Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

When you're on the road to hell, loosing money and going to jail will not turn you back.

She's 24. She's doomed.

I hope she gets it together, but I'm still putting $50 on that box.

Society lines up to pay for court-side seats for that kind of crap.

You really don't get it. The kid is a hard core, terminal alcoholic. She either comes to grips with this, or she'll die.

I realize explaining this to you Earth People is pointless, but I'll still try. Call me a crazy optimist.

I say Lohan reaches 30. It may not be pretty, though.

Hey Pcad,

When you spend the day at Heathrow, will you spend an hour or so reflecting upon our "special relationship" with the Limeys?

Not the point. The point is that at least society get something for making us listen to all the crap she gets herself into. I dont give a fig about what she does or doesnt do, makes it or doesnt. Her actions come from a belief that she is above it all. Laws mean nothing to her because they dont apply to her. When she can get away with whatever she wants where is the down side to her actions. The media has even made it a positive experience for her due to the free exposure she gets whenever she frocksup. Here's the answer, hit her where it counts for her the most. The wallet. Nope no jail time honey, but you do have to pay a $100,000 in fines, or you will go to jail. A couple of those I bet she starts flying right.

You are missing the point so completely it doesn't warrant a response, and yet here I am, responding.

It seems to me that you don't know any hard-core addicts. The only difference is this one is rich and famous. The poor and unknown act the same way. You can take away all of their money and their freedom and it won't necessarily change their behavior in the long-run. They have to make that journey themselves.

Not arguing your point at all. I couldn't agree more. But why should the public pay for all her bs. and not her. Like I said
She wont change until she has to. She has to make that decision for herself. But in the mean time why should taxes pay for all her screw ups. If you make it painful for her to continue her behavior then she will at least have to look at what she is doing. Threats of jail are a joke, she knows she isn't going to any frigging jail, at worst it will be a country club with a 12' fence.
All this stuff does is enable her behavior. I dont even blame her for her actions. This is how she was raised, by her parents and by society. Its positive reinforcement. I get arrested, I go to court, I get even more famous. Wheres the downside?
