Sauced Tiger

[MU82]

Regardless of whether it was alcohol or prescription meds, he should have known better.  Drugs like Vicodin and Xanax come with clear warnings not to drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how they affect you.  If he was just starting to take them - not knowing how he would respond - it was irresponsible to drive...and probably illegal.

So OK - now I buy that it was prescription pain meds.  But that still is no excuse.

Agreed. If he had killed somebody, that somebody would have been no less dead just because Tiger had taken Xanax instead of a 12-pack of Guinness.

But it's classier to be strung on prescription meds than beer or street drugs.

[wadesworld]

He's checking into rehab so there goes that excuse that he just didn't know the drugs he took would affect him that way.

Yep. That's why Rush believes a poor black guy caught with $50 of crack should do 20 years while a rich white guy guilty of fraud and opioid abuse should get a $50 million broadcasting contract.

You are just another failed journalistic hack that is jealous of  Rush's success.

Wonder if the Bernie Sanders guy who shot a bunch of people today was on pills, booze, or something else, ainnner?

The problem was the guy was not on pills.  No doubt he suffered from mental illness, a disease that has so much stigma associated with it that people are afraid to admit they have problems.

  "no doubt" ??  i realize there are hippa laws and doctor-patient confidentiality issues, but i didn't know he was a patient of yours.  the big tip-off that he MAY have suffered from this mental illness you speak of however, one has to look no further than his own party affiliation ;)now there's the problem right there-heyheyheyn'er?

Huh, I thought it was only 82 that brought politics anymore.

But hey, thoughts and prayers are at an all-time high, that'll solve the problem.

You gotta know the rules, reinko. As long as you end your post with "I'm really a badger fan" or "heyheyheyn'er," it serves as a cloaking device for previously expressed political thought.

Here's an example:

Lock him up, heyheyheyn'er! 

And throw in an emoji, and it's like making believe politics was never discussed!

This was the first time I ever tried to use the "word" and, appropriately, it was to make fun of people who use it. So this won't affect me (or most of us) in the future.

Interesting diagnosis, Dr Forgetful, but unless you consider being unable to accept the results of the 2016 election a mental illness I haven't heard that this guy had any history in that regard.

Dismissing an attempted mass political assassination with a "the guy didn't take his pills" given the tone of the discourse in our country today is myopic and dangerous.

Also, don't forget just a sprinkle of thinly veiled misogyny, that usually gets you off scot-free as well.

You miss the point entirely.  The point is that mental illness in this country is viewed with immense stigma, to the point that most that suffer from mental illnesses refuse to get help, and even refuse to realize they have a problem. 

A person that leaves his wife and business and drives off the DC to live in his car with no plan, no aims, is not mentally stable.  A person who commits mass shootings is not mentally stable. 

A person who calls for violence against his opponents is not mentally stable.  We have problems in this nation, and one of the biggest ones is not recognizing and taking care of mental illnesses.

Oh yeah, and Forgetful is fine...I've never been big on using titles and let anyone call me by my first name...otherwise I might forget it.
