QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2013 -> 10:37 AM) I don't think the solution is punishment. I think that if there is a solution it's to be proactive. Governments and businesses make a fortune on people drinking in this country. They ought to be able/willing to establish and provide services for people to get home. IMO, it would actually help their business; I could have an extra drink or two if I had a safe way to get home provided by the business that didn't involve me struggling to figure out where my car was the next day. Do the businesses also provide transportation TO their locations? It's simply an unrealistic idea.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 16, 2013 -> 10:34 AM) Why not? Automakers are putting all kinds of stuff in cars...why can't they do this? How does this prevent someone else from blowing for the driver?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2013 -> 10:10 AM) Because every time this sort of event happens, nothing changes. People die, people get angry, occasionally enforcement tactics change, but there is never any step taken to actually break the link between going out to one's local restaurant/bar establishments, supporting those businesses, and the need to get home afterwards. People are never going to stop driving drunk. People got drunk during prohibition. Acting like any laws put in place will stop the repeat offenders is just ignorant.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 16, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) Your Lady Byng finalists are Matt Moulson, Martin St. Louis, and Patrick Timothy Kane Jr. Ooof, the least-heralded trophy in all of sports.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:00 AM) Melanoma's a b**** As a ginger, it is one of my top fears along with eels that have teeth.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:29 AM) Or even after 3 you should realize "hey, this isn't going in the right direction. I have to drive later so I should stop." I go through that routine once a weekend. Yup. Exactly.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2013 -> 11:18 PM) http://jezebel.com/5873688/sexy-students-s...-for-being-sexy On a somewhat related topic, has a MALE student's yearbook picture ever been banned/excluded for being too sexy? So stupid. The yearbook is not a location for a pin-up contest. This girl wants her 15 minutes and is getting it.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 15, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) This required another thread? The thread title alone was worth it. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) Cute title mandated it. Exactly.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) Next for the "hand positioning" makeover, Gordon Beckham. Who?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:15 AM) He is looking forward to the vegetarian menu at the Sonics games. Dont crush his spirits He's a vegan, not a vegetarian. Wrong guy to make fun of vegetarianism to - I would love to see more vegan/vegetarian options at professional sports stadiums, so I would support that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:09 AM) But there's much more public money involved in the proposed deal for Sacramento than there is for Seattle. HEY SQWERT HAS BEEN A SEATTLE RESIDENT AND INTERESTED IN THEIR SPORTS TEAMS FOR A WHOLE YEAR. HE'S EARNED THIS OUTRAGE!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2013 -> 05:32 AM) I watched the first 5 episodes of Season 1 and just wasn't enthralled by anything. I could see why a lot of people love it though. You sound like a woman. GoT is awesome. I wish they'd cut out the pointless boobs so people like you wouldn't have that crutch to fall back on as your single line of defense as to why people like the show. I don't fit the typical fantasy-loving fanboy model either. I've never seen Lord of the Rings. However, I can say I geek out every Sunday (or more likely Monday morning at the gym with my tablet and a lot of sweat).

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 16, 2013 -> 08:16 AM) It's because at that point your decision making is severely impaired. It's not like most people plan on going out and getting bombed and then driving. You may plan to go to the bar for 2 or 3 beers, but then a couple buddies come in and you end up having like 10 and all of the sudden you are too drunk to realize that you're too drunk to drive. That's completely moronic. People being "too drunk to realize they are too drunk to drive" is completely asinine. When you've had ten beers, you know you shouldn't be driving. When you're hammered, you know it. You still make that choice. I've done it. Not proud of it, but I've done it. I've also realized the entire time I was driving that if I were to get pulled over I'd be completely f***ed. I don't do it anymore, but I have. And I also knew what I was doing was wrong. EDIT AND STUPID

Thank God this abortion of a season is over.

QUOTE (MEANS @ May 16, 2013 -> 07:31 AM) new QOTSA leaked...wow! pretty good album, very different. Thanks for the head's up. Also - jeez, it leaked 24 days prior to release. I see new 30 Seconds to Mars also leaked. Also, why are you idiots not downloading Frank Turner's new album. I promise you, it's amazing.

So Kevin Durant is awesome, obviously, but I think we've seen that his stats get quite the boost with one or two other superstars beside him taking defenders away.

Oduya has a f***ing canon. I grew tired of the commentators talking about how Detroit must be tired. They had two f***ing off days.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 15, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) BTW, tearing my groin didn't make me bad at framing, it just turned me into a pitcher instead of catcher So many innuendos.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) I got suckered into watching the Chaperone on cable the other night by its description. What a god awful steaming pile of s*** that was. If anyone thinks about watching it, kick yourself in the nuts. It is less painful. Who suckered you into watching it? Next time say NO!

This concept of Adam Dunn getting hits always feels so weird.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:10 PM) Because he questioned his role or something, is the rumor. It doesn't make much sense. Plus you're breaking up a line that's been pretty consistent all year. He didn't have a great playoff series, I get that. Seems a little bit knee-jerky here. Though Bolland isn't a true #2 center, he's much closer to it than Handzus, who hasn't played well in the playoffs. And if he's not winning faceoffs, he's completely worthless. Or you leave that line alone, you can even have Bolland play on the 4th. Carcillo & Bollig in over Stalberg is silly. I could see the Hawks being down 1-0 tonight and by the middle of the 2nd period we'll see about 10 different line combinations. Yeah - sitting Stalberg is just silly - his speed against the Wings would be an asset.
