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.

You should not be so quick to judge someone by what you read, Geek. You weren't there; you don't know. I concur with Fred; there is too much irreputable material being provided to the media to discern fact from fiction.
Fact: Michael Phelps drove drunk. Stupidly. Irresponsibly.
Fact: He will face a judge and be punished according to Maryland's laws, and the judge's discretion.
Fact: No one on here is saying it's okay to drink and drive if you're famous. That's ridiculous. We're saying (at least I am) that he's going to be punished according to state laws. It's stupid that everyone thinks they're entitled to step up and take a swing too. Like kicking an injured person. It is not up to us to judge him. Period. Unless one thinks it fair that we also publish one's mistakes in the newspaper and then judge one. Since I'm not that brave, I reserve the right to judge myself, and nobody else.
