Thanks.

If you're so sure that they don't know what drunk driving can lead to, how can you be upset with them for not taking steps to avoid it? How can you solve a problem that you're not even aware of?

Do me a lemon. I'm quite sure they DO know what it can lead to, which is the whole point. A) they know it's against the law B) we've all seen the ads for road safety/don't drink and drive and most importantly c) they have a brain.

@ Batty: don't be dim. I already explained my position vis a vis JTF. I just hope he learns a lesson, like Qwerty says he does too. The post is not directed at any member, but at the behaviour of people in general who think that it's ok to drink and drive.

Also: don't be drunk on your bike. Just as bad.

**** you if you do, did, or intend to do this. You belong in Hell and you should be prevented from ever driving again. It's not that you killed, injured or maimed someone, but that you could have done and you don't give the slightest **** you loser ****.

Here's a whole page of videos showing the consequences of your selfishness and stupidity and ignorance. Knock yourselves out.

Sober drivers kill and maim people, too.

Exactly. People make mistakes, doesn't mean we should go to hell. If he's only speaking about people that hurt other people or God forbid kill them, then maybe they do deserve to go to hell, but mistakes happen and we all learn from them hopefully.

If they do know what it can lead to, then why do they need to watch videos of it? They already know what the videos entail of.

Regarding your points:
A) Laws are largely unethical.
B) Not everybody has a TV.
C) Naivete is not unethical.

It's stupid but definitely not on the same level unless you're an unnuanced moral absolutist.

I’d rather get hit by a bicycle than a car

If you're drive and you know full well you've been drinking, anything that happens while you are knowingly driving under the influence is in fact your fault. Don't drive like an idiot. Yeah mistakes happen but using drinking as an excuse is worse.

The Batlord · 07-25-2018, 09:14 PM

I'm drive 4 lyfe, yo.
