There is a thread about people who drink and drive and if they should be given the death penalty. I think you should know what its like to be drunk before you comment on how drunk people act. Not supporting drinking, not support drinking or driving, not supporting what drunks do, not defending I just want to know how many of you have been drunk before.
 
I have been drunk and intoxicated in otherways. I put in the other ways for people who have been high but not drunk.
 
Hi Mick,

I voted no since I have never been drunk.

I think you should know what its like to be drunk before you comment on how drunk people act.

I am curious as to why you think this? :)
 
Its weird being drunk. Not to mention you can not comment on how some one thinks wioth out understanding the state of mind they were in.
I'll see if I can get around to listing somethings
 
Thanks Mick. I can see what you're saying but I think you can easily comment on how drunk people act by merely observing them. You don't have to have been drunk yourself to see how they act! Of course, knowing what they actually think is a different matter and I would agree that you cannot comment on how a drunk person thinks unless you have been drunk yourself or a drunk person has described it to you.
 
I don't think this is a case for empathy.
to take it to extreme, do you think we should murder people to understand what's it like to be a murderer?

regardless, the poll is also not very meaningful. Even if there were muslim people who got drunk here, they wouldn't tell. we cover our personal sins.
 
Allah* will know if they have been drunk and if they have lied.

Alchol changes how your brain works murdering some one does not change how your brain works. That is a huge difference.

* you know if you are all right and what not

i'm irish...

i think that when kids turn 16, they should be given 2 choices: permission to drink alcohol or try to get a drivers license. NOT both! if you drink, it should be unlawful for you to drive. EVER!

of course that's only where drinking is permitted.

:w:
 
I voted no too, i understand your point though. Can say the same about smokers.. kind of. i always ask my cousin to quit it, but can never understand how hard it is if i have never smoked in my life.
 
So, what about all these campaigns to stop drink driving and all?
Surely you can see the harms of drink driving and all right?
Some people have lost their life due to the driver of the vehicle they collided with being drunk. That was their defence. 'I was drunk.'
You don't need to experience it to see the harms right. It's like one of those things where prevention is better than cure, but hey, if someone's curious to find out what it's like, who are we to stop them eh? (!)
 
My point was not that they should be treated likely, just that some members should show a bit more restraint because they do no understand.

why should i have to ask Woodrow? i've only been living in the US for 50 years! :blind:

you CAN "get around and live" without drinking. and if you can't then taxis should be a big part of your future. i just think that folks should HAVE to choose. oh, and this is unrelated to the other thread.

Still, it causes fitnah. Not nice, for a muslim.

Lol. It's not about lying to Allah. Of course he knows.

Ah. I see.
In that case, the difference is understanding by knowledge, and understanding by experience. What would the extra information we gained by experiencing help? We already know that it clouds judgement and all that.

At any rate, even though murder and drinking are different, they are against the set of morals / laws that are crucial for muslims. Empathizing would be dangerous. I know this from experience :)
