I'm not denying that there should be education about drunk driving, but I'm saying that this is a sensationalistic and cack-handed method of doing so. Education through trauma is hardly a good way to actually, intelligently engage with people about issues.



"I have an issue I want to engage with you on..."

*mALX tosses banana peel under Mustard's feet and gives him a light push, then runs away snickering*


Mustard: "What was I supposed to learn from that?"

mALX: "Learn, damn you!" *bops Mustard on head*


Here in Tennessee they call it the "Scared Straight" program.

How would you handle this, then? I'm not being rude or anything, I would just like to know.

I can't think of an immediate solution off the top of my head, but it would definitely not involve things that cause such upset to the parents, use up so much of a school's budget and generally bludgeon people over the head with "Drink driving ehs baaaaaaahd!!1!one!". Probably integrate it into an overall education program called something along the lines of 'Teenage lifestyles' giving a no-frills and no-glamour education on the effects of drinking and drug use, education on how to use contraception properly (because let's face it, they're teenagers. They're gonna have sex) and include the effects of drink-driving as part of that.

This is the education program we're talking about. When do they ever do any educating on real-life issues?

That sounds like a good program, Elisabeth. In my home town they used to haul the wrecked cars to the high school where the kids were from. It was effective, but it only worked after someone had died.

It’s a shame that the calm, gentle discussions don’t get the point across. Every spring seems to bring another carload of dead teenagers around here. It’s devastating to the whole community when it happens.


Good luck with the job, mirocu!

Guillotine - we've got the cutest little guillotine
It makes a cut that's really neat and keen
Sharp and clean
It never makes an error
It helps our reign of terror;

Guillotine - come to our court and you will see just what we mean
It is the bestest yet, it even beats Gillette, it's our little guillotine!

*sung to the tune of "Baby Face"
