That would just be a mistake, nobody could say you had anything coming from the kinds of driving mistake that we all make at some time or another. That is worlds away from driving while in an impaired state, which is a decision to drive even knowing that you are especially likely to make such a mistake. Your transgression is ethically speaking similar to Umkay’s, only Umkay payed a very heavy price for it that nobody would deserve for doing the same. You weren’t doing anything that you would reasonably expect would hurt others, and that’s where the line is drawn.
I don’t know, I think my ex would say that I deserve my MS.
and she would be wrong.
(my bold)
Ok, so whether or not an accident occurs as a result of the impaired driving is what determines your opinion of a person? If I had been of legal age, I wouldn’t even have been guilty of any alcohol-related driving infraction; it was due to the fact that I was 20 years old and had some level of alcohol in my bloodstream. Any amount of alcohol in a person under the legal drinking age meets a zero-tolerance policy from the law. In a bit of irony, the very reason mr and my friend were on the road at the time of the accident is because we had both left my friend’s house early that night because we both had to get up for work the next morning at 5am; we had left the ‘party’ early because we needed to be clear-headed the next day.
Not to hijack the flow of the discussion, but a question for umkay…
Any opinions on ADA requirements for public pools?
Specifically, does it matter to you if a lift is permanently installed or has to be set up/moved as needed?
Did you leave the toilet seat up?
One of the interesting things that article is that the ADA codes are administered by the Justice Department.
Most code violations are enforced by the City or State inspection divisions. Code violations at that level are a civil matter, usually settled by fines and such.
ADA codes are enforced by the Justice Department. Violations can, and often are, prosecuted as a criminal offense.
no comment.
Guys, guys… Missing the point here- obviously the thing for the alcoholically impaired to do is become a pilot:
Yes I’m a typo nit pickin’ eejit. Sorry.
:smack:
OK, I’m pretty everyone knows what I MEANT to say…
Maybe… But I wouldn’t go picking on pilots just now, if I was you…
Considering the line of questions already answered, I dont think so.
She has been very open about her sexuality.
There’s a difference between her volunteering information (which is what she has done) and someone else asking questions, especially when she’s already related her concerns about “devotees”.
Saying any question is fair game because she’s shared some of her sexuality is like saying that a woman wearing a miniskirt isn’t allowed to say “no” to groping or sex because she’s already shared so much. [del]Umkay[/del] [del]any woman[/del] any individual is allowed to draw their own line as far as sexual sharing goes.
I’m asking not because I’m disputing what you’re saying, but because I may have missed it in the thread: Did SHE draw that line, or did Ellen Cherry draw it for her?
apples to oranges here. The title of this thread is
Ask the girl in a wheelchair. She has been open about her sexuality.
All she had to say is
None of your business, No, That is too personal etc.
Actually it’s barely anything like that at all, unless your intent is to create the most exaggerated comparison possible in a shamelessly melodramatic appeal to emotion. But you wouldn’t do that, would you?
That said, dngnb8’s “question” was phrased in a remarkably sleazy way. Or did you class it up by redacting the fap fap fap?
How are you typing?
Is someone typing for you?
Other questions of that nature seem to be rooted in a genuine curiosity about how a quad’s body functions, what he/she is able to do, etc. Not “dirty minds want to know.”
Did you even bother reading the thread? Sometimes a caregiver types for her or she uses voice recognition software.
More questions?
How is your breathing?
Do you have sensations for bowel movements?
Can you eat?
Can you drink?
Can you experience an orgasm?
