The law, morality and what is deemed "ok"

Question 99: People who post on the internet and use poor spelling and grammar on a PC that can use a simple, effective and free spell checker?

It should be a crime!

Just because some idiots drunk drive doesn't mean it can't be done.

Some people as already stated respond differently. I don't get drunk yet I'd still be over the limit as i have done tests in my house where I have scored 0.50 and i've been perfectly sober, not feeling a thing.

I know for a fact I can do anything when i've had a drink. Those people who killed your mates obviously couldn't handle their drink. Loads of people can be considered over the limit but can drive perfectly fine without a problem.

As stated, i know people who've drunk and drive and are some of the safest drivers on the road. Don't blame everyone for a few idiots who got behind the wheel when they weren't in the condition to drive. Thats individual idiocy. They should have done a self risk assessment.

Quoted for LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That post doesn't make you come across as well constructed, smart and well educated.

You come across as the total opposite. I am just disappointed there are still people like you around, alive.

Just remember, when you crash your car, make sure you use you super drink drive ability and aim it at a tree and not a little girl.

I don't drink and I'm drive. Im just saying thousands of people can do it safely without a problem. Yes, there are many thousands more who can't handle their drink and are retarded and get behind the wheel but its unfair to say it has the same effect on everyone.

If you studied science thoroughly and did chemistry and biology you'd be aware that different chemicals have different effects on different people.

I would never drink drive purely on the fact that I don't see the point in doing so. The student union is on my door step.

It is not about whether it can be done, but whether it should be done...and the vast majority of people here and the prevailing moral and legal position on drink-driving is that it should not be done and is unacceptable, immoral and irresponsible.

Unfortunately alcohol impairs the decision making process, this is also supported by science, so even if someone is safe to drive, their ability to judge that would be questionable and by implication even if what you say is true, if someone was capable of making a safe judgement on their ability, they would also be able to realise that the extra £5 to get a taxi home would be the better decision in the circumstances, especially as their judgement would tell them that it is illegal whether they are capable or not and they risk losing their licence, not forgetting that their judgement would also tell them that alcohol could impair their judgement and they would likely unaware of that.....so this implies that those that are capable to drive whilst under the influence do not and the only ones that do are those whose decision making processes are impaired enough to make driving a dangerous and unsafe proposition.

I'm worried that I agree with Lucid, The worlds fattest man can have 20+ pints and not be "drunk" despite being well over the limit, I still wouldn't trust him behind the wheel lol

Fair enough.

My argument is that it can be done though. Which was the whole point.

It shouldn't be done, no, from a moral point of view.

From a scientific point of view it can be done!
 
Ok, more questions below

Question 4
If a women is raped, yet abortion is against her religion, should she keep the baby or not?

Question 5
Is is acceptable for a person to accept blood/organs to save their life, even though it's against their religion? (I like this question because to be honest, when it comes to live and death, religion can jump out the window lol)

You sure like to be controversial don't you? You should apply for a job on talkSPORT.

Body mass might have a sliding scale on the affect of unit of alcohol.

However, where is the line? do you subjectively take into account per person, measure their weight when they get caught drive driving? Or do you make a legislation that is fair across the board with a bottom-line?

And from a scientific point of view. There are many many studies on this by people with PHD and Msc that proves alcohol has a negative affect on the body and mind and most importantly, reaction time over many years and decades. People who have doctorate in the subject. You studies Chemistry and Biology? Specifically done research and wrote a 100,000 piece of affect of alcohol on the body with blind tests and statistical research have you?

Or do you mean read a few text books on the subject while doing your degree in your undergrad?

I'll repeat what I said earlier:

Unfortunately alcohol impairs the decision making process, this is also supported by science, so even if someone is safe to drive, their ability to judge that would be questionable and by implication even if what you say is true, if someone was capable of making a safe judgement on their ability, they would also be able to realise that the extra £5 to get a taxi home would be the better decision in the circumstances, especially as their judgement would tell them that it is illegal whether they are capable or not and they risk losing their licence, not forgetting that their judgement would also tell them that alcohol could have impaired their judgement and they would likely be unaware of that.....so this implies that those that are capable to drive whilst under the influence do not and the only ones that do are those whose decision making processes are impaired enough to make driving a dangerous and unsafe proposition.

In other (less) words...if you are capable of driving, you are also capable of knowing that you shouldn't.
