slowmoe57 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 He says New Yorkers are rude and are cutthroat drivers -- I'm sorry but what did he say that wasn't true. I grew up there and it's true you are rude and obnoxious -- dont be offended my NY traits are evident in the way I act as well - it turns some people off thats all.

He did something stupid and he's being punished. But the idea that he's now the worst person in the world is moronic. Anyone here in their 20s while under the influence done something stupid?

Guido Monzino Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Who gives a crap? This is a story? A drunk kid from the middle of nowhere America said NY drivers cut people off? Shocking.

Also, ask yourself why a video taken by the police after an arrest is released to the public. As a New Yawkah, I don't find what this dunce said insulting at all. It's true. Anyone driving with me will be treated to a variety of expletives hurled at other drivers for not signaling, going too slow, tailgating, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world has changed, back then people used to hold people up and revere them. Now it seems we move people up just to rip them down. Sometimes we forget these guys are humans who have exceptional athletic talent. He's what, 24 or something like that? If I was 24, in the starting rotation for a big city club and had money... I'd be out boozing and macking on girls EVERY night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving drunk is treated too lightly in this country. Don't disagree. But because someone is a professional athlete doens't mean they're any different than anyone else when it comes to being a young dumb human. Not an excuse at all, merely an explanation. We all have growing up to do one way or another. Having your youthful stupidity blown up like this is really kinda silly. Hopefully he has learned form this and thankfully no one was hurt.

It's almost like a trait we are born with. Growing up, I had a friend who at age three or four was tooling around on a toy car. As he was "driving" around his yard, he kept saying things like "Move you son of a b*tch", etc. When his Mom asked him where he had heard such things, he said from his father driving. That was just classic. To this day, my wife and I almost always argue in the car because of my insane driving behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been known to break the speed of sound with my rapid horn tap. Back in the 80s, I had a TR-7 with one of those tinny, English horns. I would let fly at a nano-second's notice to any road offender in my path. It would drive people inside and outside my car insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone is not paying attention and misses the red switch to green. I give a little honk, like eh "hey let's go" If I get cut off it's the long holding honk, pull up alongside the guy, flip em off, then cut em off. This is all just proper protocol. It's not wise to do that here -- people get shot for it. Well.. you're in Texas. I live amongst hippies so I get to be a total bully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
