First of all she is a drunk driver. She belongs in PRISON and not in rehab. I have no sympathy for bums like her who drive drunk. Drunk driving puts my life and every Americans life in danger. People who drive drunk should be locked up never to see the light of day again.

I don't think torture is needed. Nor is hanging appropriate. If anyone is doing any torturing it is her own self. She didn't kill anyone, that is good. However, I do feel a nice long stretch in prison would do her far more good than harm.

As far as the rehab is concerned, I assume it is alcohol rehab. Why must she go to the Betty Ford clinic ? Why does she not simply enroll in a less expensive rehab program of which there are many ?

Against the grain here a little probably, but I actually feel sorry for Lohan.

She's a woman with immense talent that got screwed by her upbringing. Those miserable excuses for parents exploited her when she was younger and set the dial to dysfunctional at an early age.

I'm not surprised she's out of money. She hasn't done anything of consequence in years. She always seems to have a posse.

I guess I have a soft spot for her, as she's about a month older than my daughter.

I feel nothing but anger and bitter contempt for such a person as Lohan. She put my life, and the lives of my family and friends in danger when she drove drunk. She obviously has no respect for human life. If she were merely an alcoholic and she didn't drive drunk I would have sympathy for her. But once a person drives drunk that crosses a line into a realm where I have no sympathy for the person.

What a waste.

She may be too far gone now to really resurrect her career or her image. If she doesn't take responsibility for her own life (including responsibility for DUI -- and taking the punishment for it) we're going to read her obit real soon... and it will not be good.

What scares me about this is that Little Miss Field Day wants to be a singer and an actress. I don't discourage her, but I fear that this is a path that she could head down. I think she's smart enough to know better, but things happen...

Absolutely correct. Alas, there are lots of other kids who have become just as fu*ked up by their parents pushing them to be ballet stars, singers, tennis prodigies, et cetera ad nauseum but did not have the talent or the time to garner the slice of "fame" that inflamed her asshole parents to guarantee the train wreck she has become.

To live a vicarious life through your child's educational attainments or career successes is perfectly normal and natural. We all want kids to do better and go farther than did we (or our parents, perhaps). This "Lohan" syndrome, however, has nothing whatever to do with the children's success -- it is entirely about the overarching greed of parents who really don't much give a damn about anything more than themselves.

Horseshit, Ron. The Lohan situation is WAY different than yours or mine. Children can't "take responsibilty if they aren't shown how to do so in the first place. Lohan obviously wasn't.

If you've set the proper direction, little Miss Field Day won't stray from the course. I suspect she won't. You need to trust your parental instincts better.

But that's the problem. She is not being punished for her DUI. A couple weeks at the "Betty Ford Country Club" is not punishment. Hard core prison time IS punishment. I have all the sympathy in the world for people with drug and alcohol addictions. I understand that such addictions are not anticipated. No addict ever imagined he/she will ever become one until it happens. As long as they take responsibility for their addictions I say give them all the help and support they need and understand that even after that help and support they may slip back. And that is the time where we need to give them all the more help and support. I have no problem with helping the addicted to survive in life.

But, where I draw the line is with DUI. Once you drive drunk my sympathy and support fades fast. I have no tolerance for drunk drivers. Perhaps she needs addiction rehab. By all means give it to her. But she also needs a good long stint in jail for the crime of DUI.. There are prisons that offer drug and alcohol detox and rehab. She can be punished and rehab'ed in one shot.

She is not being punished, period. Oh sure, she had a token jail term or two, and a visit to Betty Ford or three, but she really hasn't been punished, let alone learned her lesson.

I'm not asking you to be tolerant of drunk drivers. Heaven forbid. Sorry if I implied that.

I am saying that until and unless she grows up and takes responsibility -- and that includes accepting punishment, and I mean real punishment -- she will not change.

That her parents and other sycophants enabled and encouraged this bad behavior is and of itself bad (too put it mildly), but that is not an excuse. That's like blaming the candy store for your weight problem because they sell candy... they may have provided the opportunity, but you still ate the stuff. An adult ought to know better.

And now that she's broke, with no income in the forseeable future, and a career damaged and possibly ruined beyond repair (at least she's not at the Mel Gibson level -- yet), she'd better wise up and fast for her own sake. The sycophants will soon be gone if they're not already, and she'll have nothing. At best, we'll read about her as the next Randy Quaid (as in being arrested as a squatter with no place to go).

Right. But my main concern is her irresponsibility to society. If she wants to party and get drunk and party okay... its her life. But, once she gets behind the wheel all bets are off.

You're missing the point. She's obviously got issues, which need to be addressed, just like most people in the penal system. Locking them up without help accomplishes nothing.

And when her safety is at risk simply because of her celebrity status? Do we throw her to the wolves?

Not only would she be at risk, the distraction she would create would put others at risk too.

And I agree. We shouldn't be locking people up for petty drug crimes. As a matter of fact I am 100% in favor of legalization across the board. But what Lohan did is different. She drove a car drunk. That to me is a despicable act. By driving drunk she spat on my life, the life of my family, the lives of my friends, etc. By driving drunk she made the clear statement that the lives of others doesn't matter. When a lowlife drives drunk it is showing absolute disrespect for my life, your life and the lives of others. That is why I have absolutely NO sympathy for Lohan and I feel she deserves a long stretch in prison doing hard time. Had she merely used drugs or drank alcohol I would have no problem. But she drove drunk and that to me is the utmost disrespect anyone can show to society.

Had one of those a couple years back near where I work where a 17 year old girl plowed into the back of a semi at 50mph while texting. The semi was stopped at a red light. That intersection now carries a memorial sign to remember her by. She never knew what she hit, so to speak. I don't know why, but to me, that's even more sad than the DUI cases.

Hello.

Actually once you consider the fact that I ran around with a bunch of Latinos it all makes sense.
The "American" way of life makes no sense to me whatsoever.
It is not the fault of the average American GI, most simply followed orders.
But there is no question whatsoever that American service men were ordered to kill entire villages of people,
There is no question whatsoever that dioxin was sprayed over the Southern half in mass.
I may disagree with Jane Fonda on a lot of things but Vietnam is where I merge.
Knowing all of this I had to make a decision.
Listen the tricky dick or follow my heart.
This is one of the reasons I am so upset over the decision to enter the new Vietnam, Iraq.
I see Obama as the new Richard Millhouse Nixon, run on the platform of pull people out of Vietnam and not do it once in.

So, you got "everything ready" by fleeing to Canada two years before you would have been eligible for military service. Doesn't sound like your plans were thought out very well. Some things never change, eh?


When I hit 18 I did one year in the Mexican Army, nearly a joke as it is almost like the US national guard, but even less money. ;)
:roll: Amazingly enough, I don't believe you ever served in the Mexican Army.



Hello.

Actually once you consider the fact that I ran around with a bunch of Latinos it all makes sense.

It all makes sense when one considers the fact that you're a compulsive liar... and a very poor one at that.

I have no problem with military service in defense of the nation. But the Vietnam war as not. I doubt I would have gone to Canada. maybe I would have gone to Nam or maybe I would have conscientiously objected and served time.

The period in our history when the US Government demonstrated that it thought nothing of killing as many draft age men as they could for no good reason.

Hello.

And there are the key words, In Defense of the Nation.
Vietnam had nothing to do with defense and that was very clear.
Fact of the matter is that the Vietnam conflict was a Police Action and after it was over was called a war.
The POW-MIA thing is a classic example of what is wrong, there is nothing to bring back, no people, no bodies, nothing.
Jane Fonda is still running around, still hated by Viet Nam vets, and still makes one hell of a lot of money.
The Viet Nam conflict was somehow connected with Communism yet China is a Communist country.
Cuba is also a Communist country.

Go out and buy one. Quit being a cheap ham.

Geez. That's one thing I learned very quickly in Dallas. Tacos, burritos, and similar food items are quite popular and quite available. (Just try and get one without cheese, though).

You must be overlooking the bottom lines of Martin Marietta and Dow. Plenty good reason right there.
