2017-06-03 at 7:47 AM UTCI mean it's obvious driving drunk impairs ones ability to drive, but so does not having enough sleep, texting. being a human being operating a piece of fallible machinery going 100 mph, a lot of everyday things are dangerous and some actions increase the risk. risks that should be acknowledged and accepted as natural.
I don't really have a point.
fuck.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-06-03 at 8 AM UTCMQ, you live in a world with hundreds of millions, if not over a billion (Too lazy to check), other drivers.
If you won the lottery and it was a one in ten million chance, would you claim to be special and chosen by god?
That would be a delusion. My point is that due to probability you don't know if you've just gotten "lucky" purely by chance. It transcends your individuality. -
2017-06-03 at 8:10 AM UTCAre you now comparing the evils of drunk driving to winning a one in ten million lottery?
Hehe.
My point is surfacing. :}
Immediate edit:
Or comparing my specific stats to it? Are you saying I have somehow won the lottery of drunk driving because I've never had an accident?
Can you or DW not acknowledge the fucking BILLIONS of times drunk people have driven home without incident, including highly likely friends and family of yours?
Really, you must know what I'm saying here.

The difference is not marginal

Texting and driving should not be fucking co sidered a risk that is natural. Drunk driving should doubly not be considered a natural risk. The reason why people don't get mad about driving sleepy is that it is sometimes completely unavoidable, even with foresight and planning, and impossible to really test for. It is a human limitation. Driving drunk, or texting while driving, is just a dumb asshole limitation of dumb assholery. -
2017-06-03 at 3:19 PM UTCI've said my piece about drunk driving before. I think you're a selfish asshole if you drive drunk is the gist of it.
At least don't be a total retard like Lilix and steal a car and crash it injuring the other driver, all while having a suspended license for a previous DUI and no insurance. Then she wanted to be a cunt to me when I called her out on her bullshit, and white knights called me the asshole. -

Driving while sleepy is also immoral and should be avoided, though less so imo. There's a reason truck drivers can only drive for 11 consecutive hours. If you're driving more than a truck driver you need to pull the fuck over and sleep. 72,000 accidents a year from that. It's still less inebriating than DUI though.
Drunk driving and texting while driving are 100% avoidable though. In no situation do you ever need to make that decision unless you're a total moron. -
2017-06-03 at 6:26 PM UTCAlso, being sleepy, high on meth, etc. in no way makes driving drunk any safer. All you've done is identify additional impairments, and somehow believe they lessen the effects of drinking and driving. They don't. They're all hazards.

I feel like amphetamines would be great for driving if you're focusing on the driving.
This study says that its the sleep deprivation which makes driving on amphetamines dangerous: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22335607
This one says that mdma/meth + alcohol results in sober driving levels, though obviously dose is important and I'm not reading through the whole thing, but you can: http://www.grotenhermen.com/driving/krueger.pdf
Seems all that happens is you might drive a bit faster on meth. It's kind of hard to study if responsible meth use results in less accidents/safer driving though. Fast driving isn't necessarily equated to unsafe driving.
Don't know why I'm looking this up. Fuck meth.

2017-06-03 at 7:13 PM UTCAn afinil would be best of you’re sleep deprived. Only real drawback is it would keep you up for a while due to the half-life.

I don't disagree on anything you have said, but the reasons I stated are why driving sleepy isn't always because someone is an inconsiderate asshole. Sometimes you just gotten drive. -

Sorry my mistake for believing humanity in all it's grotesque magnificence is natural, I forgot about free will, that concept which divides us from all of creation and every on going process.
EDIT: lolollolol no free will no moralitY!!!?!!! what a fucking cop out.
