It wasn't in exchange for a blow job, that would be sad.

It was as a thank you for a blow job. She earned it. Really. Damn. Wonder if I can find her number....?

Aahh, good old "but something else happened" logical failure. I knew I could count on B_T for that fallacy.

unless you have someone under 16 in the car. Just saw this and not sure how I feel. One side feels like drinking and driving is serious and should be punished... but I also feel like it is something that most people have done before. DWI convictions haunt people forever... and I have a weird feeling that this would change people a lot more because they would be scared to get a second one... should we have any compassion?!

many states have a "ard" program that they send you to if you are a first time offender.

basically you pay some money, go to classes and in 6-12 months the charges disappear off your record.

What exactly is the pre-emptive action going on here?



Not allowing people to drive while intoxicated, whatever that definition may mean since it seems to move around a lot.

If you can pass your driving test while intoxicated, I would think you had an argument.

By filling your body with a mind altering drug (alcohol) and then getting behind the wheel of a 3000 lbs car that can kill people, you are in essence, throwing responsibility out the window. .



Some people don;t need a drug to be dangerous behind a wheel, they could have a neurological chemical imbalance, they could be absent-minded, they could be going senile, the could just be very inexperienced

You appeal to emotion fallacy is noted and ignored as usual

If we examine this post very carefully we might be able to figure out what's wrong with BT.

Is it sad that I think it would be cool to be allowed to do a intoxicated driving test? (Note: I cab it to the bar and buddies houses and never drink and drive.)

But to humor BT I will address his stupidity. You are only given the privilege to operate a vehicle because at some time in the past you exhibited the skill necessary to do so in accordance with standards set by the state. You may at some time in the future arrive at a mental capacity deemed not fit to drive. As we are not the thought police you would need to be observed by an officer operating a motor vehicle in what seems to be an unsafe condition. During a contact with that officer he may request you be tested.

Some elements, such as consumption, are known to lesson ones ability to safely operate a vehicle. Because of this, there are laws in place forbidding this. If you chose to do so anyway you may find yourself in trouble.
