Due to the lengthy discussions about the Phelps situation, let's make this one short and sweet!
What's your opinion?
1. Don't give a ****.
2. Phelps is just another kid... kids do stupid things.
3. Phelps should learn from this and speak to kids about drunk driving.
4. Phelps should be prosected to the fullest extent and lose sponsorships.
5. Undecided.

Once again I agree with Steph. What he did was wrong (I don't think anyone is agruing that), immature because all kids know better, and really stupid. But the fact that he stepped up to the plate and "took charge of the situation" I think is a responsible action. When Bill Clinton was being interrogated for having an affair, it took lying to Congress, extreme media pressure, and many other factors for him to finally own up to the fact that he did something wrong. So I think that by Michael admitting flat out he made an error, he took the higher road. Rather than try to dodge the situation or blame it on other factors, he came right out and said it was all my fault.

Just so we're clear and there's no debate...I'm comparing how Clinton and Phelps handled their situations not the situation that got them there.
