Stupid Pet Peeves

Bulletproof said:
I want to point out here, since I'm like the board beer drinker, I don't drink and drive. I just don't. I drink the majority of the time at home, beer that I made myself. When my wife and I go out we select a designated driver. Sometimes it's me. Sometimes it's her. Sometimes neither of us drink. If I go out with friends most of the time my wife will take me to wherever and pick me up. I'm super lucky like that. I don't think there is a blurry line between intoxicated and sober. If you've been drinking, you're intoxicated. Have someone else drive you.

I don't understand your previous point about 0.08 vs 0.14 BAC, then. It seems to directly contradict this post

His point seemed to be more about how the laws need to be made stricter for driving while on your cell as that as is bad as driving with a BAC of 0.14 iirc without looking back to his post, and that lowering the BAC legal limit from 0.8 to 0.5 isn’t really doing anything other than screwing over people who get BAC’s within those two thresholds as it’s so low.

Sure he doesn’t want people drinking and driving but getting pulled over with a BAC of 0.6 and having one’s life ruined as a result is laughable.

I think he was saying that the penalty for driving with a 0.08 BAC should not be the same as driving with a 0.14 BAC. I would agree with that.
It would be like the penalty for shoplifting being the same as the penalty for armed robbery or something.

I think saying that a DUI has ruined your life is extreme.

Expensive? Yeah. Hard to deal with? Yeah. Life ruined? Hardly.

You can lose your job, your career, something you went to college for and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on, and perhaps worked your *** off for on the job for a decade or two. As a result, your wife may leave you and take the kids. These are things that happen. Is it unlikely? Maybe, I guess. But it's very possible.

Better than killing somebody because your (not you obviously) dumbass decided to drive drunk.

Most people that have good jobs, that they’re good at, won’t lose a job because of a DUI. I know a great amount of people that have gotten a DUI, none of them had their lives ruined by it.
 
On topic: People who block the entire isle at the grocery store and act completely oblivious to the line of people trying to get around them.

Off topic: I personally think an ignition interlock device should be required for anyone who gets a DUI, and that should take the place of loss of driving privileges. Because when they suspend your license it doesn't really stop you from driving and doesn't stop you from driving drunk.
 
The penalty for driving while talking on a cell or texting is nowhere near severe enough. It needs to be much harsher than fir drunk driving imo, simply because far far far more people do that than drive under the influence.
 
The junior justice society

Everybody is a busy body anymore and they expect everyone else to be

Leave the sentencing to Justices of the court.

Sorry but Urban Meyer is a football coach. He is not a judge. He is not a cop. He is not a family counselor. Hell he ain't even that dudes wife.

Holding him or the school responsible isn't just ridiculous it is asking for a whole host of issues that neither is prepared or qualified to deal with.

I agree. If he didn't actively attempt to cover up and/or enable abuse I don't see what the hell the issue is. If he was in a position to stop ongoing abuse I could see a point here, but he found out about an incident in which the police were already involved, so there was nothing for him to do. At least that's my understanding of it so far.

Plus don't we want these people to rehabilitate and rejoin society? How are they supposed to do that if we won't/shouldn't hire them?

If not what's the point of serving a sentence? Let's just shoot them and be done with it.
 
People bringing their dogs into businesses. Home Depot, Wegmans, Staples. You ****ing name it.

If someone has a special needs child and that child and you have a legit therapy dog, okay, cool. But I see way too many ****ing adults bringing their dogs into these businesses. I love dogs as much as the next person but ****. Leave that **** at home. You have no condition, and even if you do, you have even bigger problems if you need a dog to help you get by your day in public.

I was a WalMart today and heard a dog barking. I was like "yep, another jackass who brings their dog into places where dogs don't belong."

Utah Title 6.12.150. These asshelmets need citations.

I won't shop at places that allow pets in their stores. I was at a damn Burger King the other day and they served some dude with dogs. WTF manager?
 
If we were going to award driving penalties based on what offense causes the most deaths and accidents, speeding would be the harshest. Maybe it should be.

I agree with a rating system for DUIs.

And I agree about the dogs. I am allergic, and I am not happy about how many people being them everywhere. When questioned, they claim they are a service dog and no one challenges it. My mother is terrified of dogs after having been bitten, and there are getting to be fewer and fewer safe places for her. I realize that dog owners believe that everyone loves their dogs as much as they do, but it is rude and inconsiderate to take them with you everywhere. And it cannot always be comfortable for the dog.

People do go to jail, lose their jobs, which leads to losing their wives and kids though. Bankruptcy can occur as well. No drivers license.

It can ruin someone’s life. Doesn’t mean it always will but depending on the individual situation it can.

And yes it’s still better than killing someone obviously.

I feel the opposite about this. I love dogs being everywhere. I can’t resist petting them all.
I was at the Ute tailgate tonight and there were quite a few dogs and I made sure that me and my daughter played with everyone of them lol.
