MALIBU, Calif. - Mel Gibson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor drunken-driving charge Thursday and was sentenced to three years' probation, the district attorney's office said.Seems to me it's kind of odd to order people convicted of DUI's to attend AA meetings. Just because a person drives under the influence doesn't mean they are an alcoholic. Is the government saying that all persons convicted of a DUI should stop drinking entirely?
The judge ordered Gibson to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings five times a week for 4 1/2 months and three AA meetings per week for another 7 1/2 months.
And then, of course, the person goes to an AA meeting, where the AA cult convinces them they really are alcoholics, and that they are powerless to stop drinking, and that they need to turn their lives over to some higher power, or other such nonsense. Then, to top it off, they will convince them that if they ever drink again, their lives will instantly become a huge pile of shit. After all, people don't have any personal responsibility for their own drinking habits. It's all the "disease"'s fault.
If they're hot - a bunch of people start thinking about "13th stepping" them.
Just seems strange to me.. but I'm sure John will leap to the defense of AA, because it's not at all like that... uh huh..
They all simply lack dischiprin...

Tom, you are entitled to your own opinion about this.
However, this organization has helped millions of people recover, where 60+ years ago, they were put away in sanatariums.
Plus, only an alcoholic truly understands what being an alcoholic is like. Dischprin my ass.
