I hate to agree with relapse, but this is trying way to hard to be edgy and makes you seem like a fucking idiot.

If only putting someone on forum ignore hid all threads created as well.

Or if you could filter specific forums.....or peoples names.... Would really clean up my new posts list!

period.

As someone who has not only lost a family member, but also their best friend, to a drunk driver, I take significant offense to your comment. Hope someone kicks the shit out of you.

Not funny, not witty, and your an asshole - period.

I love it when reckless shitty drivers dont take responsibility for being a reckless and horrible drivers and instead blame it on the alcohol.

Take responsibility for yourself. Millions of people drive drunk 3 nights a week for the entire duration of their lives...dont blame the alcohol, blame the recklessness.

If you can drink and drive and not hurt a soul, that should be an innate and universal right of yours.

Try to take the emotions out of your position and look at it objectively.

Driving while drunk is reckless, in and of itself.

Sentence should be 10 years, even if by luck no one gets hurt.

Its not up to you to deem what is or what isnt "reckless" for another person if they do not harm anyone. Privately you can think that or say that, but if you vote for politicians that throw people in jail when they have never harmed a soul and just got caught driving with alcohol in their system, you are an ass hole.

Mind your own business and let people do what they want...there are tons of more dangerous things people do in their vehicles that need to be looked at.

Since everyone drinks and drives, the local governments have made the point of intoxication lower and lower and made the sentences higher and higher.

Its a racket.

An endless stream of revenue for the county.

Dont be fooled by they brainwashing...drinking and driving harms no one....driving recklessly does.

i like to run people over slowly when i drink and drive...does that make less risky to you?

Its far more risky to speed, mess with your radio, talk on your phone, text, talk to a passenger, talk to your kids in the backseat.

Its far more risky to have road rage, to drive while tired etc etc etc etc

The things that you can do that are more risky than drinking and driving while in a vehicle are endless.

You'd have liked my old man Lron. He drank about a case or so a day, sometimes more, cheap beer typically (had a particular fondness for Milwaukee's Best). Drank that way from probably the late 40's up until he passed away. Drove that way too, pretty well never saw him drive anywhere without an open beer in the car. Wrecked a '59 Buick only a couple months after he bought it new, but always swore the bartender slipped him a mickey.

Well, one day, sometime around 2003 or therabout, Dad was getting up in years and was a bit more affected by the beer than he had been in days past (heavy smoking lowering blood oxygen levels probably didn't help any). Well one day that I happened to be over visiting, he gets in his truck to go to the store (to buy another couple cases, I imagine), and manages to miss the driveway and hang the truck up on a telephone pole cable stay in the front yard. Being not quite of sound mind at the time, he attempted to free it by putting the truck in drive and flooring the throttle, throwing up a nice cloud of tire smoke but not accomplishing anything else of note.

Just then the local cop happens to come by on his rounds. Naturally, seeing what's happening he pulls up and asks what's going on. Dad, in addition to liking his beer, had a lifelong disrespect for cops in general. So the cop asks, "what's going on here?" Dad's response is something to the effect of , "Go away, I'm fine." Cop looks inside the truck, sees the beer, smells the flagrant beer smell, asks Dad if he had been drinking. Dad replies, "I sure as hell was! I drink a case a day, what're YOU gonna do about it?" Cop says he could arrest dad and take him to jail; dad only answers, "Go ahead and try it! I've been in jail before!" and puts up his fists.

Cop sort of looks at me, not sure what to do with this belligerent ~75 year old dude. I just shrugged and told the cop that he was more or less always like that. Cop sighed, shook his head....then walked back to his police car and drove off. Never heard anything else about it. I wasn't sure what to make of that episode, then or now, but I guess the moral of the story is if you're going to try to drive while drunk, do it as an old dude in a small town.

On a somewhat unrelated note, Dad's idea of being a polite host was always offering anyone who came over a beer. Didn't matter who it was--anyone from his war buddies to priests. Didn't matter how old they were, either. My high school buddies (figure 15/16 years old) REALLY liked coming over.

He had peculiar notions on the usefulness of women as well, but that's for a different discussion.

Wrong.

Driving too slowly is more dangerous. Defend drunk/high driving more.
