If stupidity was a crime BT would be in lockup.

And you'd be in solitary confinement.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

In BT's world no one should be punished for shooting firearms in crowded, urban areas until they actually kill someone or damage property. Even if there was a 10% chance they'd kill/wound someone, hey we got lucky so who cares!

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

Using a logical fallacy to try and refute a perceived fallacy is super FAIL.

They call them accidents for a reason, don't they?

BT might have a point if driving a motor vehicle were a right instead of a privilege.

I'd rather see the DUI laws relaxed on the lower end of the spectrum and tightened up at the higher end of the risk/harm spectrum. Emphasis on circumstances and actual risk over stringent BAL cutoffs.

Please explain to me in detail how American society as a whole would survive without personal transportation.


Since Henry Ford, it's not necessarily been a society based on public transport.

But to humor BT I will address his stupidity. You are only given the privilege to operate a vehicle



People were driving before their were licenses, people were flying before certifications .. the inalienable right to travel is not something granted or allowed by government.

Government can either defend this right or attempt to prohibit or regulate it. But it cannot grant what it never had in the first place

it is a right as i explained in my previous post .. what you have here on this thread is a lot of ignorant people who think government has power to grant things. .... they are sadly mistaken

The only government can do is redistribute wealth from those who produce to those who mooch

I think Mangler and BT belong together in a rubber room.
