MADD founder Candice Lightner BASHES THE MILITARY!!!!!!!!!!!

[lozoft9]

@suportable No, that's when the person himself fully matures. Its called making mistakes and the way to easily prevent them is called role modeling. And the easiest way to model is get the welp into the same situation you are in and do something wise. For instance: sit at a bar and calmly sip a beer, then munch on some pretzels and talk football for 30 minutes before hitting the road and having them do the same.

[killtroy811]

CNN said years back that she had been arrested for her 3rd DUI...

[b0bbymx5]

.... Say they are

[b0bbymx5]

@suportable I can only assume that your brain matures at 30, that doesn't mean that my freedoms should be affected after I served in a war, 30??? Why not prohibition? Not everyone is is mentally incompetent as you and your so-called experts

[Fuzzwuzz09]

She must really hate America. It's one thing to discriminate 18-20 year olds but to bash the military. If it wasn't for these brave "children" serving in our wars protecting her fat ass she wouldn't have any rights or freedom

[tylerj454]

"They are not adults thats why they are in the millitary" (Candice Lightner) So your saying children are fighting for our freedoms? Please lady walk a day over seas with my soldiers and tell me these words.

[BRIANNAistalksick]

OMG, someone tell this bitch to shut her face.

[Parstices]

Moronic soccer moms who come up with these overreaching organizations. MADD isn't about stopping drunk driving, it's about stopping drinking all-together. While they target parents who have one drink of wine at dinner, or one glass of beer, the real problem (The slobs who drink 10 beers in an hour) end up killing someone.

Organizations like this do nothing. They're just as bad as PETA (Lost all sight on their original goal for another (completely pointless) path entirely.

[Pookatube]

CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bonelessdog]

FUCK YOU MOTEHRFUCKING BITCHES GO TO HELL FUCKING PEICES OF SHIT

[ihopeucare]

*ridiculous

[killtroy811]

I saw on CNN a few years ago that Candice Lightner was arrested for her 3RD D.U.I. I'm sorry for her loss but I have absolutely No sympathy for a Hypocritical crusader!

[b0bbymx5]

@ryantravisaol

The point is, I was responsible at a young age.... I consciously joined the army at 17 and knew what I was doing.... There is no excuse for me coming home from a war on my 20th birthday and be discriminated against and denied the sale of alcohol.... I do not support this nanny state at all... Some kids may die.. Shit happens for the cost of freedom, but if "saving lives" consists of destroying the liberties this country was founded on, then what's the point?

[CComb501]

@b0bbymx5 Like I said at 18 you can take a bullet, have your nut sack shredded by an IED or decide to drop the hammer on another human being all to protect these neo-Nazi cunts Constitutional Rights but your not mature enough and your brain hasn't developed to the point for you to decide whether to have a drink or not. MADD IS FUCKED UP. The organization is destined to disintegrate. GOOD RIDENCE It's people like these that are destroying the fabric of this country

[lozoft9]

@b0bbymx5 First of all, thank you for your service to our country. Second of all,

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

—Benjamin Franklin

[CComb501]

Ok, I'm 18. I can take a bullet, have my nut sack shredded by an IED or decide to drop the hammer on another human being all to protect your neo-Nazi fat ass Constitutional Rights but I'm not mature enough and my brain hasn't developed to the point I can decide whether to have a drink or not. MADD, I can't think of words strong enough to describe how FUCKED UP YOU PEOPLE ARE. Your organization is destined to disintegrate. GOOD RIDENCE It' people like you that are destroying the fabric of this co

[Ryantravisaol]

@CComb501 actually, I think you missed her point. She said that teens shouldn't be allowed to drink nor should they be in war. She even goes on to say that the military accepts you in people you aren't fully developed as a secure adult leaving you malleable...Plainly, if you used your fucking head and listened to a word people say you would have heard that shes against teens in the military because teens, are under developed which is obvious because they are TEENS!

[CComb501]

@Ryantravisaol Point I was attempting to make is MADD is a fascest organization that has done more to destroy the rights of everyone.Their cause may be noble but they missed their mark.Treatment and education will go farther than lobbying our rights away.I still think MADD sucks.This is a revenge seeking organization that has more money than God.There is grief counsling and treatment centers for those with problems. Alcohol is too intrinsic to the economy for them to go after the root cause.

[Qdrum803]

its no use arguing with this fat bitch, she’s to stupid

[skierchic7]

Who is she to tell me I don't think for myself? She doesn't know me, nor does she give a shit about me.

[xpntrvfggd]

Why is that fat bitch ranting about teenagers? She must be holding a grudge. Maybe she couldn't control herself as a teenager, got too drunk at a party, got fucked in the ass by one of her classmates, and decided to raise the drinking age. If that didn't happen, she deserves it anyway.

[Ryantravisaol]

@xpntrvfggd Her child was killed because an underage teens was drunk and driving. That's why she's on a crusade to 'save teen lives' not end them. Do you think it's OK to watch your friend die because he made the wrong decision, or how about your parent or sibling who may be killed. Do you not care for their lives more than you care about drinking under 21? Simple question, yes or no...Yes or No?

[xpntrvfggd]

@Ryantravisaol Of course I care about saving lives, but I realize that drunk driving and underage drinking are NOT the same thing. Many more lives could be saved through tougher DUI enforcement, including hard time for repeat offenders. But treating tax-paying citizens like immature children only masks the problem. Young adults will never stop drinking; they simply lock themselves frat houses and dorm rooms and binge.

[xpntrvfggd]

@Ryantravisaol I propose we allow 18-20 year-olds to drink in bars, restaurants, nightclubs, etc. while at the same time clamping down on drunk driving. Any objections to that idea?

[CComb501]

@xpntrvfggd When I was 18 it was legal to drink.I served in the military and everyone of us drank and we also did our jobs like responsible adults.I'm well over the legal drinking age now but it infuriates me that these neo-Nazi ass wipes have been able to inact such legislation.If you can join the military, get shot or have to kill in the name of freedom of course you are responsible enough to decide to drink or not.It should be YOUR choice not that of a bunch of revenge seeking sickos

[rice16851]

@xpntrvfggd I agree, when you turn 18 your are an adult and should be treated like one.

[ihopeucare]

@Ryantravisaol

Do you not care about freedom in this country? why don't we just ban alcohol period for everyone then no lives will be lost from drunk driving

[Ryantravisaol]

@ihopeucare You really believe that children have the ability to think rationally and have the foresight to practice safe drinking? You have to set rules in life. Should we have the freedom to steal?

[ihopeucare]

@Ryantravisaol

Well the government set the age of 18 as an adult, so they should get all the rights that come with along with the responsibility they already do. They are not children. And by the way, every country except the United States and three arab countries have a drinking age below 21. Virtually every country is 18. And these "children" are actually less likely to drink and drive then older adults, shockingly. The ones that do have more of a chance of getting into an accident, though.

[trufflemaster]

Candice Lightner shall rot and burn in HELL forever. And I don't Give a FUCKING DAMN.

[b0bbymx5]

"Drinking at 18 can servery damage the brain. They are not responsible enough for alcohol!! PERIOD"

Well looks like we have some kind of an expert here. Let's see if we can continue to be prejudice and just assume you are too young to drink at 18.

Also, you mention SAFETY? I hate to tell you, but SAFETY comes second, LIBERTY comes first in this country. Even at 18 some people can make rational decisions

[Ryantravisaol]

@MTLTV1765 How do you know they don't have brain damage, how do you know that you don't? Is it safe to say that if someone was stupid they wouldn't know what stupid was? If that doesn't make sense to you, you probably have brain damage as you've lost reading comprehension. 'Ignorance is bliss' do you know what that means?

[ihopeucare]

@Ryantravisaol

And isn't kind of hyprocritical that we charge these adults as an adult for MINOR consumption? Ha, ha, that is just rediculous. Why don't we start having the government controlling your life for your own good, making sure you don't eat junk food and making eating vegetables and fruits a requirement. Lets see how you like your freedom being taken away for your "own good" or for the good of your family and work, because they need you to stay alive also.

[Ryantravisaol]

@b0bbymx5 I agree but some is worse than most and most adults make better, more rational and logical decisions than teens...You can say that's just opinion or you can look at highway safety statistics from every country. If teens were just as mature and reasonable as adults then why do many bars in NYC not allow in people under that age of 25? Because they are not as mature...

[ihopeucare]

@Ryantravisaol

Those NYC bars probably are just wanting a different atmosphere, its a place for older adults. its not necessarily because younger adults are immature.

[FoodNegotiator]

i understand the underage drinking is bad but its gonna happen anyway. so why not just put them in a safe environment like a bar so they can be watched. underage drinking is more out of control then ever. lowering the drinking age did nothing but piss people off.

[tatomuck18]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I dont know if I can trust these kids with a car AND a GUn and a BEER!!!

[tatomuck18]

YOUR BRAIN ISNT FULLY DEVELOPED UNTIL YOUR MID 20s

Adding alchohol to the undeveloped brain can be extremely dangerous. Its better off if all underage drinking were to stop all at once

[skierchic7]

@tatomuck18 but the reality is that will never be possible. Underage people will always have access to alcohol and will always find ways to get drunk. Trying to STOP it completely doesn't make any common sense. That's like wishing for a fairy to fly down from lala land and wave away all the problems in the world with a magic wand.it's a fantasy. Besides how can someone who doesn't know me tell me what I can or cannot put in my body? teens drink.It's been like that for years as it always will be

[go4ride]

WarningShot7-

I beleive you iluustrated her point perfectly. It's about judgement, or lack thereof, in the under-21 group.

[MTLTV1765]

I think she is a neo-prohibitionist who pretends not to be one. She should have, instead of leaving MADD in 1985, stayed in the organization and create policies that are intended to keep MADD as an organization that only combats drunk driving, not drinking in general.

[Anthony009R]

Why aren't more people in an uproar about this? Someone needs to stand up to her.

[Anthony009R]

This is for all those who are under 21 and in the military. I can understand why this woman would upset you. I was equally offended. But you don't need this mad woman's aprproval. You have already passed the test. By my book, you can drink. So many people will over-simplify the duties of a soldier, marine, sailor, airman, etc. It's really sad. I used to have sympathy for her, but it looks like she is just trying to find another scapegoat.

[WarningShot7]

fuck you bitch!!! back the fuck off of me and let me have a god damn drink!!!! there will always be drinking deaths even with the fucking law. and back off communist america!!!!!

[Alfrunk]

She is a horrid woman. WHat about DAMM. Drunks against Madd Mothers?

[WarningShot7]

ill join lets make the group.

[chaz5656]

fucking cunt

[ln2iceage]

wow

[indydm011]

This lady needs a reality check. Ma'am, these "malleable" 18-year olds who "don't think for themselves" are out their risking their lives, defending YOUR right to spout off conservative crap like this. This reminds me of that church in Kansas that protests soldier's funerals.

Candy, have respect for our military. How would you like it if you were shipped off to Iraq, got your right arm blown off, and then came back here and was told that you couldn't hold a glass of wine in your left arm?

[scata99]

What a cunt, did she just say I'm not an adult at 18? I guess I shouldn't' be tried as an adult in court as well.

[tatomuck18]

YOU can be tried as an ADULT at ANY AGE if the crime is severe enough!! Dont think that just because your under 18 that you can do anything and your ABOVE THE LAW!!!

[Qdrum803]

Well guess what cunt, those "immature" 18 year olds are out fighting for your rights (which we no some of them you want to take away) so you can sit at home on your fat bitch ass and shove Twinkies down pie hole and add to your chins. FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING FAT CUNT PIECE OF WORTHLESS SHIT FUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! I CANT SAY IT ENOUGH.

[ihopeucare]

@Qdrum803

your comment made me laugh so hard. I know this comment is old, but I totally agree with you.

[Qdrum803]

I fucking hate this bitch on so many levals. i hate her as much as one man can hate another person.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

MADD is about as relevant today as the schoolmarms that made up the so-called Women's Temperance Union in the 1920s. This is nothing more than a bunch of paranoid puritannical bitches who turn a whole swath of 18-21 year olds into criminals for doing nothing more than having a beer. Fuck this bullshit! Why is the drinking age at 18 everywhere else in the civilized world, but America continues to live in Puritan times?

[CoffinmakerXIX]

little bitch

[JaySuper666]

her original intentions for starting madd were right on the money. Now it is all messed up with these prohibitionist wannabees. Some kids are gullible, there is a point, but it shouldn't have anything to do with their personal decisions. Let them go about what they wa

[repelghosts]

THINK HER KID WANTED TO PASS ON, SHIT WIT A BITCH ,HO LIKE DAT FOR A mOMMA, i VOTE FOR

d.a.m.m.

drunks against mad mothers!

[LabbySidhe]

What an ignorant bitch. :(

[BryanNC08]

That fat bitch needs to just die a slow painful death. She's just mad because she never got invited to a caiger when she was in highschool because she was too fat and ugly. So she doesn't want teenagers to have fun.

[Ryantravisaol]

@BryanNC08 Are you seriously angry with this women for not wanted kids under the age of 21 to drink and not wanting anyone to drink and drive? It's been 2 years since you wrote this comment, I wonder if your opinion has changed not that you are a more mature adult?

[CJCody2006]

It's obvious what she's doing. she doesn't give a damn about other victims and she never did, not does she care about stopping drunk drivers. She just started this group because she wanted an easy way out of accepting the fact that her daughter is dead.

[Ryantravisaol]

@CJCody2006 or, she started MADD to educate parents and children about the dangers of drunk driving...

[CJCody2006]

The task of punishing drunk drivers for their mistakes belongs to the Judicial Court System, and not to a bunch of grief-crazed parents who can't control their emotions.

[cshepherd29]

Both of my parents died in a drunk driving accident when I was 19. My five sisters (two of whom were in the accident with them) have never acted like this either. We've seen worse things in our lives. My best friend from high school and his father died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, and my sister's friend was shot to death at Virginia Tech.

[cshepherd29]

Two of my father's bi-racial cousins were lynched in 1964 in the south. He never acted like this either.

[cshepherd29]

My mother lost her entire family in the Holocaust during World War II (289 People in all) She never acted like this a day in her life.

[slider2641]

Candy Lightner is an ageist bitch.

Some see them as defenders, leaders, friends, a helping hand. Candy Lightner sees them as kids.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

Let me get this straight. Drinking age of 18 works just about everywhere in the world, but American 18-21 year olds are exceptionally irresponsible and should not be allowed to drink? Why not just day they're also too irresponsible for voting, getting married... or living apart from their parents!

[tatomuck18]

Too many high school kids are 18 and even 19. We dont want them comming to school drunk and giving their even younger friends any alcohol. Lowering the drinking age would only mean kids will be allowed to buy it for themselves and then for their even younger middle school friends. WE SHOULD MAKE THE LAWS MUCH TOUGHER AND STRICTER!!

RAISE IT TO 25. Maybe then adults would think twice about giving alcohol to minors. Comparing drinking and military is an IGNORANT comparison!

[fjh5003]

Here's another reason why I have no respect for Mothers Against Drunk Driving!

[tatomuck18]

You should be thankful for helping keep the roads safer with fewer drunk drivers. There is now going to be breathalyzers installed in repeat offenders. The charges for drunk driving WILL BE much stricter. There are way too many kids driving and you want to add drinking in that deadly mix? Do you have any idea how deadly that will be? The 21 law saves lives.. Your BRAIN is NOT fully developed til 25. Drinking at 18 can servery damage the brain. They are not responsible enough for alcohol!! PERIOD

[jakeman12002]

what a fucking stupid bitch

[wave76]

That is just utterly insulting. My grandfather joined the army at fucking 15 by lying.

[snipa4lyfe]

The drinking age is 21 because MADD gives politicians cash. Nuff said.

[MottullMaelstrom]

So our boys in the armed service are old enough to throw their lives away for nothing but they're also still too young to share a cold one?

[tatomuck18]

What an IGNORANT comparison. They dont need alcohol! Try drinking water instead. Its better for you.

[stitcheslove]

WOW. Stupid. Fucking. Bitch.

[kmgcatcousin]

PLEASE tell me she just PMSing.

[rambo26]

I'd drink and drive into her...just sayin

[skelva]

She must be a mean drunk.

[chasealmighty]

This makes my head hurt, the stupidity dumbfounds me

[bberto1]

this woman is saying that people that fight and die for our freedom shouldn't be able to have a beer because they aren't adults. I'm sorry, but if you shoot a man that is coming at you with bombs strapped to himself...you are a man in every sense of the word...this woman needs to be punched in the head

[tatomuck18]

Why are you so desperate for teens to be able to get unlimited alcohol? Why is that so important? Theres different ages for different things. You cant rent a car until 25 and cant run for president until 35. I dont see you complaining about that? Your brain isnt fully developed until 25 and drinking at 18 will servery damage it. They dont need to be drinking period. Its NOT IMPORTANT!!!

[clockworkgirl21]

That lady is nuts.

[bicyclingfish]

Sounds like she doesn't respect the people she supposedly is fighting for. Seems like just another talking head armed with her mouth and a mic who will say anything to get the camera to look at her and her organization.

[tatomuck18]

Do you have any idea how teens go crazy with their substances? Do you have any idea how reckless and crazy they drive? Adding alcohol to the mix is a DEATH TRAP!! You should thank us so you can make it home tonight without some drunk driver crossing the yellow divider! Its about your SAFETY!!

SAFETY is the number one priority!

[SnowBoardingDragon]

Oh god this lady is off her rocker.

[silence1sucks]

So let me get this straight, under 21 year olds shouldn't have the right to drink because they are not adults because they are in the military.....

Sounds like she has a superb understanding of logical reasoning.
