  1. Re:All relationships are a fantasy on Don't Dismiss Online Relationships As Fantasy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually intimacy has been achieved without closeness long before the invention of the computer. Courtship through correspondance is a tried and true method, mainly done through the exchange of letters. One example of this is Elizabeth Barret-Browning and John Browning. The conceit that things like remote courtship only occurs in this day and age is based on erroneous assumptions.

    I think his point was that an adult body is said to process 1 bottle of beer in one hour which is a pretty good baseline. As long as you're only having a single drink per hour your BAC should never rise above .05% at any point in time. Keep in mind that in general for this 1 bottle of beer = 1 glass of wine = 1 shot of liquor, all of which are processed in about the same time. http://www.drunkdrivingdefense.com/general/bac-com parison-over-time.htm

    Quoted on Michael Righi's blog is a section of Ohio's "stop and identify" law: "2921.29 (C) Nothing in this section requires a person to answer any questions beyond that person's name, address, or date of birth. Nothing in this section authorizes a law enforcement officer to arrest a person for not providing any information beyond that person's name, address, or date of birth or for refusing to describe the offense observed." So as you can see, there is a specific law against requiring to show a driver's license in Ohio.

    Well the fact that you refer to his passenger as "his partner" informs me that you didn't read the article in the first place. Thus you devalue any arguments and points that you have made based upon pure supposition. By the way, the driver was his father, and in the back seat were his three younger siblings.

    That's right, make sure that all jokes and humerous comments are fact checked prior to posting them. We can't allow them to just be funny as it could lead to the downfall of society, I mean for heaven's sake! Think of the children!!!
