So let me see if I understand what happened. Five Carleton University students are in a moving vehicle drunk as skunks and the University is going to hold a memorial for the three dead (but totally drunk) students. Isn't that like sending a message that its OK to drink until you are silly drunk then pile into a vehicle and endanger the city but in this case kill yourselves. THE driver was DRUNK people and 10 to 1 everyone else in that vehicle was also drunk. Going to University or College is not a free ticket to drunken orgy parties every night with beer booze and drugs flowing like water. These people were driving drunk and I see no reason to memorialize them in any way other than they were drunks.

I read about the story. Real that some young people (students) are just so damn silly. You would think they would used a taxi instead of endangering society. Fortunately they only killed themselves but it could have been worse.

Lets hope students everywhere learn from this terrible accident. Sorry snoopy but an accident happens when all is done before hand to prevent something. These kids could have taken a taxi but no they chose to drive and put society at risk. This was not an accident. |

CDN is right, when I was in University we always took a taxi when we went partying. If everyone chips in the fare is covered. Everyone of us understood to put some money away from the drinking money to cover the taxi. Only twice did we leave someone behind because they spent their taxi money on beer.
I hope todays students learn from this but I fear only a few will as todays youth think they are indestructible.

Today's youth out of control and no parents in sight. ... parents are there , but at 18 your no longer responsible for them , some are far from home for the 1st time and enjoy the freedom . It's hard to control them when your not there. Kids think there indestruckable , after all there young and have their whole life in front of them . Sadly some never make it . Hopefully reminders like this are wake-up calls that the future could end with a drink ...... |

These little POS CHILDREN are only poorly supervised, but not free. |
