It's a part of white conservative culture in general.
It's also an important part of American culture. Everyone envies cheats and gangsters, since they are successful in acquiring the trappings of wealth in a national culture that venerates same.
Yeah it’s like I said a few days ago, I don’t really understand why the MAGA people hate so-called gangsta rap so much.
All they talk about is the pursuit of munny munny munny by any means necessary…besides the clothes and preferred instrumentation, what’s the difference between rapping gang members and Reagan/tea party/MAGA confederates??
Except that the rappers are actual artists with some talent, and a lot better looking.

True, and both my city Mayor and PC said about the same thing. Apparently the city makes more money on traffic violations. 2-3% of our budget, part of which goes to the police department, to which i made my objection.
If i remember right, including insurance, the average DUI, costs around 10 grand nowadays. Ya'd think that'd be enough of a deterrent.
10 grand per person. Paid out to the courts, parole reporting, lawyers, mandatory drug counseling, MADD classes, towing outfits and fees up the wazoo. Lot a' people have their fingers in the till.
i've always thought the bars should be partly responsible. But that goes over about as well as holding gun manufacturer's responsible.
In some states, if not all, bars can be held partially liable for serving alcohol to someone who already had too many alcohol drinks. That's why bars and restaurants train their employees on recognizing patrons who've had too many drinks and how to handle them when they want more.
Why should anyone be surprised by glenn lying. He's stated, before, that he lies on this board so it's no surprise he lies in other areas of his life like in applying for a job. I wonder how many lies he's told his wife.

I am almost 65 anyone who is within 10 years plus or minus of my age and honest knows and will admit that in the 70s and 80s driving drunk was very common.
Even if you got pulled over nothing happened beyond a strong verbal warning. That has nothing to do with being white it is just the way it was.
As for lying on a resume again an example of my being honest. You surely don't think I am the only person here who ever enhanced a resume or lied to get a job

No one I know lies on their resume. That’s pretty scummy. Bragging about lying on your resume and giving tips on how to drive drunk. A real class act. I hope you stow your moonshine at home when driving your rig.

I thought it was pretty clear I was speaking primarily of the 70s and 80s.
As for moonshine you can always tell a Yankee. In the south it is referred to as white liquor. I have one friend who occasionally makes a batch from an old family recipe if you get my drift. His is the only I've ever had as I trust the source.

Only, I’m not a “Yankee.”
And you’re lying again. No where in your original statements, the first one on how to deal with cops, or what you said below, did you say you were referring to the 70s and 80s. You’re talking about what you do. In present tense.

Holding the bars makes a little sense. Until you consider that .08 is legally drunk. At .08 a person really isn't showing any signs of inebriation.
What I personally do when out is have no more than 2 the first hour. Then no more than 1 an hour after that. Then none the last hour before driving plus make sure I eat something.
That way you are never legally drunk. I also have a bottle of pop with me as a diversion

So you have never driven when inebriated
No, and the reason for never having driven inebriated was because I don't drink alcohol. My parents were only social drinkers and only drank when they had long-time firends come over to play bridge so alcohol was never a common thing in our family. Also, my friends in my teen years and early 20s weren't drinkers either. I even avoid cough syrup as much as I can because it has alcohol. FTR, I have had a small sip of wine and a small sip of beer when I was younger and I enjoyed neither.
While in the AF, I volunteered as the designated driver when our squadron had events like a Holiday Party or Dining-In or a Dining-out so those who had too many drinks could get home safely.
So, to re-answer your question I have never driven inebriated and because I don't drink I have never experienced what it was like to be drunk or to have a hangover.

Frank and Dean would say "We feel sorry for people who dont drink, because when you get up in the morning that's as good as you're gonna feel all day!"
I’m not much of a drinker either. A beer now and then. I tried some gin during Covid. Just not my thing.
I had a friend whose was in a severe car accident in high-school, because he and two friends were driving drunk. He suffered serious head injuries, and went through the rest of his life writing everything down to remember it. He died about 10 years ago, finally succumbing to his injuries.

I know of no one who lies on their resume because I wasn't in a position to need to review a resume. During my AF career, I did review a lot of performance reports, sat on records review as well as face-to-face quarterly/yearly awards boards, promotion boards for E-4s going for E-5 under the Stripes for Exceptional Performers programs and my internal BS detection system quickly picked out the lies, the exaggerations, and the fluff.

On the old board you admitted you purposely lied. Since the old board archive is gone those links aren't available but enough people on the board remember you stating that.
Are you denying you ever said you purposely lied on this board?

If you lie on your resume I’d expect chances are high you will be caught by your employer when they realize you can’t do what you say you you could, unless you’re an exceptional con artist.

I was stationed at Cannon AFB in Eastern New Mexico in the late 80s and two of our dental techs got busted downtown for DUI. After paying their fines and having to serve 30-days, on weekends, in jail they were allowed to drive again. A week before our squadron Holiday Party I was talking with them and they needed a way to get back into the good graces of the Dental Clinic Commander and the Hospital Commander so I suggested they volunteer as designated drivers. They were hesitant until I told them I get a kick out of see how people act when they've had a few too many. This got them interested and the volunteered. The party was on a Friday night starting at 7 pm.
On Monday, both of them came down to my shop and started talking to me about how much fun they had being sober at the party and watching how the officer and senior officers and other "serious" leaders were behaving. The volunteered to be designated drivers at the next squadron event.

Often, when people ask why I don't drink, instead of telling them what I've posted I just tell them if I'm going to do something stupid I don't want to blame it on alcohol. That's the lamest excuse used by losers. If I do something stupid I'll take responsibility for doing it sober.

You are correct in today's world. But pre computer enhanced resumes were very common

While I still enjoy a drink the last time I got wasted was 2 years ago and that was by accident.
As for drinking and driving I've had a cdl since they came out in 91 or 92. The risk is just to great.

Maybe in your circles. Not in mine. It’s not,”enhanced.” You lied about your skill set. You committed a type of fraud.
No offense but I believe you have lived a pretty boring life.....so far.
