Explain further instead of being vague.

There's nothing magical about driving which means you can't do it after a few pints. I've driven about 40 miles on 7 pints perfectly well.

If I have a pint I feel nothing, I need a 2nd one to make it worthwhile. You must be very weak-minded.

No one said anything about not being able to do it.

The reason for the legal limit is that you don't react as well to unexpected events like a kid running out from between parked cars chasing a ball etc.

But wouldn't have reacted as well to an unexpected event.

That's because of your ear to ear dog shit.

Apart from that being bullshit, that would still be the fault of the kid with the ball. Why have a requirement to protect the stupid from themselves?

Wrong.

No, it's because I'm made of harder stuff than you.

It isn't.

Irrelevant to why there is a legal blood alcohol limit.

Because that is how the law works with kids particularly.

Nope. Trivially provable.

Just as true of a brick, stupid.

Speak for yourself.

Why? Ruining the theory of evolution is not helping the future of mankind.

How?

A brick cannot swallow a whole pint.

There is no law protecting Uncle Peter from himself.

Actually we do have laws protecting us from ourselves (which we shouldn't). Taking drugs for example. Or wearing seatbelts.

Uncle Peter

I never speak for anyone else.

Because the voters don't like the idea that their little kids will just be run down by drunks like you.

It isn't doing anything like that.

There are FAR more important effects on what little evolution still happens with humans than that.

Basically by measuring reaction times as the test subject gets higher blood alcohol levels.

A concrete block can.

Yes.

There will always be some too stupid to survive, like you.

But you are free to hang yourself any time you like.

Not enough. We shouldn't protect ANY stupid people, then the next generation would be far superior.

Actually, I believe it's illegal to attempt suicide [rolls eyes].

Reply to
Uncle Peter

We should in fact summarily execute fools like you.

How odd that we didn't actually get that result with full world wars that produced plenty of the deaths of the more stupid, often before they had a chance to breed too.

You're wrong. That hasn't been illegal for a long time now.

Foolishness is in the eye of the beholder.

Wars don't necessarily kill the stupid.

It is if yer a Mozzie.

Foolishness like yours has nothing to do with any beholder's eye.

They do kill quite a few, and plenty of those they kill are the ones too stupid to get out of the way of the war too.

Wrong, as always.

And I agree, you diabetics should have been left to die instead of doing anything about your medical problem.

Quite so, I completely agree with that one. I could probably manage carefully driving the car home, but that's not the issue. This issue is that I need driving, or else no job, no mony, no nothing... So I also just cut it out - completely.

Yes I was once stopped and breathlysed because I was lost and slowed down to decode obscure road signs; I didn't have TomTom at the time. Police were very unfriendly and bullying, then asked me why I was shaking... But his jaw dropped when it came out zero. But I could keep the tube for a reminder hehe.

Name three things I've done that are foolish.

So if country A is attacked, all the sensible one will flee? I don't think that's feasible.

Show me.

I'm not diabetic.

Everything you do is foolish.

Get away from the places more likely to be firestorm bombed etc anyway.

But doing less than that certainly is and the non stupid often did that.

Plenty of Jews chose to leave Germany once it became clear that the shit was going to hit the fan for them. Clearly it was the more stupid that didn't.

Have a look at all the fools that blow themselves to bits, stupid.

Then you are either lying now or lied before when you said you were.

Even simpler.

Breathed in. Breathed out. Breathed in.

Mind you, the parrot-botherer and wodders are a pair made for each other.
