You've called me a dumb ass and an idiot.  For not buying a lottery ticket.
And for being aware of the rough odds of various types of illnesses and
accidents.

Yes, Americans definitely do get drunk and drive and it would be much
better if there was more public transportation to get the drunks off
the road.

What an absolute cop out! Learn to drink responsibly.

Most do.  But there are 300 million of us.

I drink and drive all the time.....I don't drive drunk.

Not till you get caught at it anyway. As he said, Pot/Kettle.

OK, next question: why is the US road death rate about three and a

It could be said everyone who drinks and drives does so deliberately,
regardless of their nationality.

Fine them, take their licences and/or throw them in jail. It's not like
it's a new law and there are plenty of 'self help' agencies out there that
alcoholics can turn to for help. If thats what it takes to snap them into
reality, so be it. Thats what laws are for? To reform people?

That is the real question, and we're not just talking about drunks
anymore here. Reform them into what? In who's image? Laws have
never made a good neighbor out of a bad one.




Re. the drunk drivers....Reform them into 'recovering alcoholics'.
Make the AA meetings compulsory?

Laws may not make a bad neighbour a good one, but they will haul him
off to jail if he breaks them.

You're an odd one, talking all bold and brassy on one hand, and then
hiding behind nanny law skirts on the other. No, laws are not about
reform. They're about punishment when you harm your neighbors. If you
want reform, seek it on your own, before the fact. Your belated
gathering of commonsense after flattening my mailbox or FIL helps me
precisely in what way? When I demand a pound of your flesh in
compensation, will I be satisfied with "I'm truly sorry, Gov. I've
learned me lesson now."






So if my neighbor is causing trouble and I harm him, I get punished,
but if I call the cops I'm hiding behind nanny law skirts?

When/where did the flattening of the mailbox happen!?

Ever wonder why a Native American peace pipe is called a "peace"
pipe?

Halloween is slowly taking off here, but I don't like the extortion

'Soprano's'...... :)

Now what gets me is how a civilized and affluent society can dress
their children up in tacky clothing and send them door to door begging
for the worst kind of food.
