I just don’t understand drinking and driving

Bollocks. He, like you, just wants to indulge his own passions. All that really matters is your own pleasure. Neither of you gives a **** about anyone else.

I'm interested to know what happened to her.. And, if you ever stayed in touch with the kids, assuming you were married for a little while.

David, stop pestering me about those videos.

then to CONFESS that u were in error as to the wisdom
of making statements to the police qua crimes where of u r suspected.

I think people, who are suspected of crimes,
should have an attorney present when making statements to the police.

U think THAT is a plausible answer????? Anyone can actually BELIEVE that????

anyone less disconnected than you are from life as we 99 %'ers live it will, I believe, find my answer plausible. i believe that you are not capable of comprehending that some of us use our computers so long and so hard that the keyboards break down. however your alleged Mensa brain should have saved you when you realized that i rarely failed to capitalize till two months ago.....which happened to be when my main shift key stopped working. i can get the one on the right side, but this is not natural for me and slows me down. being busy as i am i dont like to be slowed down. i also have not gone to an expert to see if i can get the keyboard rehabbed for the same reason of lack of time.

who peed in your Ovaltine tonight anyways? you are usually nicer.

in many places in America: sodomy - dont do it -law is law

Fifth amendment .......

WHICH section of it??

The sodomy section.

I have to admit, I don't think people should be allowed to drive
if they're sodomising someone at the same time.

interesting to this thread i got stopped tonight for the first time ever for suspicion of drunk driving....i had been drinking but passed. i should have been about .035.

mostly i was annoyed. i have driven many times above .15 (youth mostly) with zero problems so maybe i am losing the ability to drive drunk with age. i will file this information away in my brain for further reference.

LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Police across Washington state arrested more than 1,600 people during a recent drunken-driving enforcement campaign.
The Daily News of Longview reports (http://is.gd/v7OCx4) that according to statistics from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, 1,603 drivers got busted during this summer's "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed" campaign, which ran from Aug. 17 to Sept. 3.
A grant from the Traffic Safety Commission paid for the extra patrols. The commission says August is typically one of the deadliest months on Washington's roads.

Polo tycoon John Goodman was found guilty today of DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide by a Florida jury.

The six-person jury, comprised of five men and one woman, signalled that they had reached a verdict today after 5.5 hours of deliberation.

He could be given 30 years in prison when sentenced on April 30.

The judge denied defense attorney Roy Black's request for Goodman to be released on bail and Goodman was taken into custody.

Goodman's Bentley slammed into Scott Wilson's Hyundai and sent it into a nearby canal in Wellington, Fla., in February 2010. Wilson, a 23-year-old engineering graduate, was still strapped into the driver's seat and drowned.

Wilson's mother was tearful as she left the courtroom. "I know that it took a lot for them come up with a conclusion and justice has been served. I'm always going to miss my son," Lili Wilson said. "I will always share his memories. And now, coming from me and the rest of the family and his friends, it's time for the healing process to begin."

Scott Wilson's father William Wilson exited the courtoom and his attorney made a statement on his behalf.

"Mr. Wilson lost not only his son, but his best friend, an engineering colleague and a Florida Gators fan," the attorney said.

The attorney said his client is "still inflicted with harrowing pain, grief and sorrow that cannot be shaken," two years after his son's death.

The multi-millionaire founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach claims his $200,000 car malfunctioned and lurched forward. He has also denied being drunk at the time of the crash that killed Wilson, although other testimony has contradicted him and his blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit three hours after the crash.

"I think that justice was served. I think [jurors] were very careful," prosecutor Ellen Roberts said at a news conference. "They went over a lot of evidence and I think they probably returned the only verdict they could."

Roberts said she would not know what sentence she planned to recommend to the judge until she spoke with the Wilson family.

Defense attorney Roy Black left stopped briefly as he came out of the courtroom and said, "I have no comment. I have nothing further to say at this time." He later issued a statement saying that Goodman will appeal the conviction.

"It is our belief that multiple errors were committed during and before the trial that, in effect, denied our client's ability to get a fair trial. We intend to file an appeal so that our client can receive the just and fair proceeding to which he is entitled by law," Black said.

Goodman's mother was sobbing as she left the courthouse.

When attorneys from both sides had their last chance to appeal to jurors in Thursday's closing arguments, they battled about the events of the night of the accident, focusing on how much Goodman had to drink.

"The defendant was impaired, the defendant was speeding, the defendant ran a stop sign, the defendant probably unintentionally had too much to drink that night," prosecutor Sherri Collins said in her closing arguments. "And when the crash happened, did he go around and look at the front of the car to see what he hit or to the canal that was three feet away? No, he headed south."

"He didn't do any of the things that are required by law and, ladies and gentlemen, there is no excuse for that," she said.

ruining both lives seems kind of pointless unless you think that the next person will decide not to get hammer and drive because of such punishments.

He should had taken off with his resources to some nice country that does not exerdite to the US then sit in a prison for 16 years.

Yes, dear driving drunk and killing someone give you far far far greater excused to exercise your blood lust but having someone sit in a cell for 16 years at great expense to the taxpayers is not going to bring the other driver back to life
