Re: So I\'m going to Prison for 2 years
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Every single person that I have known IRL that has gotten a DUI has been in the second category. Therefore, if someone has a DUI, I am much more inclined to think they have a problem based on my theory. [/ QUOTE ] This surprises me. Like tuq, I have known quite a few people who got DUI's who aren't very big drinkers and happened to be pulled over at the wrong time when they were not that badly inebriated. Came very close to happening to me one time and I'm about the weakest of the weak drinkers. Maybe 2 drinks about once a week, maybe twice. [/ QUOTE ] I agree 100% w/ Ding Dong. Face it, if you don't drink a lot; you don't drive when you do drink. Look at it this way, a cop pulls someone over for speeding. Do you really think it's the only time the driver was speeding? How hard is it to say to yourself, "I've had 3 or 4 beers tonight, I shouldn't be driving."? I drink a lot. I don't start to get a decent buzz until I have 7 or 8 beers; yet I know that I am legally drunk even if I have 4 or 5. I didn't start drinking until I was about 21-22, and I would be shitfaced after 5 or 6 when I first started. BTW- For those of you w/ AAA, you can call them up and they will get a cab for you for free if you are a member. I think it's free for the first 2 or 3 miles and then a charge after that.

Re: So I\'m going to Prison for 2 years
Would I be out of line feeling he got what he deserved if I told you guys that a drunk driver had killed my 2 year old daughter?
Does that change your feelings about whether he deserves jail time for a habit he is OBVIOUSLY not going to change? Or is that still callous, unfeeling, and unreasonable?

[/ QUOTE ] If that happened I'm very sorry, but that's an argument from emotion and should not hold weight according to the law. That's the very platform upon which MADD was built, and they're making a mockery of the courts everytime they influence an increase in sentencing for DUI offenders. Emotion has gotten way too involved

If you don't drink and drive, you won't be behind the wheel when you are intoxicated. You then can't kill someone. Why is that so hard to grasp? It doesn't take "emotion" to know you are doing a stupid thing w/ possibly deadly conscequences. Why is it so hard for tough asses to call a cab when you are drunk? Does the $10 matter that much? Do you have a small penis and get insulted when you are told you have had too much to drink? WTF is wrong w/ some of you people?
