Dude, the TV told Trollheart "drink driving" is bad, m'kay, so that's all there is to it. Don't argue.

The stats are there from the road safety associations: it's not like it's a disputed idea. It happens, all the time. Just because I don't drink does not mean I can't believe what I see in the news. If you saw the wrecks of cars and the funerals we've had to watch here in Ireland (and I'm sure it's the same where you are) you might think twice about dismissing the idea, or saying it's only something a person who drinks can comment on, which I think is possibly one of the least intelligent things you've said on this forum. I don't need to drink to know that drinking and driving don't mix. It's pure common sense.

it's unintelligent to point out that you have no experience to fall back on, meaning you must rely strictly on 2nd hand information, and thus might be unable to detect some of the nuances in this kind of discussion?

i wouldn't have said this prior to our discussion just cause you don't drink or drive. but when you come at it with such an all-or-nothing approach and then announce that you have no experience in either realm, don't get mad at me when i connect those dots for you.

and yea, i've seen tons of tragic drunk driving incidents. they all involved someone who was completely ****faced.

difference is that i try to explain the nuances rather than just posture about how much i know
