    This thread is so fucking retarded, people getting all uppity about one guy's choice, sure he's accountable but everyone makes it sound like that you're only accountable if you're drunk.

    Thing is people, and it doesn't change a thing if you lost a loved one, EVERYONE is accountable EVERY TIME, ANYONE turns the keys... so if your drunk, you drive and you don't hurt anyone then your no more to blame then anyone else.

    I mean really if you think about it... society is WILLING to accept the amount of deaths per year so we can all drive. I can't see the difference between giving a sober moron the right to drive and the careful drunk, there is reckless and there is a thought out risk. A risk that is taken anytime, anyone turns the keys, lets face its 30 miles isn't much (although im use to K's) .

    There's a risk in everything, but we kind of need transportation. It makes sense to get upset about a moron driving while not sober, the risks are much greater.

    The general tone and attitude of the people against the original writers actions is not one that is likely to inspire change. If you were truly concerned and not just venting your angers on a man who has, in all likelihood, purposely opened himself up for you to rightfully do so, you would instead be taking a tone of caring and persuasiveness. Instead you take one of anger and demeaning. It is hard to change the world when people wont listen to you, no?

    It depends on the true agenda of the responses... is it to inspire change or merely the egocentric purpose of demonstrating that they are so very right.

    This is a difference I see reflected daily in the rhetoric between those who've been through shit (sometimes of their own choice) and those who've been sheltered and do not know what making a mistake really is all about.

    The OP should have known what was going to happen when he posted it...as I did before I opened it. A mixed bunch of ideas and opinions battling back and forth for pages upon pages for what is right.

    All one can do is listen to others mistakes, learn from your own...and move through life on the path you create
