi Drivers who would be more than happy to drive you home if you choose to drink any day of the week. If you want to ban Liquor sales on Sunday you might as well close the pharmacies too, many of their prescription drugs are much worse than a drink. I know of many alcoholics who can get just as drunk off of beer sold on Sunday as they can a bottle of Liquor. As to the Sabbath, Southeastern North Carolina is the home to one of the LARGEST Pagan populations in the USA, and let's not forget that the Catholic Church is one of the largest consumers of alcohol, not to mention larger than the Baptist Church. So I hope this does pass and that those opposed to it mind their own business and just not shop for Liquor on your own Sabbath and leave my Sunday alone.

I don't agree with Senator Tony Rand introducing a bill to allow liquor sales on Sunday. He should never had introduced such a bill. Cities like Wilmington where the crime is terrible will have additional problems to deal with. At least on Sundays, the alcoholics couldn't buy liquor. What was Sen. Rand thinking about? Getting revenue for North Carolina should not be done in compromising the sabbath day. No good will come out of this. I would be afraid to be Sen. Rand. It seems that by his actions, you can certainly tell that he is not a believer in Jesus Christ and what is good and decent. This bill will not be good for North Carolina and I hope it will fail in the House and Senate. I encourage everyone to contact your representatives and express your opinion against this bill.

I guess anything goes now, doesn't it? The state needs the money, so we will get it anyway we can, even if it means putting more people on the road that drink!!! Doing anything for money - isn't that called prositution? Just wondering!

Tobacco is just as bad as acohol and you can buy them on sunday.So sell acohol on sunday

Do the people in Raleigh have no respect for for the Sabbath Day ? Sunday is to be a day of rest and worship. I know we need more jobs, but Sunday is The Lords Day, let the people who drink get what they want on Saturday, hopefully they will run out and instead of being able to buy more liquor they just might go to church. I did and if I can anyone can. TEW
