bush_cheney2004 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Wasn't even draft eligible anymore by the time he started working for the government. A baby I can understand. Wonder how he got the other ones. He was saving it all up to be SecDef later. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
WWWTT Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Exactly. According to the International Hunter Education Association, hunters accidentally shoot more than 1,000 people in the United States and Canada every year. It's not as if hunting accidents are unheard of. I guess if hunting accidents happen numerous amounts of times some people will easily dismiss them. Is the same true about intentional murder or manslaughter with a firearm? I'm going to guess that more than 1,000 people are "intentionaly" shot every year in Canada and the US,why does not anyone easily brush this off? WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

WWWTT Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Cheney said he had one beer at lunch and he does have heart problems and probably taking medications for it so alcohol and medications usually don't mix. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/texas-cops-release-cheney-shooting-report Ya thats what he admited too!

Guest American Woman Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 Bush was an alcoholic. Known fact. Question is, did he recover? No. That's not a "known fact." Quote
bleeding heart Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 Bush was an alcoholic. Known fact. Question is, did he recover? Bush said that drinking used to be an issue for him...that's not unambiguously an "alcoholic." At any rate, it appears that he quit, so there's no issue by any standards. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington. All we had was Afghanistan to wave. On every other file we were offside. Eventually we came onside on Haiti, so we got another arrow in our quiver." --Bill Graham, Former Canadian Foreign Minister, 2007

Guest Manny Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 You got to admit it's great when a person comes out like that, someone who was once practically the most powerful person on the planet shows himself as an ordinary human being with human weakness, and uses it to inspire other people who need such help.

He says he "drank too much," he never says he was an alcoholic. In fact, he has said that he doesn't think he was. Sorry to shatter your world, but there's a difference between drinking too much and being an alcoholic. Quote
dre Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry to shatter your world, but there's a difference between drinking too much and being an alcoholic. Not really. You can drink too much on a given night without being an alcoholic but if you do it for a prolonged ammount of time the chances are you satisfy the clinical definition of alcoholism. It really doesnt take much. Just about anyone with a regular habit that drinks more than a couple of drinks per day or a dozen drinks per week would meet the criteria. Especially if they experience any kind of withdrawal symptoms or cravings if they try to stop. Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger

"Too much" probably means it was affecting his life in negative ways. When you drink so much that it's having a negative effect on your life. You're an alcoholic, whether you admit it or not. Quote

Guest American Woman Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Sure. Just make up whatever definition you would like and run with it. Talking to yourself again, are you? "Problem drinker" and "alcoholic" are two different things. Quote
