Already addressed the ridiculous car argument,

I missed that. Where?

As for your other statement.. so? Do you drink? If yes, that would explain your reluctance to restrict your own alcohol.

You said that you had never been directly affected by a drunk driver and my point is that I was and I still think your viewpoint is absurd. And yes, I do drink. Where did I say I don't restrict my own alcohol intake? I had 1 beer tonight. I had a beer over the weekend. Instead of being a judgmental jerk, listen to what people have to say. Do you think that because you've allegedly never had a drink that it makes you special or something?

At any rate, if you're going to make unsupported, idiotic, and assinine comments, use this to help you reach your unfounded conclusions:

I ended this thread on page 1. A couple of posts to congratulate me on my flawless logic and sharp wit would have sufficed, but instead about half of this board has to come in and try to out-troll me, and then it degenerates into yet another fucking discussion on the merits of drunk driving, complete with the "I'd rather you ass fuck Jesus, 50 virgins, and 50 babies to death with Garden Weasel than drive drunk" geniuses, and now there are pics of Obama AND Hillary! IN THIS THREAD!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!

sorry must have confused your post with someone elses post. 5-10 years and 20k in fines would certainly ruin most americans lives completely just as much as jail. So without a car surely they will lose their job. So they can't provide for their family they will likely lose their house, They go on welfare , declare bankruptcy becuase americans dont have any savings let alone 20k. That kind of punishment would be horrible. makes alot more sense to implement a non intrusive technological solution.

Then they shouldn't drive drunk... why should we allow someone to drink drunk AND get caught(which won't be on the first time they do it or even the 10th necessarily) to get back on the road and potentially kill people? DON'T DRIVE DRUNK and you won't get punished. The punishment is supposed to deter you from DOING the bad behavior.

Again, technology can always be bypassed.

You do realize that statistically if they stopped most people out in a city between say 10pm and 3am on any weekend they'd fail a .08 test.

These same people are getting around without incident.

Most of the BAD DUI stuff happens on highways where people have been drinking to beyond excess.

You just don't see many "this dude killed someone and blew a *gasp* .10".

However, it's good media when you can say "he blew 2x the allowable limit".

What's your opinon on robbery, assault, rape, and conspiracy/RICO type arrests? Shoot them roadside?

If most people drive drunk, it is their problem. Hell, up the limit if you feel it is too minimal, but I don't personally agree. Don't drive with ANY alcohol. Only drink alcohol when NO driving would be involved.

As for your last question, if you arrest them, why would you need to shoot them? If you keep them in jail, that is the penalty, and a fine one. If we had a way to make 100% sure about people convicted of murder, then yes, I'd advocate straight out killing them. Unfortunately, we are wrong often enough to dismiss that idea. A DUI has no doubt... either you are drunk or you are not.

It's been proven time and time again anyone that drinks has driven at some point in their lifetimes where they'd probably fair a .08 test. The main problem is that .08 number is different for everyone, also it's a measure of blood in one's respiration which is equally flawed....no scientist would use that method for anything of accuracy.

It's like those that say they'd have always had a condom for all sex acts. They fall into either liars, virgins or those that didn't have much sex at all.

FYI, I have already made plans to do the following on Sunday.

Head to bar at around 11AM to meet some friends from a fantasy football league to watch the early games and talk trash about the league. We're all over 30 and we're all going to drink some beer and eat lunch. Basically I now know that my Sunday afternoon is going to be that of a loser but I've made peace with that.

I can't believe this thread is still going.


I just wanted to know how the rest of the world felt about this. I had no idea it would turn into so many people getting butt hurt.

Why do you think that?

You don't have to just go and get drunk...when I was single and even a few times now married (although my wife doesn't drink), we'd hit the local bar and socialize, listen to the band, watch a game, etc.

Why would you want to "socialize" with the quality of people that go to bars? .... oh...

Have you even been to a bar? You realize that not ALL bars are filled with people getting DESTROYED and grinding on each other right?
