    The Not Funny Drunk Driving Thread

    Don't wanna go all preachy on yer asses so just this: family friends were just in an accident, two girls driving 35 mph hit by a drunk driver passing at the crest of a hill going 75-100 mph per police estimations. The 15 year old has a crushed heel that may never come back together; the 20 year old has two broken femurs, two broken tibias and a broken kneecap; both have multiple other injuries.

    I see a lot of jokey references to drinking and driving around here, and to past DUIs...so you know where I'm going with this. Please, think about it.
    I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

    Glad your friends are alright, it sounds like it could have been much, much worse.

    In a similar nonpreachy frame, drugs are not an excuse for acting like an asshole. It's the behavior and not the drugs that are to blame.

    I'm not saying drinking & driving is a good thing,& this person deserves time,But driving insanely,& wantonly dangerously like that can be accomplished under a wide variety of circumstances,& all are bad.

    Best wishes to you friends.

    sorry to hear that about your friends, I hope they recover quicky.
    I resolve PC issues remotely. Need to get rid of all that pr0n you downloaded on your work laptop? Or did you just get a ton of viruses from searching for "geriatic midget sex"? Either way I can fix them. PM Me for maggot prices.

    Dui's suck to all who are involved, both those who get busted and any victims suffering...unfortunately, I have been on both sides and would not wish either on anyone.

    In all the human walks of life--driving, social, relationships, health, sports, recreation, spiritual, legal, internet, work...to me it is simple:

    Just don't do stupid shit

    Still, it seems to be a hard concept to follow for many (sometimes including my dumb-ass self)...

    peace,
