They are both at fault and Nick should be in jail, but you shouldnt get into a car a race car when someone is drinking. It worked for me i know that. I never got into a car with a drunk. I rather walk.

I've said this before ad nauseum, as it's my personal philosophy--

it comes down to personal responsibility. you **** up, you pay the piper. look, we're all human beings (thanks, chris crocker)... we all make mistakes. some bigger than others. but, the only way you really get further in life is to own your mistakes like you own your successes.

and in nick's case, that's a hard pill to swallow. but, first, shouldn't have been drinking/driving. and beyond that bad decision, he was out RACING with a friend, an accident happened, and now his friend is basically a vegetable for life. if he was really a friend, you don't worry about your ****ing future after jail. you thank your lucky goddamned stars that it wasn't you and do everything you can to make it up to that family. even in private conversations, you don't demonize your supposed friend, regardless of his negative flaws.

how about this, nick--OWN YOUR MISTAKE. don't blame your friend--

crazy idea--maybe we could take nick's frontal lobe and give it to his friend, as obviously nick isn't using his (are any of the hogans using their brains?)
