White Linen Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 26 minutes ago, LSHMEAB said: What about speeding? You literally risk killing people driving at high rates of speed. This isn't the Autobahn where folks are prepared for 100 or whatever the K/HR equivalent would be. Is speeding an egregious offense? DUI's are serious. First time offense? Nobody hurt? You got lucky, you'll get punished, you'll deal with the consequences and hopefully learn from your mistake. Then add speeding to the list that needs more serious punishment. That doesn't make smoking dope and a DUI an equivalent in terms of seriousness. IMO, they are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Using your logic, beating a woman doesn't necessarily mean she'll die - so speeding is an equivalent. A DUI is a disgusting act. Getting lucky you didn't kill anyone shouldn't be something taken so flippant, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used them in the same sentence, but never claimed them to be on the same scale of malfeasance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand that the way that statement is structured makes it clear the DUI is the more serious offense, correct? Have a great Friday bro.

Most people dont want to hurt others but have never learned to be in control of their emotions rather than their emotions controling them. A lot of harm is legal though so society feels its ok.

I get that you're trying to back away from having an incorrect thought and I appreciate it. Awareness is a good start to stopping the horrific epidemic of driving under the influence.

Hope your day gets better. You're playing dumb and I've said multiple times I'll accept that as an admittance you're wrong. You're pride won't let you go through with it totally. You incorrectly put marijuana use and one time DUI's in the same sentence - feeling the NFL is asinine for concerning themselves with it. It's not debatable that smoking dope anywhere outside of a car and driving while impaired shouldn't be thought of as about the same offenses. They aren't linked in any way. You agree, so I safely assume you incorrectly typed that sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple because your minimizing the outcome and not recognizing that an individual has worked to acheive that goal. Its actually a lack of empithy because you are assuming it would affect others how you feel it would effect you. He lacked empithy when he commited his actions but you lack empithy in what you may like to see happen to him. Now this is the point when you either try to minimize or project concerning his actions and yours Edited February 9, 2019 by formerlyofCtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outcome may be that he doesn't play in the NFL. If anything I have too much empathy being that I also do not play in the NFL. The major difference in our respective career paths with respect to professional football player is that my lack of employment with the NFL is due to genetics, whereas his will potentially be due to being videotaped repeatedly punching a woman lying on the ground.

Lol, that is exactly what youre doing and youre doing exactly what I said would. Your behavior is predictable only because what Im saying is true. You so caught up trying to defend your behavior that youre argue on a subject youre not qualified to argue, against a person who is qualified. You have no idea how funny this is to people who are knowledgable on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I think Mixon and Hill have shown that if it happwns early in College or before it largely falls onto deaf ears on the national stage. Sure it will make a local headline the day of the draft but after will be forgotten. Not condoning the behavior but also wont hold anything against man for what he did as a teenager.

People who have an education on the subject and help people overcome there bad choices in life. Do you realise that rather than admit that maybe there could be a better way of dealing with these types of situations. Youve argued on a subject you have no knowledge of and tried to judge the intentions and character of people you dont even know. Just to let you know. Sometimes I catch myself doing the same things you are doing. 85% of society does it. If we arnt trying to help a person better themselves we probably shouldnt judge em. Just thought Id point a few things out to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
