Judge gets hit in a Dui accident by an idiot who appeared before him as a defendant in his second DUI case. The judge suspended his sentence and . . . . well, the circle sometimes gets to complete itself.
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/17/repo ... to00000001
Back in 1998, Rene Fernandez received two DUIs in a span of three months. The first judge sentenced him to probation, the second judge, Edwin Collier, sentenced him to 60 days in jail but suspended the sentence. Last August, the now 45-year-old Fernandez was inebriated at more than twice the legal limit, got into his Chevrolet Tahoe and started driving, ultimately plowing into a Honda Accord in the oncoming lane.
That Accord was driven by 85-year-old retired Judge Edwin Collier, who had his wife, 81-year-old Ellen Collier in the passenger seat. Yes, it was an accident involving the same Fernandez and the same Judge Collier from 1998. Fernandez is now looking at an 18-month stint in a Montgomery County, Maryland prison for the DUI and the life-threatening injuries he caused to the Colliers.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Raise the legal limit but stiffen the penalties. Pull their license and you'll see people start to march in order (not all of them, I am not that dumb)

For the people who will make the decision time and time again to get behind the wheel of a car while they're barely able to stand up, taking their license away just means they have one less piece of paperwork to remember when they get in the car.Bigshankhank wrote:Raise the legal limit but stiffen the penalties.

Here's one or two I think might be moderately effective:
Got a DUI within the last 24 months?
No tax deductions for you!
Repeat offender?
Double income tax for you for two years!
Or how about this:
If you have a DUI on your license less than 24 months old, you are automatically ineligible to purchase petrol!
Or maybe the other way around would be good. Some kind of rewards scheme.
Don't get any DUIs, drunk&disorderlies or the like for thirty years and you get a voucher redeemable for a) no income tax for two years, b) a wet and sticky night with a supermodel or c) a license to smoke pot.
Or maybe they should install breathalyzers in taxicabs.
The higher you blow, the less you pay. At the legal limit, you ride for free. More than the legal limit and you get a Hooters gift card.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

the taxation issue would violate the equal protection and due process provisions of the constitution if federal, and likely most state constitutions as well. I do like the cab idea though!DerGolgo wrote:Here's one or two I think might be moderately effective:
