If we use the logic that you shouldn't partake of a particular thing because it is harmful to your body (the Temple), then we will have to quit eating and drinking 98% of what we do now. Its all about excess. Drinking until you lose control, or to the point that you are easily influenced to do something that you normally wouldn't do is where the sin part comes in.

Bottom line: If you think its wrong, don't do it! If you think there's nothing wrong with it, then don't offend someone who believes otherwise by partaking in front of them!

If you are using the logic that beer is harmful to your body, which constitutes it being a sin, which I am not disagreeing with by any means, then shouldnt people quit drinking pop and eating Big Mac's, lord knows those things can be just as harmful to your health as anything else if not more harmful.

hehe true true...

He shot a man while under the influnce of alcohol. This isn't any different than driving the car to the 2 beer lunch and hitting someone. He should be up for manslaughter, this is our "moral" leadership? he should be volunteering to be tried.

One beer = influence of alcohol?

Cheney isn't exactly a small man.

Man, you're losing it. That's almost too funny.... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

He should have been tested for his alcohol level, and then if any shows he should be tried the same way. Any fool knows guns and drinking don't mix. But the saints go marching in....

The thing about it is when there is an automobile accident and alcohol is involved,9 times out of 10, the alcohol is the cause of the accident. In this case however alcohol was not the cause of the accident as best I can tell. I dont think 1 or 2 beers could possibly cause someone to be so incoherent that they would shoot somebody.

When you go bird hunting with mulitple people, each person has to keep a certain position and every person must know where every other person is at all times because you never know what direction you will be shooting in. My guess is either Cheny or the man that was shot was out of postion or was not aware that they were in the line of fire.

I have no law degree , but in order to be charged for manslaughter , doesn't one of the parties have to be dead ?
