Should we be PRAISING a DRUNK DRIVER?!

[REoL]

Last time I checked, when you drive drunk, and you wind up killing someone (or multiple people), aren't drivers like that condemned, and ridiculed for life?

So, why does Ted Kennedy get treated like a GOD?


-=LINK=- Way back when (July 19'th, 1969), Teddy was driving drunk, with girlfriend in the passenger seat. He drives to Chapaquiddick and goes off the bridge, inot the lake, and swims to shore, walking away from the woman trapped in his Oldsmobile. She died from suffication.

Since his last name is Kennedy, and the brother of the slain JFK, I guess it's a free pass for him, because he's in power (State Represenitive, even then).

Still, the Brain Cancer thing is awful, but I don't think we should celebrate the life of someone who took the life of another person through stupid wrecklessness. After all, if anyone else did the same thing, they'd be thrown in prison for the rest of their life.

Some actually say the Teddy's cancer is "...getting what he deserved." (from a listener of a radio show I listen to, in fact, miltiple people said it.) I think that's much, but I think he needs to suffer some other way, how, not sure.

MORAL: If you're a popular celebrity (in this case, a politician), you can do what you want, and get away with it, or get a less-than-puny sentince, and the rest of us get thrown in jail, and they throw away the key (in this case, what should've happened).

How about someone who kills hundreds of thousands indirectly?

[Raptor Jesus]

Like Hitler?

[CrazedImp]

All major politicians kill many people indirectly. Nobody will dare think like that though since they have so much power they can give so much money and other crap to cover it up.

No-one has the right to be treated any different (better or worse) than a normal person. Enough said. I hate the fact they might be treated differently because they are prettier and have pocketfuls of cash or a relative of a politician.

And for politicians killing people, hmm, what's the main reason for wars today and all this bickering around the world? Because of those childish politician piece of shites who wants to win a fricking argument for the sake of the principle of it and their bloody dignity.*cough*

[CrazedImp]

Society hasn't evolved much from how it was some 500 years ago. People just look at it from a different perspective, but its still just as unfair and stupid as it ever was.

[deathbecomesme]

I can just not see the world changing

[rustyslacker]

REoL, did you pick Kennedy to bitch about especially because he's such a hardcore liberal?

Plenty of conservatives inadvertently kill fellow Americans, but they do it consciously, while they're sober.

[lucius octavion]

Anyone ever notice how lots of times drunk drivers go and kill like five people and then somehow miraculously, they live?!

[Aliotroph?]

Yeah, cars are funny like that.

[+Acyclitor+]

politicians commit crimes!? NO WAY

[Heidi]

The Kennedys's were a disgrace, but nothing compared to this filth

[<<-Jimmy->>]

Oh God do we really need a documentary of the life of Bill Clinton; he played the sax, smoked some drugs, and he did some other things which I need not mention. It would ruin the sanctity the forums

[Potnop]

Like getting a BJ from Monica Lewinsky...

Oh oops my bad... I ruined the sanctity of the forums.

Anyway, that's a little f'ed up though saying someone got what they deserved... What if it happens to you...

[Nomad]

LOL SOMEONE SAID BJ

Having sex in the oval office and lying about it is hardly the worst of his offenses. He wasn't the first to do it and won't be the last. Also he wasn't the worst president in the world, granted, but he wasn't as great as many seem to hold him either. I don't see that trend changing any time soon with the president since nor whomever the future president is.

[REoL]

I don't care if it's a liberal Nazi that kills someone when drunk (Kennedy), or even a conservative (Rush Limbaugh) who thinks he should get the free pass on drug charges. Celebs. They can do what they want.
