I wonder where are all the "its my right to drink and drive" people?
there was some recent threads about drinking and driving and a number of people there thought that had some god-given right to intoxicate themselves and get behind a 3 ton metal machine and drive at high speeds on the roads and endanger families and others...why?...well "because they got lucky last week so they should be able to do it again...only time to take action is when someone is actually hurt or killed...its silly to try to take any preventative measures because it violates their civil rights"....or some asinine, entitled, selfish reasoning like that...one poster thought that he should have the right to drive as drunk, as fast, and even down the wrong lane if he wanted and that all these "traffic laws" were violating his "civil rights"..or some crap like that..
so ,here we have a person that got as drunk as we want and went as fast as he wanted...now he payed the price...so I wonder....what do the "its my right to drink, drive and endanger everyone" people have to say to this news....or do they think this is propaganda from MADD to get donations or something?..wouldn't surprise me..
I will never say that i am happy that someone has died no matter how or who they are, i just won't go there, because of his stupidity his family and those that care about him, are the ones who will suffer.
This is what i hate with a passion, and sorry it is true, but those that have a capacity to drink so much and cannot handle their liquor, in no way should drive, this also go's for some of the thick heads i know who have done this in the past it is wrong. One false move, and you either can kill yourself, or the innocent people around you. So many feel they can handle their liquor, one false move behind a machine and that is it. People have a right to do as they choose, but drinking and driving, is a death sentence waiting to happen.
I used to watch Siskel and Ebert way back when they were on PBS on At The Movies. I always thought Siskel was the better of the two to give opinions and reviews. Ebert just had a large ego and let his personal tastes get in the way of giving honest and accurate reviews whereas Siskel was more objective and more concerned about the actual quality of the film.
Ebert's has had his share of problems and has become more cynical and less prone to keep his personal opinions in check. I don't consider the Jackass films to even be films, just videos some people like to watch, like the Girls Gone Wild videos or YOU Tube reality videos. Its too bad the guy died, but he was drunk and thats the end of it. You don't have to comment on it, it happens every day. I'm not sure Ebert's opinion even matters or is relevant.
People lambasted Ebert for putting this idiot down. Now, he has been proven to be right on.
This "jackass" idiot is a MURDERER. I don't care what he did, 2, 6, 10 yrs ago. He got into a car, with a blood alcohol content of .19 and drove between 130 and 140 miles an hour, KILLING his passenger. It makes HIM a MURDERER.
I have NO sympathy for him. NONE. ZIP. ZILCH. ZERO. I hope the family of the dead man sues the hell out of the estate of Dunn and takes every single dime he has...and then some.
He should move to Massachusetts and run for Senator.
He should not apologize for this, but he should apologize for being a liberal and an enemy of the United States. Also for recommending some gay ass movies to the general public.
?????
What does this have to do with the topic?
Oh yeah, nothing at all.
I wonder how many people would still be crying for this moron had he run down a mom and her three kids.
And it's sort of funny to hear people say "oh, he made a terrible mistake"....
Mashing the gas pedal to the floor in excess of 120mph, after you knowingly got in your car wasted? That's no mistake. Those are conscious and deliberate decisions.

What do you do if you see your friend, who is known to be reckless, about to get in a fast car and drive while they're obviously drunk?
Answer: You take their keys and call them a cab. You DO NOT get in the car with them.
I had a friend who would try and drive every time she drank too much. I took her keys. I made her leave her car in the parking lot. We got a cab home. I eventually dissuaded her from driving to the bar in the first place.
Anybody that lets their friend get in a car and drive while hammered is also culpable. If you can't get the keys, get the bartender to help. Otherwise, if something happens, the bartender is also going to be held responsible. There is potential for several ruined lives.
To go ahead and get in the car with them is ridiculous, and just as reckless.
Your kidding me? I guess your son or daughter made a decision when they got behind the wheel of a car, and someone, ANYONE, was drunk, driving a 140 mph, slammed into them and killed them.
If only that woman wouldn't have worn revealing clothings; she wouldn't have been raped. If only my wife would have made dinner; I wouldn't have beaten her a$$.
My god. People can make an excuse over ANYTHING. The A$$HOLE is a MURDERER. If he were alive today, he would be charged with MURDER. HE is no better, then the thousands of people, sitting on death row today.
No wonder criminals walk away everyday. Liberal sentiment such as this.
+20 for working in a liberal slam in your post. Good job.
