In a bar???? Texas, what the hell is going on?????

http://www.nbc5i.com/news/8034788/detail.html

This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I have heard in a LONG time and it's coming from the LAST place I thought this shit would happen! Basically it just goes to show that more and more government is taking over our lives. Oh but we still have freedom. Yeah right.

I know something like this will not stand anywhere in Colorado. If jails are overcrowded now, just think how overcrowded they would be if they arrested people for simply being drunk at a bar.

yeah, thats bullshit. Wait and see at least if they hop in their cars. How do they know they werent calling cabs?

Shit, they could have slapped the cuffs on me any weekend during the 1990s.

But hey, this is the state that votes for Bush and Jesus. They got what they voted for, so fuck em.

DIP laws are a farce. Of the 50 or so I've handled only a handful fit the CA definition of too drunk 'to care for one's self or others or is obstructing a sidewalk etc.' It is used, as it was in the article, to get people of the street. Big Brother is an asshole.

I heard about it on one of our local morning shows here in Denver. I got so upset I emailed the morning show and they emailed me that link to the Dallas TV station.

Apparently it doesn't matter if you've got a DD, waiting on a cab or a friend, your ass is still going to jail if you're drunk at a bar.

I also noticed a few guys got arrested for being drunk at a HOTEL bar and they were registered and staying at that hotel! How they were a "threat to their lives and others" is beyond me. Fucking government. I like how Steve Harvey is getting in on this too. Maybe it does take a celebrity presence to get government off people's back.

Either that or Irving police weren't getting a lot of business lately and needed an excuse to get them some more revenue.

You know what's even funnier? The only way you can GET a drink in Irving is to go to a bar. You can't buy beer in a gas station or supermarket there. I know, last time I was in Irving I had to drive 20+ miles to Fort Worth just to get a 6 pack so I could chill in my hotel room with some brew.

Texas is so fucking backwards sometimes...

Why don't us "Support Our Cops" you anti-American pile of crap?

Pretty much.

Something about "be careful what you wish for..."

Fucking pussies... should come to Oregon.

There's this sports bar / resturant in our miserable town and as long as you can stand up, you can keep buying booze.

Oregon has very clear laws on serving to "visibly intoxicated " individuals, but this place could give a fuck. The 20-30 somethings love it, and the bar loves the jack they spend there.

When my daughter turned 21, she and her crew went in there and just got plowed. I mean she and a couple of others were basically laying on tables, and the bar maids keep asking them if they wanted more. Then I get tossed because one of the drunk 20's got mouthy and wanted to fight an old fat man and I put him down and stood on his face, massaging his jaw with my boot.

One of my boys turned 21 a couple of years ago and his crew went there. Within 1 hour, he was hurling in the can, his step brother was hanging over the top taking pictures with his cell phone, and sneaking drinks when the bar keep was not looking.

I have seen people carried out of this place on a weekly basis. Rules don't mean shit.

Where is this place? Believe it or not, odds are I've been there. Even out in Redneckland(sup Derron).

I'm getting kinda old now, but I still like to get out and play. Couple of years ago or so, some friends and I went and checked out a show at Dante's, downtown. By the end of the night, the freaking bartender had to sign the credit card slip. If I remember correctly, another bud's girlfriend somehow managed to puke all over the sound board, which trust me, created more than a little laughter from the rest of us. I think there, and The Ohm (sup Dan Reed) seem to really stnd out from the downtown clubs in their willingness to keep bringing them as long as you're upright, or at least putting on a nice front as being upright.

:beer

Primetime Sports Bar - Pacific and Yew in Forest Grave.

On Friday nights they park up and down the fucking road. The truck drivers stumble in there from a few different parking lots where they lay up, every construction worker in west county comes there, gets drunk by 7 pm and drives home just about the time the OL and I are driving home from dinner.

St. Pattys Day a couple guys parked in the ditch and left their cars there. The fucking chollos rolled them over on their tops sometime that night.

If you can't hold your liquor, you shouldn't be drinking.


That is just so stupid. How lame.

Risa wrote:If you can't hold your liquor, you shouldn't be drinking.

Bullshit. How the fuck are people supposed to learn how to hold their liquor if they don't puke every once in a while?

Medical bills?

Those are those thingies stacked up on my desk, right?

The way I see it, I only owe a few bucks. I didn't have insurance, since I've never been sick and never needed more than a few stitches before. Because of this, doctors didn't want anything to do with me, even though I showed up with a big fat wad of cayshe in my pocket. Hell, they even told me that they didn't want much to do with me without insurance, regardless how many benjis I pulled out of my pocket. So me and the doctors got off on the wrong foot to start with, but then, I guess since I was uninsured pondscum, they found a completely incompetant doc to send me too. It was a real hoot having this Russian retard pretty much tell me I was going to die, when it just wasn't the case (unfortunately for you, T1B). After horribly botching the diagnosis, dude still wants to charge me some outrageous sum for a few minutes of his time. And I suppose that in our system, the guy is allowed to charge whatever he wants for his time, but if he wants to charge the huge bucks, he should probably know what he's talking about, and this guy clearly didn't...very clearly. And if the "doctor" didn't perform the service he claimed he would in a competant fashion, he's fucking crazy if he thinks I'm going to pay him for unskilled labor, when it was advertised as something else.

Go ahead and sue me over a few hundred bucks, asswipe.

But hey -- at least after the complete shit-for-medical-opinion, I had a lovely few days believing this tard's bullshit, thinking I was on my way to the grave. Foretunately, I was able to find someone who actually did know what they were talking about (took a couple of nurses to clown this guy's doctorate) a few days later, and now I'm not going to die....which is nice.

But excuse me if I'm a little disillusioned with the medical industry at the moment. They came right out and said "If you come up with some insurance, we might be able to help you more"...right after the doctor told me my life was screwed, and right after I pulled a very hefty sum of cash out of my pocket. I was reduced to sitting there and trying to engage in a cash negotiation for what was, at that time, my life.

It wouldn't be so disturbing, if this were an isolated incident, but it wasn't. It's how the entire medical industry operates these days, for the most part.

Used to be that doctors were good people who wanted to help other people, and make deece coin doing it. Now, the whole industry is almost 100% scum scum scum.

Absolute fucking scum. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't live it. Even now, it all seems like a nightmare. Yet another system in this country that's broken, but the lobbies have bought off enough sheeple to let them continue extorting money from the American People under threat of death.

Last year. I was FUCKING HAMMERED. Hottest chick in the place came up and wanted to hang with me (:notsuchabigshocker:). Dude she came with seemed to have a problem with that, and wanted to fight about it, or something. While I'm always down for beating down some tard and nailing his OL, it didn't seem like such a good idea with cop cars park in the bar's parking lot. I passed -- both on the fisticuffs and the skank.

do you also have to hold your hand in the campfire to know that fire will burn you?


anybody drinking to the point of puking has already passed the 'social drinking' line in the sand. they're no longer drinking because they enjoy it. they're no longer drinking for the buzz.

things should be done because you enjoy them, not as an escape.

drinking to the point of puking is an escape. it's lame. it's stupid. it's dangerous.

Please God, MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

Seriously Risa, is there any way to get you to STFU?

Lemme clue you in on something, people like to drink and get fucked up. And sometimes people drink a little over their limit and toss their cookies. But if people NEVER tossed their cookies, they would never know what their limit is.

Is it sinking in yet?

So, you flipped down your G-shades, give them the finger-gun point, whispered "WAR - G Pete" under your breath and then snuck out through the ventilation ducts?

When you got home did you and Proctor sip Heineken's on the deck or did you just go and jerk off on your neighbor's woodpile?

yes. some people are alcoholics.

it's like eating. if you eat until you puke, you're not eating because you enjoy the taste of the food, you're eating because you don't know what else to do with your hands and your mouth and are using food to replace another kind of emptiness.

if you drink until you puke, you're not drinking for the light buzz or even the taste of the alcohol, you're drinking to fill a hole. you're drinking to fill an emptiness.

i don't have to toss my cookies to know my limits. drinking is great, socially, when actually enjoying what you're tasting.

drinking is bullshit when you're trying to kill yourself (drinking to the point of puking, passing out, etc).

No, sometimes you're just drinking to get fucked up. You know, like most college kids. I can remember the last time I threw up drinking. I think it was about 4 years ago. Mixed in a little weed with a whole lot of beer and topped it off with some Jack and Coke. Just me and a couple of buds hanging out on a dock on the Seneca River with a whole lotta time to kill. Nobody was trying to "escape" any thing or fill a hole. We were just getting fucked up and having a good time because that's what normal people do when they've taken 3 days off from work and they're camping with a couple of old friends.

Unless those "old friends" happen to be stuffy old schoolmarm types who want to lecture us about how much we drink. In that case we find other friends to go camping with next time.

if you post until you puke, you're not posting for the light chuckle or even the taste of the bwahaha, you're posting to fill a hole. you're posting to fill an emptiness.

fixed that for you

This picture pretty much sums up Texas. I took it while driving between College Station and Huntsville



Gotta love Texas. ;)

Well, how are you going to smite the heathen if you're not properly strapped?

:twisted:

Is Texas the land of bible-totin' gunfiends, or a Liberal paradise where the visibly drunk are hauled off to jail by nerdy-lookin' cops?

Either way, one thing is for DAMN sure - the main industry in Texas is INCARCERATION. What they incarcerate you for might seem a little inconsistent, but since the GOAL of Texans is to incarcerate folks at a mind-bending clip, it's all according to plan for them.

PSUFAN wrote:Is Texas the land of bible-totin' gunfiends, or a Liberal paradise where the visibly drunk are hauled off to jail by nerdy-lookin' cops?

Actually, a land where drunks are hauled off to jail would hardly be a liberal paradise. Not to this liberal, anyway.

I'm not so sure myself that the main industry in Texas isn't EXECUTION, but that's a topic for another thread.

EXECUTION cuts down on the number incarcerated - so I doubt that's really the primary goal in the Land of Six Flags. Plus, the tormentations end for the Killt, and that ain't what we want.

Speaking of executions --

Risa just got a major stay from one.

I just typed out one of the more scathing, vitriolic, funny beatdowns that I have in quite a while. Heck, I was even chuckling as I typed it, which doesn't happen very often. But due to a most unfortunate error in mouse operation, it didn't make it to this thread, and now the inspiration is gone.

So, you'll just have to take my word for it -- Annie just narrowly missed getting majorly served. Had something to do with a professed non-drinker trying to educate me on the bar scene, and the role I play in it.

Funny how nobody ever goes through years of appeals trying to get the death sentence instead of life in prison.

Wonder why that is...

Because when someone asks for the death penalty, the state just up and gives it to them.

The Gary Gilmore out front should have told you that.

U&L serial killer Wesley Allen Dodd sued the state of Washington to have his automatic appeal for the death penalty waived.

Strange guy, that Dodd. Figured if they didn't kill him, there was a chance he might get out someday. He told the courts that since he raped tortured and murdered those little boys due to an involuntary mental illness, and had no recollection of the incidents, and in his lucid moments (which apparently was most of his waking hours) he found child molestation to be disgusting and depraved (like the rest of us), he figured the world was better off without him in it.

Go figure -- a passionate, concerned child murderer. Who woulda thunk it. Before they offed him, he felt he owed it to the world to write a book to educate parents on how to protect their children from predators like him. He's the only serial killer I can think of who was truly repentant, and ashamed of what he did, and understood just how wrong it was.

I guess life in prison isn't as bad as you handwringers make it out to be.

I don't know, as I'm neither in Texas or INCARCERATED.

I can tell from PA, though, that Texas loves its prisons. It must be tough to find an unused cinderblock in the whole damn State.

We all hate criminals. Moreover, we know who to turn to when we run out of prison bunks.

There were more. Ever heard of the term "suicide by cop"? It applies here.
