I love the alcohol aspect of this country. Either it is the most reckless plague upon society since actual plagues or we should give it to every 18 year old upon high school graduation/enrollment in the armed forces/with the purchase of a cheeseburger and large fries.
The undercurrent is the quality of our culture of responsibility, which is a good discussion to be had, but those two arguments never seem to come into play at the same time otherwise.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

Something my friend learned the hard way; if a cop stops you because you are holding an open beer leaving the subway don't take a last swig right in front of them before you dump it in a garbage can.
Bogart was an excellent chess player, almost of master strength. Before he made any money from acting, he would hustle players for dimes and quarters, playing in New York parks and at Coney Island. The chess scenes in Casablanca had not been in the original script, but were put in at his insistence. A chess position from one of his correspondence games appears in the movie, although the image is a little blurred. He achieved a draw in a simultaneous exhibition given in 1955 at Beverly Hills by the famous chess Grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky and also played against George Koltanowski in San Francisco in 1952 (Koltanowski played blindfolded but still won in 41 moves).
Bogart was a United States Chess Federation tournament director and active in the California State Chess Association, and a frequent visitor to the Hollywood chess club. The cover of the June–July 1945 issue of Chess Review showed Bogart playing with Charles Boyer, as Lauren Bacall (who also played) looks on. In June 1945, in an interview in the magazine Silver Screen, when asked what things in life mattered most to him, he replied that chess was one of his main interests. He added that he played chess almost daily, especially between film shootings. He loved the game all his life.

Do you really have a culture of responsibility?
It seems from the outside that it's much more accepted in the States to always blame someone else for everything.

The quality is generally perceived as being low/very low/non-existent.

No.
We actually have a very strong culture of responsibility.
We are very quick to tell people they need to take responsibility for their actions, while simultaneously blaming someone/something else for our own.

“Bogart did drink. ‘I think the whole world is three drinks behind,’ he used to say, ‘and it’s high time it caught up.’ On one occasion he and a friend bought two enormous stuffed panda bears and took them as their dates to El Morocco. They sat them in chairs at a table for four and when an ambitious young lady came over and touched Bogart’s bear, he shoved her away. ‘I’m a happily married man,’ he said, ‘and don’t touch my panda.’
The woman brought assault charges against him, and when asked if he was drunk at four o’clock in the morning, he replied, ‘Sure, isn’t everybody?’ (The judge ruled that since the panda was Bogart’s personal property, he could defend it.)”
-excerpted from Peter Bogdanovich’s Who the Hell’s In It
In a 1949 LA Times article about Pandagate, Bogart defended his drunken misbehavior on constitutional grounds: “So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.”
I like him, but I'd push him off a cliff if it meant I'd have a shot at Lauren Bacall.

I don't want to get you down or anything but she's pretty old nowadays.

Personal responsibility, then. The societal expectations are high, the follow-through is iffy.

I would like to go back to the 50's and spoiler the future for someone.

"We don't have personal reactors in our homes"
"We do have something called the internet though, it's pretty cool. It's like a series of tubes!"

50's future:
Nuclear fixation. Totally weird vehicles that wouldn't be practical but looked cool. Homosexuality is still a disease. Black people are pretty iffy but I guess some are alright. 500 acre computers will be able to calculate everything and would be totally practical. The moon is probably terraformed in 2000, at the latest.

I'm probably the youngest chatter bar nerdgasmic.
I take this as an invitation to be obnoxious sometimes.
nah, not really. But I still am occasionally, I haven't really said anything truly objectionable in some time. Perhaps losing my touch.
Sorry Honk, I am replacing you in my sig...
That is certainly the question.
We shall not forget this transgression.
I got regrets older than some of you so-called vets.
It was a good run Honk. Don't take it personal. You'll always be my first quote sig.
Yes. We have the technology. We can make her better than she was. Better...stronger...faster.
I've watched Dong Lover's Comedy Central Presents about 7 times today.
I'll talk bad about you in the school hallways, but will secretly remember the time we had with great joy and nostalgia.

Yeah, that will throw em for a loop.
Oh and Japanese cars are higher quality than US cars.

With they I mean everyone that was alive in 1950.
WTF NASA!
