Literally over a thousand innocent children die yearly from drunk driving incidents because assholes and deranged people have easy access to alcohol. And yet theres no conversation about curtailing alcohol use, whats the deal? Even cigarettes receive a worse rap than alcohol, but alcohol use is tied to more deaths via collateral damage. Is it because prohibition was a failure? But what other recourse do we have? --- I don't know my gimmick <cite>Kazi1212 posted [p:896392961] in How many d...

You are not allowed to drink if you are driving so I don't get your point. If you get caught drunk you go to jail and lose your license. I really don't get your point. You aren't allowed to shoot guns at people so I don't get your point. If you shoot guns at people, you go to jail and lose your guns. I really don't get your point. Because guns and alcohol are the same thing. Nice comparison mate. Over 10k people are killed each year by a drunk driver and over a million are killed by cars. didnt know there were so many pychos out there running people over with their cars That one million figure isn't right if he's talking US-only. If you were losing a million people per year that'd be ridiculous. In any given year there's about 35k vehicle-related fatalities in the US. The over 10k figure for alcohol-related deaths is correct. --- http://i.imgur.com/bbRWLI8.gif https://i.imgur.com/A0BErSV.jpg <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:896426896] in How many d...

A gun, unless malfunctioning, doesn't kill people on it's own. Yes, alcohol, cars, guns, knives, bats, scissors, etc can all cause death, but they are just instruments that a human has to choose to use, to cause harm or death to another person. Banning any of these things, is not going to change anything. You have to change people, not things.

knutjob 02/20/18 9:57:26 AM #37:	I lived in the us for a while and one of the most surprising things was the slack attitude to drunk driving. It seemed like everyone did it and no one cared. It just seemed culturally acceptable. Even TV was filled with characters driving to bars and driving home again like it was totally normal. I know the country is set up to drive everywhere but with that toxicity in your culture a problem is inevitable. I haven't lived in America for 5 years now but it doesn't seem like much has changed considering your president was trying to dress an nfl player being killed by a drunk driver as an immigration issue just the other week. <cite>knutjob posted [p:896427302] in How many d...
