No sympathy for drunk drivers. Not sorry he's dead; he knew it was one of the outcomes that night. I'm not against drinking- I'm against being stupid enough to get yourself into an automobile and try to drive it home once you've had a few. Too bad.

I don't know it you'rebeing serious or not. And in case you are, I don't know if you knew the driver. But I completely agree - picking up your car after having drank saying "meh, it's only a few! I can drive" is like pulling the trigger of a revolver with "just a few!" bullets while aiming to your head. Sooner or later you'll end up blowing up, both with the car and the revolver.

I share your view on drunk driving, as I'm sure anyone else would, but I don't think it's a reason to disrespect the guy, especially now that he's dead. Would you feel comfortable reading that post to his family? I'm sure his family would agree that he shouldn't have been drunk driving, but it's no reason to toss aside any sort of sympathy and just say "too bad".

Not trying to pick a fight, just pointing that out.

Turned it on for the back 9?

My best golf moment was vs my mate just on a local Par 3 course. It was the 18th hole and our scores were tied, he tee-ed off 1st and got it within 15cm of the hole turned around laughing and said 'beat that'. i couldnt believe the lucky bastard got it that close

So i tee-ed off and BOOM hole in one unbelievable. my mate was sooo pissed hahaha he chucked his club into a fence

Awesome story!!

My dad made a hole-in-one on our Par 3 course once, the shot was skulled and never flew more than 2 meters over the ground, and if the hole hadn't been in the way it would've rolled way past it, but it went it. I didn't have any problems losing that match

Sergio- I was being serious, that's my view. And yeah, I knew the driver (not personally obviously but I'm a pretty big Jackass fan and I actually liked Dunn alot on the show)

Alex- I think you misinterpreted my "Too Bad"...I completely agree that while it's unfortunate that he was drunk driving and that I don't really feel as sorry for him as I do his family, it's still a huge tragedy for them and for everyone else he knew and hurt with this. When I said too bad, it wasn't a sarcastic offhand comment, I just honestly meant it's too bad he had to go and do that. Reading back, it does look pretty snobbish juxtaposed against my whole not-supporting-drunk-driving thing, but yeah, I'm not trying to be a dick (as I know you aren't as well)
