With 5+ million members...only if we can spread the word about being safe on the road, with laying out the consequences of those crimes. I think will be good contribution.
People know its wrong, but continue to commit such a crime...maybe they don't think it is a crime, maybe they don't know it carries a criminal record...they don't know they can go to JAIL for a while and ruin their career?
Kill others in the process. Well it can happen. We all can help each other.
Most people will say, "its their life to ruin"...well there is the other part. The ones that will lose their life or be injured in the process is what we really want to help!!
It can happen to someone on this Forum, well only if they can see this thread..it might help??
We are speaking about both Impaired and Distracted driving....which we all should know by now "Distracted" is more common than Impaired Driving, and have more fatalities as of lately.
"PLAN AHEAD" is another good start.
"DWD" - "Driving While Distracted" = is the new "DUI".
Hopefully as we go further into this thread, everyone can be educated...that is how people learn from their mistakes. Someone have to let them know RIGHT from WRONG!!
The first thing to learn is RESPECT!!
I grew that way, so that was not an issue for me. Give it a try!!
Ok...I've deleted some posts on this here thread. The OP is trying to make a valid point that fall within our rules and guidelines...please stop trolling here.
Want to participate in this thread? Do it in a respectful way...otherwise, stay out!!
Cheers,

Could you please list those valid points, so i can try to answer them?
I am not here to change laws or add them, i am here to raise awareness. I know awareness might be a heavily used word, that people just ignore it.
But the bottom line is, if i can help a few to understand the consequences and danger that comes with those senseless acts...i am doing right.
No one lost here!! Just see the need.

Let's just start with how "dwd" is impossible to avoid. There are early signs of a push to ban eating while driving. What next? No more stereos? Blood pressure monitor hooked to ignition, so you can't drive if you're upset at all?
People want to put blame on everything a person does to avoid the truth:
Some people are just too stupid to drive responsibly.
People will always make driving errors, no matter what.
You can't put enough laws on the books to prevent all distractions.

On topic, drink is just a small issue amongst a hundred other dangerous things I've seen. Women putting on makeup doing 70 down the motorway, people rolling cigs whilst driving with their knees, reaching back to swing at the kids, people taking pictures of accidents with their phones, people that can barely see over the steering wheel. The list is endless, some people shouldn't even be behind the wheel of a car and god knows how some people managed to even pass their test

Lets not get carried away with what is really the issue here. Getting high and using a mobile device behind the wheel don't mix, period!!
DWD is not impossible to avoid....you just need to set behind the wheel RULES. Once that is set, obey it.
Do you really think eating while driving is safe?
Just drive, it is what you are supposed to do.
I don't have a say on this, only to be cautious, use lots of spacing, know your surroundings, use presets, create playlists if using an iPod and just let it play. Steering wheel operation is becoming standard. Stereo is secondary, driving is primary!!
You shouldn't drive upset. People do not know this, especially the ones getting upset while using the cellphone. Cool down first.
What do you mean by blame...truth?
You call it stupid, which might just be distraction, novice driver, impaired, upset, stressed, etc...
Everybody is not perfect, there will be errors....There is a slim chance of having errors if you are 100% focused on driving and follow the rules and regulations of the road. Basically if you are gonna cut a tree down, would you use the cellphone while cutting the tree down? Would you eat while cutting the tree down? No, because you can get injured or killed, or kill others around you.
We don't need Laws, we just gotta teach ADULTS common sense. I have no clue how to teach common sense.
Not sure what you mean...Maybe that is why i see the need to do this.
My point is there will ALWAYS be distractions, and recent talk here on laws yet to be in the books is absurd.
When you're stuck in traffic for 3 hrs in the morning and 3 at night, having nothing to eat or drink, expecting no distractions or interruptions, expecting that you won't drive if you're worried about work, or pull over every time your child gets disrespectful... It's all a bit far fetched.
Focus on the road, plan ahead, but a fascist environment isn't necessary for driving. It's not hard to sip coffee in traffic, cram a quick bit in every two minutes, etc.
Maybe those real world distractions aren't things you've experienced while driving (assuming you do drive).

There will always be distractions outside of the car. Once you train yourself to not be distracted, everything will be okay.
Remember that you have a family to take from point A to point B safely.
People are the ones to blame here, on why there is such Laws planned ahead.
Only if I started this earlier, maybe those Laws could have been prevented.
The car is DEFINITELY not a lunchroom. But I do admit doing this previously.
Once your kids seatbelt is secured, whatever it is can wait until you stop safely.... I have 5 children to deal with at times.
Disrespectful?? Maybe you mean to say "act up"...No child should be disrespectful toward their parents, from day one!!
I do not drink coffee...but I occasionally take a bottle of water with me.
Now, just to be clear...I refuse to be Distracted in close quarters while driving. If there is a fair amount of spacing and clear surroundings, also in a staggered position...then I will choose to take that sip of water, or even touch the stereo.
I am 37 yrs old now... I do drive, I am a Professional Driver...My Licence Class is ACMZ.
A - Any tractor-trailer or combination of motor vehicle
C - Any regular bus with designed seating capacity for more than 24 passengers
M - Motorcycle
Z - Air Brake
I must say this, I was younger at one point and totally opposite of what I am right now.
Only if there was someone there to put me in check, to show me RIGHT from WRONG!!
I am here with a Goal, and that is to spread the word that will protect and save human lives, and also prevent people's future and careers being destroyed by this senseless crime.

Remember the Milk is a good app. Download, install, but never key in any data. Now, memorize your shopping lists, but NEVER write it down anywhere. Every time you forgot to buy something, shout at your phone and say, "You never remind me about these important stuff." That is a great approximation of 90% of non-sexually related arguments. Oh, and you'll feel like throwing the phone away, but you've invested too much time on it to do so. And think of the sd-cards. I mean kids.
Start using Astrid, it's semi-sarcastic reminders for you to do stuff will be good practise. Also set the reminders to the highest frequency to get an idea of how nagging will feel like from then on.
Delete everyone from your contacts except your wife. That'll give you an idea on how your social life will be after you get married. Unless you married your best friend, which IMO is kinda retarded (no offense to the mentally disabled. Or to the married for that matter) coz you should know how to coax sex out of your best friends of the opposite sex anyway.
Get a dog, and a cat, and a goat. Set the dog on the goat, and the cat on the dog, and never feed the goat. Now, let loose a pet hamster. This has nothing to do with getting married, except that you will feel like the dog, your wife is the cat, the goat is your sex life, and the hamsters are your kids.
Explanation: you, as the dog, will keep wanting sex (goat), but the goat is totally apathetic to your needs. The cat will keeping sic-ing itself on you, but you are so focused on the goat (sex) that you are ignoring something you could have controlled easily. Since the goat is never fed, it means you'll never have sex. And everytime you do, it'll either smell of goat (that's your wife) or the goat will kick in you in 'nads and you'll never wanna have sex again (but you're a dog and a few days after the pain faded you'll start humping the goat, I mean your wife, again). Now when your kids are born (the hamsters) the cat will totally forget about you and everytime you hump the goat, the cat will look at you in disgust.

Get Angry Birds. Jog for 30 minutes and then have ONE attempt at getting three stars. This will be the approximation for trying to please your wife sexually. And you can only have a go at each of the Seasons campaign on the appropriate day. Also remember that Angry Birds Seasons do not have an "Anniversary" campaign or a "Birthday" Campaign. Try as you might, you'll never remember when these campaigns are supposed to be. Then...
Download FML and PostSecrets. Laugh, or cry, or laugh and cry at the same time as people put up stuff that mirrors your life exactly. Especially the trying to hump a goat part. If you are a New Zealander, you can just talk to a neighbour (pun intended) about the goat part, except they prefer sheep.

My Rant to start:
I hate when driving behind someone and they want to make a right hand or left hand turn and turn from the driving lane when there is a perfectly good turn lane.
Dear Apple:
Why you have underhanded techniques to try and muscle out the competition?!
Why can't you just....I don't know....NOT SUCK!?
I think I've lost the little respect for apple that could possibly exist inside the deepest depths of my heart.
But of course the masses of the world will be like "IOS is so revolutionary!" They've just caught up with everyone else!

Couple of things that need to be adressed here
TheRomMistress said:
I mean, jelly needs to be refrigerated....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First off, I think you mean "Jam" or "Fruit Preserve"....
This is jelly...........
And as for keeping it in the fridge..... well thats just wrong. Its almost as bad as keeping tomato sauce in the fridge....
Secondly, and more importantly......
DO NOT start a rant thread if your "rant" is only one line long
Thats not a rant............
Thats nothing but a minor gripe........
If your gonna rant, RANT. Dont just throw out a tiddly little one liner and expect people to feel sorry for you. You need to make them feel your pain!
Your need to spew absolute bile and vitriol at whatever it is thats grinding your gears.
I dont expect to come in here and see a threads called "Rants Thread" only to open it up and find you crying into your soup because someone cut across you on your way home from work....
I want to experience a level of anger not seen since that video of the angry german kid smashing his keyboard to bits! I want to believe your so absolutely livid with rage that you would punch your own mother full force in the face if she popped her head around the door to offer you a cup of tea!
There should be pictures of you stood on the roof of your house with a megaphone in one hand and a bottle of whisky in the other screaming blue murder at the cops below.
There should be ridiculous amounts of the most vile and offensive profanity imaginable, language of such a filthy and depraved nature that it would make a sailor blush.(but not on XDA
It beggars belief that this is what passes for a rant these days. In my day rants would go on for days..........
Thats the problem with "da yoof" of today, theres no passion. Nothing gets your blood pumping except Justin Bieber and the new limited edition flavour of Doritos.
Back in my day rants would go on for days. You could walk into any pub and find an old man in the corner jabbering on for hours putting the world to rights. You come back 2 hours later and he's still be going. Come back in another 2 hours and he'd be starting all over again from the beginning.
And thats another thing, whats up with pubs these days?
They dont even smell like pubs anymore, I remember when you walk past a pub at any hour of the day and smell nothing but stale beer and cheese and onion crisps. (Thats right crisps not "chips", chips is the correct name for "fries" ). Pubs nowadays smell like the perfume counter at an overpriced department store....They dont even sell pickled eggs
They're just filled with overgroomed morons with stupid hairdos wearing T-shirts sporting the name of a Japanese city they've probably never heard of and a random number! Pffft most places dont even serve a decent pint. Its all watered down continental lagers that think they're better than a real pint because they're made with some obscure type of hops and barley cmobination. They dont even let you re-use your glass after your finished your drink because the health and safety types might wet they're pants if they see someone using the same glass for two drinks in a row. Its H&S gone mad thats what it is!!
Like those kids that werent even allowed to play conkers at school without safety goggles, they probably had to walk through some bleak inner city craphole full of junkies and degenerates all by themselves to get to school in the first place because they're lazy benefit cheating parents couldnt be bothered to get off they're lazy ass and take them, but OHHH NOOOOO, heaven forbid they should play conkers and maybe get hit in the face by a tiny little fragment of some overgrown seed......
Not that kids these days can even get hold of a decent conker these days, back in the day you could find them everywhere, big as a cats head.
Like that cat from next door, always coming across into my garden and crapping all over my prize begonias. I oughta set up a snipers nest in my loft and wait for it to come creeping in one night then.... BOOOOM..... headshot!!
Of course, I'd be in the wrong.....
"It was just a defenceless kitty " they'd cry......
Bah, It was trespassing on my property and I was defending myself. Whats the world coming too when a man cant even defend his own home from being attacked by his neighbours rogue feline??
This countrys gone to the dogs I tell you..............
Anyway, I dont have time for this I need to go and teach that bloody cat a lesson..........

Apparently not...
Honestly i don't understand why someone wants more then 3 kids.. after 3 kids either the woman should get the tubes tied or the guy should get vasectomy ,
And also parents should take care of there kids and teach them about birth control... the problem is that they don't believe in birth control cause of their religion or they drink too much and forget to wear one or they just say F*ck it and do it anyway even if they don't have a condem

Contraception? What is that?
It's amazing to think that the entire world is reliant on a simple premise that we need ever more young people to sustain our race and our economy. It sounds logical but it's a dangerous and unprecedented runaway effect! Look at it like this:
The Welfare system in the US went something like this. "We in power will want to retire when we're old". "Who will pay for that?". "Well, the young 'uns who are working will pay for that. There's less of us and more of them after all, so each of them pays a fraction, which is enough to sustain us few"
Of course that large group of young people grow old and become a large group of old people. An even larger group of young people are now needed to provide for that ever increasing group of old folk. Even an imbecile can see how badly that logic fails. In it's inception there were 40 young folk providing for each of the elderly. Now its almost completely reversed and the state has to make up the difference.
This is what the worlds economy is based on. Illogical math. It's the same with population. We have a runaway but unsustainable population growth. When the same thing happens in a Deer population for example, when the herd becomes bigger than the habitat can sustain, nature will take over and the herd will reduce it's number naturally. Some will starve of course but they will learn over time that it's not a good time to reproduce and birth rates will fall. All species control their numbers in this fashion.
Oh, with one exception, Humans. We're reliant now on ever increasing numbers to sustain us while simultaneously digging a deeper and deeper hole for ourselves. From a socio-economic standpoint we're the herd that's about to outgrow our habitat. I wonder what natural mechanisms will come into play?
Some already have of course. In the civilised world birth rates are falling. Makes sense as people can only afford two, not four children any more. That's a nice natural control. The problem is we now need six to sustain our economic infrastructure. So on the one hand, we're lightening the load on our fragile resources, but we're dooming ourselves to economic calamity at the same time!
Anybody who can reconcile the two and solve both problems at once will probably end up as not only Nobel Lauriete, but as Supreme Leader and ruler of the planet for life!

All manner of dystopian movies, including that one! I'd be eight years in the grave using that system of population control. If you've read the Stephen King short story, or seen the movie version, 'Children Of The Corn' had the same premise.
The thing is we are kinda living outside of natural controls now. One person i read said that "we no longer evolve as a species, we evolve our tools instead". It's scary but true. The human lifespan was significantly shorter in the age where we had less control over it. Survival of the fittest reigned supreme. If there wasn't enough food to go around, the population stagnated until there were bountiful supplies again.
Now we don't care if there's enough to go around. There isn't, we all know that. But what we have isn't distributed equally. That's the real crime. 10% of the world using 90% of the worlds resources? While the 10% die in poverty?

We'll jump in generation ships and head out into the galaxy.
Or, once mining asteroids takes off, the creation of space stations, think Rama, or Bab5.
Something to think about....If technology evolves to the point that the rich and powerful no longer need the working class to sustain them...think robots and sophisticated computer intelligence and integration...they may well bring about wars and destruction on humanity to rid the earth of the poor and working class. Their technology would allow them to continue.
Maybe... But it will take a looooooooong time before this happens. I don't think there is anything to worry about right now. Also, I remember reading an article that said that all the processing power in the whole world is about as "smart" as 1 human brain. I'm not sure if that's bs or not, but really makes you think

That suits my own personal belief that the universe is inside a singularity that will expand for a nearly infinite time, then contract for a nearly infinite time and inevitably gib gnab all over again.

Incidentally, back OT, I do obviously believe that humanity will go away at some point. We're not going to be here forever, especially when you consider how long we have been here and how long everything else has been here. We're not even a blink.

That isn't what I'm referring to. Humanity will continue. The only difference is the elite, rich and powerful may murder off the undesired poor and middle class.
Sounds like a mashup of Terminator and iRobot!
I think it may have been James Lovelock in 'Gaia', (although there have been others), who posited the idea that any intelligent species would evolve to a point where they would create the means to their own destruction. We don't realise the wheels are in motion as our lifespan is too short to see the bigger picture.
You could say this is already happening. Short-sightedness could lead to our downfall. For example, the Industrial revolution leading to out of control global warming and the near extinction of man, might take place over a period of a few centuries. A period longer than any one generation will experience, and yet in the longer term the threat could be just as real.
Overpopulation and a scarcity of resources like fresh water, could lead to wars and famine. An over reliance on infrastructure like the Internet could bring the world to it's knees if it all happens to go pear shaped. Then there's any number of scenarios where an energy shortage leads to a dystopian, nightmare of a future for all of us.
There's also the possibility of a Skynet type holocaust and the ever present danger from the impending zombie apocalypse. Not to mention the universe may just decide to throw us a curve-ball one day and send an extinction event sized comet straight down our throats. The Yellowstone caldera may eventually decide to 'belch' one day and seriously **** up the lives of anybody living within a radius of, oh i don't know..a whole planets length from it?
Perhaps the Las Palmas mountain will eventually slip into the sea, as it's likely to do at any time, and simply eradicate the whole Eastern seaboard of the North American continent in an instant. That may please a lot of people, but i'm sure that'd have some pretty serious consequences for everyone come to think of it.
Maybe we'll eventually decide that sitting on an unused nuclear stockpile is basically a waste of time and money, and it'd just be more fun to fire them at each other coz, you know...it's why we made them in the first place, right?
To be frank, we could all die a thousand different ways tomorrow and the Universe wouldn't notice, nor would it care. We persist in seeing things one life-time after another and yes, the things that we applaud now for bringing us joy could well be the things that cause us misery in future. It could equally be that something beyond our control does the job for us but the outcome would be the same.
And yet we'll all carry on regardless, raping the planet and slaughtering each other in the most myopic and idiotic fashion. As long as our immediate needs are fulfilled it doesn't really matter..it'll be somebody elses problem, long after we're dead right?
TL;DR? Robots are the least of our problems!

To be brutally honest, in my humble opinion the money that is wasted by "respected" scientists looking into such things would be better spent on feeding starving children and taking care of those unable to care for themselves.

All of that may be be possibilities, but I'm looking at the state of humanity right now, how people treat each other, how a portion of us insulate ourselves from the rest, and corelating with the nature of humanity to determine what might happen given the rich and powerful's chance to do it. It simple to understand: Would a person indulged in the pleasures and richness of a life filled with wealth dare to come down to the interactive level necessary to aid the poor and middle class, or would they rather choose, safely and secure in their wealth without obvious consequence to their decision, to remain insulated with the pleasures of their existence?
The easy part of understanding this is simply asking yourself...each of us asking ourselves...what we would do. We are no different from the richest, most elite person on Earth. We all have the same nature. The only difference is wealth.

Why will the rich always need the poor? You see, it's the whole purpose of this subject to point out that currently the rich need the poor and working class. But that is only because they have no alternative. Computers and robotics will change that and if it advances to the desired degree it likely will, the rich will have an uncomplaining, un-troublesome alternative to the poor and working class.

actually this isn't just about android, the same **** happens in forms about everything from TV series, movie stars to books and video card manufacturers, who knows.
What happens is whenever I make a post about something negative about whatever is discussed in the forum, everyone wants to kill me. I mean what the ****? Nothing is perfect okay? It’s a sad fact of life, learn to accept it?
It would seem to me that many people here tend to think their awesome magical super multitasking gigantic 6.99in. screen octa-core hyper-fast android phone with 35 home screens 126 gadgets, running a different LWP on each homescreen, customized to the last pixel, rooted even before being produced, quad-led flash and 82mp camera with 10x optical zoom and phase-detect autofocus and optical inferred, ultraviolet, x-ray mode, with photon-multiplying night vision, with built-in light saber, smartphone.

Not even the all-powerful all-knowing omnipotent omniscient Yahweh can reproduce, or even conceive its intricate design.
It’s just so sad whenever I post something going against such a belief without repeatedly expressing it was definitely caused by my own stupidity and inability to write my own operating system with machine language from the ground up blind folded one handed on a phone, debugging it, and installing it on the very same phone, without any other device or help. It seems that if I don’t do that, I am not allowed to say anything negative about android or people would try to kill me.
I know you have your explanations, you call it the “constructive criticism” standard. Something like, as I understand it, if I wanted to say something bad about android, I better have a solution for it. So if I don’t have a solution we should just sweep it under the rug and never mention it? Why is that? Cuz someone might get upset? I mean how pathetic? Like does your life’s sole purpose depend on the invincibility of the argument of your phone’s perfect design?
Now let me say something more serious. You shouldn’t find your confidence in your phone, or the brand of your motherboard, or the price of your watch, or the horsepower of your car, or the cup size of your girlfriend. Because all these, one day they won’t be there with you, they all diminish with time. So go find something more worthwhile, so you don’t get mad when people convince you that your phone isn’t perfect.

You make a thread titled "Android is not perfect" and don't give a single reason why it's not perfect. Instead you go insulting those who use the operating system (Which I would hardly call constructive criticism). Yes most of us realize that Android is not perfect. Software will never be perfect. There will always be better and more things to add. Now I agree with you in that some people take the specs of their phone way too seriously but that is not the majority of users.
P.S. It's not just Android people that will get mad if you start insulting. If you go to an Ubuntu forum and telling them that Linux is crap, they will yell at you. Same with an iPhone forum.
