Ryan Dunn died in a car crash

[ceo]

I heard on the radio that Westboro Baptist Church is planning a protest at his funeral.

I'm guessing most of the people here have drank and drove at some point. Then they say dumb shit like they don't feel sorry for the guy instead of just payin their repect

speak for yourself sir.

"I think i'm okay, nah I didn't drink that much" is not an excuse in court. If a drunk kills your parents, would you buy that excuse? I think not.

Not only here, but it astounds me how many of my friends have confessed to it. And I mean intelligent people with advanced degrees, high military security clearances, police & fire personnel, and others including doctors, lawyers, oilmen/women, and HIGHLY successful and accomplished people with A LOT to lose, besides the possibility of having to lose freedom or limb, and/or live with the guilt of killing innocent bystanders.

Repeating; I just don't understand it.

About the people here; I would think that it might be even easier to see the dangers, and to use the willpower. After all, I doubt if there's ANY successful bodybuilder in the world, who does not have any self-discipline.

i'm a really good drunk driver. i'm probably more dangerous on the road when i don't drink because i'm more spaced out or not prone to pay attention.

i avoid it when i can, but sometimes you can't.

I didn't really believe the last part of what I said. you could always avoid it by not drinking. But there's sometimes where you don't really expect you're going to have a few drinks (i.e. you meet someone out for dinner and they say "lets go have a drink/go out"), and you've already locked yourself into your transportation situation. of course there's been times where i really *have* been shitfaced and i leave my car there and take a cab there and back in the morning. Or just crash at a friend's house nearby.

In Miami, it's very easy especially. The rule is "don't be the worst driver on the road". In Miami, that's REALLY easy to do. There's usually somebody with their lights off, speeding, swerving, not using turn signals, and running red lights or stop signs within viewing distance at all times.

even if you end up drinking when you didn't plan to there is always a cab you could call.

That's what i just said.

But it's not always realistic to do that. Sometimes you can't leave your car there overnight, not to mention you have to cab it home and then cab it back to pick up your car later.

It's usually not really a problem anyways. I always intentionally live close to where the action is so i don't have to worry about that stuff. Either walking distance or short cab ride.

I used to drink and drive all the time when i was younger and stupid after DJing places...then I learned how stupid it was and wised up, now i hate anyone that drinks and drives.
