Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Unfortunately, the people who drink and drive probably would not be scared by it unless something happens to them... and that is often death, so they can't learn. It's very horrible that their ignorance affects us, too. 5 kids from my high school were killed by a drunk driver, and 3 others were injured. It'll keep happening though. -_-

That is so tragic. May I ask, what was the relation of the passenger to the driver?

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Did the driver survive? That tends to happen a lot for some unknown reason.

For the incident I mentioned, the driver did survive, too. I'm not sure of his fate, but it seems to be karmic payback working out.

Yeah, the driver did survive, not that I'm happy about it. According to the police report the passenger (Jocelyn) was pushed out of her seat and onto the driver's lap. The area of the car that normally held the passenger seat was were the tree was. The car was literally bent 90 degrees in the middle, the picture in todays paper says it all. Also, apparently alcohol was not as big a factor as I originally thought. The driver's BAC was .07. Just under the legal limit. Speed and road conditions were a bigger factor. The car was traveling about 100 KPH, which is highway speed for most parts of the world.

#3 People I want to lazer with a spartan laser.

Drunk drivers. Right behind emo's, and ahead of the dumb asses that decided to ride with a drunk driver.

Both driver and passenger were equally mental.

Shut you're -blam!- pie-hole and show some respect you ignorant little -blam!- wallet. We're talking about an innocent young person, who probably had no -blam!- clue what was in store for her. I'm sorry but up until now I thought you were a half decent person. Maybe you should go think for a long while about how you would feel if that had happened in front of your house. I think you'd be surprised at what it feels like. I am.

Don't want to sound cruel or anything... But this is what happens when you drink and drive and she learned her lesson.

when you do something bad, and your parents hit/spank you: thats learning your lessen.
When someone else is a horrible driver, been drinking and ends up hitting a tree and kills you, no lessen is learned.

I stopped paying attention to anything Walmart posts a long time ago. He just posts anything that he knows will get a rise out of people. Things he wouldn't dare say in person.

Anyway my ex-wife rolled up on a accident that just happened on a Halloween night some years ago. A car full of teenagers was chasing another car that had thrown eggs at them. Driver lost control hit a tree and all three passengers died. She had nightmares for weeks and we stopped driving down that road after that night.

Don't worry about walmart, he's just a crappy persron.

That's the thing that always infuriates me about drunk driving accidents that turn fatal, the drunk driver is usually fine and has to live with the guilt of taking someone else's life.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with Halo, but I'm posting this anyways. Flame me if you want, I don't care.


Ok, on sunday Oct 8th at 3 am I woke up to a horrible sound from outside. I looked out the window and saw a small Chevy Cobalt wrapped around the tree across the street from my house. The driver (who was drunk) lost control of his car about three houses down and slid sideways into the tree. The passenger, Jocelyn Lavoie, was killed on impact. She was only 17 years old. This tragedy should not have happened, and I really wish people would wake up and realize that sooner or later their drunk driving is going to catch up with them. Everytime I leave my house I look at the shrine that has been put up in Jocelyns memory and it reminds me to slow down a little bit and be more careful behind the wheel (or handlebars)

I felt I had to post this because the accident has been on my mind for the last four days. And I hope that by reading this someone will think twice about getting behind the wheel after "tossing back a few"
