    I digress though, no one thinks people should be driving drunk, I am just making the point, that .12 for generations was the standard, in some states.

    And the standard before .12 was “no standard” where driving drunk wasn’t even a crime.

    The larger problem is why we are completely reliant on vehicles, that we cannot even enjoy more than two drinks on the town and legally go home. There must be better ways, fuck cars.

    Taxi cabs have exist since before the invention of cars.

      No the limits were upped in not back before it was a crime at all, but around the year 2000. The same time they tightened a lot fo things up.

      Mothers against drunk driving and the like a generation or more prior made it a more serious offense, before that it wasn’t always considered as big of a deal as you are referring to, idk pre 1970s or what.

        We’re agreeing with the reality that it wasn’t considered a crime or a big deal in generations past. Where we’re a huge gulf of disagreement is if this was a problem or not. I am flabbergasted about the strong defense you’re putting up to be able to drink and drive.

        May I ask if you or your family have ever been negatively affected by a drunk driver before?

          You seem to be unable to distinguish between quantifying a situation and qualifying it, a common condition. Like if I described how a plurality if not majority of voters support deporting illegals, if not in the dickish way it’s done at the moment, you would take that for supporting deporting illegals. But it’s not a qualification of deporting illegals, it’s a quantification.

          The facts are… The lack of logic and reason, from people that went to college at that, is an indictment of our schools that in higher education are more of racketeers than educators.
