Reply to comment by BlueberryPiano in A woman who got wasted at a Marilyn Manson concert blew up $15 million worth of property. She's suing the company that served her. by end_of_rainbow

Even down here in America its a risky business, one of my local bars had their liquor license revoked entirely due to over serving, after not one but two occasions of drunk patrons leaving their bar crashed their cars and died. Theres definitely a degree of responsibility

... in America.

Hey, fun thought. How about adults take responsibility for themselves? No one forced her into her car. Cabs are a thing.

I don't know if she has a license any longer, but I sure hope she retires before she gets it back.

Yeah, if I buy a case of beer, drink it all, drive around with my bike and take out my hammer and smash car windows with it, are the supermarket, bike store and hardware store responsible?

Maybe she has a license, but finding an insurance company will not be easy!

What about guns? Does have the seller or manufacturer any responsibility? So why the bar has?

Try reading this and ask yourself if it makes sense to a person reading it in English.

I think I misplaced "have". But why the down votes? :/

Read it aloud. It doesn't make sense as written. It's also being downvoted because it's an unrelated issue. Most arguments for manufacturer responsibility that I've seen revolve around advertising and creating a certain image.

I don’t get it. They’re adults and know their limits and not to drive drunk. The bar shouldn’t bare responsibility for that

There, there. Their they're there was their they're and not your they're.

I'm trying to teach you the correct spelling. I feel that that is meaningful. It's only going to help you grow in the future.

Its not that i misspelled, i used the wrong form because i wasn’t really putting much thought into it. I’m aware of the different forms of there, they’re, & their, which one is possessive which one is a contraction, etc. its just not that serious here.

Again, you contributed nothing but being a douche.

Who's resorting to calling names?
And I would argue that it matters everywhere. Just because you treat this as someplace that's casual doesn't mean everyone else does. Not only are you showing your level of intelligence, but you are also showing your level of empathy toward those who are trying to help you.

And yes, I was trying. It's clear you prefer a life of ignorance.

Yup, and theres a difference between ignorance, which means not knowing, and simply not giving a shit. Life is much easier when you don’t care about small trivial things like punctuation on a reddit forum, of all things lol
