    If it was my own brother, I'd of course feel remorse but also yes, I'd feel the same way. Texting while driving - exactly the same. If they were guaranteed only to kill themselves (or those stupid enough to get into a car with them) then it would be ok but if they are on the road drunk or texting they have the potential to take out some innoculous person.

    Please allow me to ask you the same question, but change places. How would YOU feel if your brother was the passenger, and was killed by an accident that could very well have been prevented?

    I'd be pissed naturally. Eventually I'd work through all five stages of grief. All I'm getting at is it's easy to pass judgement from 1000 miles away on the internet to someone you don't know in real life. I wanted to make it personal so you might be able to empathize with Bam seen here :

    And I wanted to make it personal so you could sympathize with the family of someone killed by a drunk driver speeding on a dark highway. Two lives needlessly ended by a stupid act.

    Ryan Dunn was 2X the legal limit when he crashed doing 130 mph. If it was my friend or brother he would still get no sympathy from me just anger for his dumbass actions. My opinions don't change regardless of the parties involved because Stupid is as Stupid Does. When you make adult mistakes you pay adult prices.Anyway............ Is it me or does Bam seems real fake(more so than normal) in that clip.

    You've definitely got a point. It's hard to know what's in his head but the fact that he talks about himself probably more than his friend doesn't sit well.

    Do we know for sure whether or not he was drunk? And, too, who was the passenger that died?
    That's what I loathe about celeb fixation. We personalize people. I mean, my sympathy is with the passenger's friends and family.

    So what does that have to do Bam's performance?

    It certainly looks as if he had some drink on board, then went out behind the wheel of a fast car and drove at high speed.

    Even nice guys can be stupid sometimes. If you behave like that, what do you think's going to happen?

    I just hope that some of the younger generation who watched the movies, and might have gotten the impression that risk taking is fun, and that you won't really come to any harm if you take chances with your life, and other people's, will now realise that sometimes your luck can just run out. And when it does, you don't necessarily get any warning. It's just all over. If you drink and drive, and drive fast too, then nothing good's going to happen. Nothing. The best you can hope for is that you don't kill anyone else as you risk getting torn apart, or burning to death.
