Default Is there something in the water?

I know there are stupid things being done everywhere, but the amount of stupid things coming out of Victoria seems to be disproportionate.

Certainly makes you wonder doesn't it. How on earth could you put kids lives at risk like that? I might have missed a part of the story but were any of the kids 'her' kids?

What on earth was she doing with that many kids in the car? And how did she get them all up there in the first place?

Well lets see......

They think AFL is a sport
They voted in the federal election exactly opposite to the rest of Australia.
They have consistantly voted in state governments that financially rape then with more speed cameras than the rest of the country put together.
Underbelly was based there and the majority of those involved are still around living free and easy.
Almost every time you see a spectacular "media event" including this one it is happening there.

Nah, no evidence there at all..........

Heard on the radio that she was saying she would never drive again and she was so sorry over and over.... bit late isnt it?

How some people manage to blunder through life and even put their clothes on of a morning is beyond me.

Just seen her on the news. Absolute scrag-dog!

I'm sure this is the first time she has ever done anything like this and if she had got home without incident, she never would have done anything like this again.

When she was interviewed on TV she made mention that the other childrens parents would 'kill me' for her actions, followed by laughter.

Glad she can find some humor in it because most, including myself, are disgusted.

I think the topic title should be renamed to "IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE WINE?".

As soon as I posted this thread, I thought I might be under attack from the Victorians, though it was certainly not meant as an attack on them. I am glad to see that no one (yet) has taken it as such and are actually seeing the sheer sadness of this story on so many fronts.. I usually try to see the "miscreants" point of view in the big picture , but in this case I really cannot see that there is any social, economic,demographic excuse for putting your own and others own in this situation and blame it on any other thing in the world other than ones own being a "waste of a name"
Hell, I've been ****ed more times than I care to (or can) remember, but this sort of crap was never an option.
