  15. Re:This is YRO how? on DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder · · Score: 1

    I disagree, watching a DVD is not much diffrent the eating or talking or anything else really. Sure it lasts for 90 min, but so what, maybe they just wanted to listen, music is short, but what about an audio book? its what was going on when the accident happened that counts and the cause of the accident.

    And what right do you have to say what i can do with my body??

    If i want to smoke pot/tobacco or consume alcohol i should beable to do so. its MY body and I can do what I want to it.

    Sure regulate them, tax them, make operateing a car against the law, advertise and lie about the effects, even up health insurance costs for people who use them! Do all you want to discourage their use, but keep them legal. It doesn't hurt other people if i smoke pot. And if it does their are laws to cover that.

    someones bitter...

    If going by your view if you ACCIDENTLY kill someone while haveing a conversation in a car, looking at people around you, going over the speed limit, running a red light, throwing rocks, throwing a stick for your dog, running donw the stairs into someone, hitting a baseball into someones house and into them, haveing someone on baley and the rope breaking/them falling because you didn't check it or the knotes, leaveing a knife out, leaveing a gun out, leaveing a bottle out (can be used as a weapon), would be murder.

    In short when doing ANYTHING AT ALL that could resort in the death of someone is murder... now thats just silly. And don't say cars are diffrent, they are not. You kill someone by a car or kill someone with a gun, its the SAME THING, you may thing its not, but it is.

    Your actions have resulted in the death of someone and that will result in 1 of 3 things, accidental (shit happens), man slaugher (you did something really stupid and should have known better), murder (you intended to kill for whatever reason).

    There are plenty of dangerous activities. a cars no diffrent. Accidents happen.

    Sure he intended to watch that DVD, and that was driving without due care and damn stupid, But he did not intend to kill anyone and no matter how stupid it was to do that it doesn't change the fact he didn't mean to kill anyone. So manslaughter it is.

    i would hope the hands-free phone is legal, bceause what diffrence between a conversation with people in the car and on the phone is there at that point??

    And with handheld cellphones i would almost go as far as it is almsot just like haveing a conversation with someone in the car...

    So shall we outlaw talking in the car?

    I stand corrected, But still pretty bad compared to cananda:

    More than 20 g felony 5 years $5,000
    Under the influence or use misdemeanor 90 days $100
    3 oz or less misdemeanor 1 year $1,000
    Any amount (third or subsequent offense) felony 20 years variable
    Paraphernalia possession or sale (third offense) misdemeanor or felony 5 years $5,000

    sale
    Less than 60 lbs felony 5 - 30 years $50,000
    Any amount felony 10 years $10,000
    Any amount felony 10 years $200,000
    30 to 500 g (first offense) felony 1 - 3 years $25,000

    So for the most part the states is pretty varible, but overall its pretty bad. And some states are horrible!!! You 3rd offence of haveing a pipe would mean 5 years!

    Why have copyrigths at all?

    Its a new concept that seems pretty silly if you ask me.

    Copyrights were ment to encourge people to express themselves and create works of art music and books, But before we had copyrights there sure was a hell of alot of music, arts, poems, and books. So where the hell did copyrights come from?

    Go on the internet and see just how much good material is out there for free! lots of good stories, poems, pictures, artwork, music... and did ANY of those creators get compensated? no, if there was no copyrights would they have still created their works? YES! did copyright help them in any way or change the fact they created works? NO!

    Copyrights only benifit corperations. and yes those creaters who gets mega $$$ bceause of it, but who cares, if they stopped createing their works others would step up.

    Would we have no books stores? no music stores? no, we would have them, with any popular/desired work in them at near cost because you would have many diffrent corperations trying to get you to buy THEIR version.

    big budget films? i'm sure they would still exists in some form, people would pay money to see things big and loud because they sure can't do that at home.

    I think information should be free for everyone, and every little bit of it should be saved. but thats just me. I'm also too saying we should get rid of copyrights, just pointing out that even without them we sould still have plenty of art music books poems and all that great stuff.

    now i've been up for about 20 hours and i'm still a bit drunk... so thank you for reading my post and i hope my rambleings made some sense :) Right NOW it makes sense... not to sure if it will once i sleep... *submit*
