Ontario Bill 203-Blowing A Warning Over .05

[reef]

LOL @ you guys arguing the past 5 days in this thread

fuck you guys need to get out more lmao...

You shouldn't be driving after "a couple of drinks" unless you've waited for the effects to wear off....

If you've had a couple of drinks and start driving shortly afterwards, you could easily be close to .08 so a small penalty is probably warranted. But lots of responsible people will have a single glass of wine at a nice restaurant and feel comfortable driving home at .05. I think the gov't needs to demonstrate that .05 causes impairment before they are justified in clamping down to this extent. We have to maintain a sense of proportion. The hospitality and toursim industries have taken a shit-kicking because of our increased vigilance over alcohol and smoking. If you can't have one glass of wine with your dinner, you may as well stay home. Which is exactly what will happen.

This is what they said about smoking but after a (major) downturn, things picked up again.

But as they cracked down on smoking, now they're cracking down on drinking, just like I said they would.

Next thing on the agenda? Unhealthy foods such as steak, hamburger and other high choloesteral foods.

As for proving .05 causes impairment. ONE drink affects you. Now sometimes it affects you more than others but the thing they're trying to say (in my opinion) is now when you blow a warning, you lose your licence for more than 12 hrs because maybe there were so many people blowing warnings that the message to NOT drink and drive wasn't getting across.

I think you are overstating the point. Try http://caaneo.ca/about/blog/blood-alcohol-calculator. I realize it is a guideline and things vary from person to person.

LOL you're stretching it....really.

But you never answered me: if someone came into your home, picked up your computer monitor and threw it, picked up your furniture and started throwing it around the room, and otherwise started acting crazy would you want them to stop him or sweat talk him into maybe stopping?

If you think that anything he threw was at the cops, I am not surprised.
You are very consistently wrong.
You don't even comprehend your own bullshit.

As for your question, I would hope that some competent intelligent cops show up and do what they feel is necessary.
It's possible they might have to kill this hypothetical person but that has absolutely nothing to do with the trigger-happy incompetent liars who killed Dziekanski.
It's also possible that I might have to spear him with a hockey stick or take a divot out of his head with a pitching wedge.

....

But you really ought to learn to read: In my posts you quoted I specifically stated in black and white: Sorry he threw the monitor IN FRONT OF THE COPS (the first ones.....). What part of THAT don't you understand?

Again, are you blind or just stupid?

That is cool.

Thanks for the link.

He also threw a computer monitor at them and I also think he threw a chair, as well as ignore their warnings to stop, and get down.

Did you forget this or do you just not understand your own bullshit?

Sorry at 1:19 he threw the monitor in front of the cops, (as you can hear on the video) and a little later he picked it up and looked to throw it at the cops (the first ones, not the ones that tasered him).

The cops were not even in the same room when the objects were thrown so your interpretation of the person in the video stating "in front of the cops" is obviously wrong.
The objects were thrown in plain view of the cops, not near their bodies.
Your claim that "later he picked it up and looked to throw it at the cops" is complete and utter nonsense.
So is it your memory or your comprehension that is so fucked up?
Perhaps it's both in addition to other malfunctions too.
