ALL DAY

Kids need to have the fear of God put in them about the dangers of alcohol, because if they don't, they could end up dead. Kids need to understand that alcohol isn't something that you can play around with. If they are not taught these things, than they end up like the freaking nuts cases on here who think that getting behind the wheel after a few drinks is perfectly ok. If you get behind the wheel above the legal limit, you are clearly looking to kill yourself or another innocent human and that is it. There is a reason that we are instructed to drink with moderation; when you get above the legal limit, you are a danger of doing foolish things like getting behind the wheel and taking a life. People who decide to break the law and do these things anyway should locked up and if they are not locked up, they are better off dead because alcohol is a one lane highway that leads to nowhere but death.

The bottom line is that if you are 21 or older than you are given the privledge to drink if you so choose. With this privledge comes the responsibility of knowing the law. If you are above the legal limit whatsoever and you choose to still get behind the wheel, you are breaking the law and you will pay the consequences. The law is in place to prevent people from doing stupid things and endangering themselves and others. If people would just follow the law and put down the freaking keys when above the legal limit, then everything would be fine. But if someone gets behind the wheel above the legal limit, they are a speeding bullet that is just looking for a target to strike. It is a wonderful thing that people like this could spend up to 15 plus years in prison, because they are off the streets and no longer a danger to the public. Say what you want about the laws and how you don't agree with them; but at the end of the day, I hope and pray that people who choose to ignore the law will spent everyday of their freaking life in a prison cell until they are no longer a cancer to humanity.

No, Donte is not unlucky at all. He made a stupid decision and now he has to pay the consequences.

And yes, this could happen to anyone, right. If you go out and have a few drinks at dinner and then hit a guy running accross the street, you are still at fault. You are the idiot who knew he had been drinking, yet didn't hand over the keys and in turn, took an innocent life. And you are the person who will hopefully be locked up for 15 plus years.

Hey H-Town, kids today should FEAR the dangers of drinking and driving b/c they are real dangers and people take them far too lightly. The kids should be cynical. And yes many people do drive drunk all the time, without consequences, BUT WHY SHOULDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING BUT DISCOURAGE DRINKING AND DRIVING. When you get behind the wheel drunk, there is a possibility that you or someone else could get seriously injured or die bc they were impaired. You don't think that this is something that kids today should understand?

And if I was a parent, I would hope that my child knew the dangers of drinking and driving and FEARED the consequences bc I would not want that child to take the dangers too lightly, get in a car and kill himself or someone else.

I'm not giving anyone any holier than thou because I am not holier than anyone. I mess up everyday and I am willing to admit that. I'm not saying that I'm holier than thou bc I don't drink; I'm just saying that it is sad that so many people die every year bc someone made the decision to drive drunk. It blows me away that people see the affects of drunk driving all the time, but still continue to do it. And i don't buy the argument that people can be responsible when drunk, because i'm sure that everyone who has ever gotten behind the wheel drunk thought the same thing.

I'm not holier than thou, I'm a sinner just like everyone else who is saved by the grace of God. However, I have seen the affects that alcohol and drinking and driving can have on an individual and it is unbelievable to me that people do not care.

ALEX- It is sad to here that you say this, but I know that when I die, I will be met by my Lord and Savior at the gates of Heaven and it is my hope that you will also.

FIGHTNG TIGER - Darwin or whoever the heck else might claim that "humans are animals" but that is straight up bs.

Animals don't have free will like humans do, they don't have souls like humans do, they don't go to heaven or hell and they don't answer for their actions on Judgement Day like humans do. We were created with a purpose by the Creator.

So no, we are not animals, we are people.

NOBODY - I would not personally make the decision to kill my dog or any other dog, BUT if one decides to do such a thing, I don't see any harm in it. Sure it is cruel, but it can't be compared to other crimes such as DUI, etc. If I wanted to go outside and hang my dog from a tree, I would do it. A dog is a dog - all it is is a freakin animal.

couldn't agree with ya more Goose

Hey buckeye -
Yes Vick's actions were intentional and frequent, but there was nothing wrong with his actions at all.

You say that Stallworth's actions were accidental- when you get behind the wheel drunk you are knowinly showing no regard to your life, or the life of others and there is nothing accidental about that- it is selfish and intentional

You also say that many people have driven drunk - that is correct but it doesn't make it right- those who have driven drunk or do drive drunk will end up 6 feet under at a very young age or locked up for a long time because of commiting murder. Is drinking alcohol worth these consequences - I think not.
