Found this Gem while surfing. Gals, remember... they're zealots.
-And any statisticians can tear this garbage apart... hell, my 12 year-old could.

A man must have seven alcoholic drinks to drive as dangerously as a sober woman driver.

More than three million men, women, and children died on America's roads and highways in the Twentieth Century.

Five times as many Americans were killed on our highways as were killed in all the wars ever fought ever since the US Constitution was ratified.

Our MVFR (Motor Vehicle Fatality Rate) is 45.8% higher than Germany even though Germany has no speed limits on their Autobahns, 70% of their drivers drink alcohol and drive, and they consume 55% more alcohol per capita.

Our MVFR is almost three times higher than England even though England has a higher speed limit and drinks 10% more alcohol per capita than we do.

The Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/queryReport.cfm?stateid=0&year=1999 reports that women who don't drink at all have 14 times as many fatal accidents as men who drink and drive.

While MADD falsely proclaims that they saved 67,000 lives from drinking drivers since 1983, their program caused five times as many additional heart disease deaths due to the reduction in alcohol consumption.

6,000 ADDITIONAL men die in traffic accidents annually due solely to the higher accident rate of women drivers--twice as many lives as MADD claims to save each year from drunk drivers.

If only drinking White men drove all highway miles, the lifetime odds of an American dying in a traffic accident would decrease from 1 in 80 to 1 in 247, a rate equivalent to England.

Note to readers; This is neither 'Christian bashing' nor 'woman bashing'. This is an example of the sort of disengenuous tactics employed by the religious 'right' to keep their conscripts in the camp. It is plainly flawed, and yet there are millions of people who would mindlessly recite these 'statistics' for their inability to grasp methodology.

I would laugh at this, but it really represents the machinations by which so many of our countrymen (and women) are set against all reason.

1. That's why women have so much higher car insurance payments, right?

3. I don't get this shit at all
Why are they trying to prove that women shouldn't drive? Why are they trying to prove that drinking and driving isn't a bad idea? I mean, I know the answer but seriously, this is a new and obscure low.

4. So they're advocating turning all white men into...
...full-time taxi/limo drivers, ferrying women and minorities to and from work/shopping/school etc? Can't see any problem with this. Might make some of the supremacists learn a bit of humility.

9. Women! Stop complaining when your man drives drunk
In fact, just keep your mouth shut and keep passing him beers until you're spoken to. :sarcasm:

11. this part gets me the most:
"If only drinking White men drove all highway miles, the lifetime odds of an American dying in a traffic accident would decrease from 1 in 80 to 1 in 247, a rate equivalent to England."

So you're saying those pansy European Socialists are better than drunk white American men at driving?

12. The author is either being satirical, or is completely full of it
One of the scariest car trips I ever took was when a friend's father picked me up to take me to the movie theater one mile away. He was drunk on his ass, weaving through the streets. We had to tell him the light at a busy intersection was red, otherwise he would have driven through it and who knows what would have happened. Amazingly, we made it to the theater, and I swore I'd never willlingly ride with a drunk driver again.

The same year, one of my classmates was killed by a male drunk driver while visiting family in Mississippi.

A couple of years later on a bus trip in Missouri, the bus driver had to radio the cops because the guy ahead was driving in both lanes of a two-lane highway and forcing people off the road.

A bicycle-riding buddy was killed by a drunk driver a few years later.

Whoever thinks drunk driving is harmless is full of elephant dung.

14. I thought it was satire...
until I went to the site and clicked on "forum". Holy CRAP! I could only read titles, but this is pure White Supremacist KKK filth. I was unaware that drinking like a fish was one of the tenets of those scumbags, but I guess it is not surprising. One of the topics in the forum is "death to AA" or some such.

Why the hell can't we take all these demented bastards, strap dynamite to them, and send them after OBL?

I need to go take a shower and get lysol to spray my computer
