Comment ordering someone to get sober is what doesn't work (Score 2) 330
The article you linked opened with Lindsay Lohan being court ordered visit a rehab.
Let me ask you this -
If she were ordered to visit a law school a couple times, do you think that would make her a lawyer? Of course not. So that means law schools don't work?
What if she were ordered to visit NASA? Would she become an astronaut? Probably not. I guess NASA doesn't work.
Ordering a person to visit a place doesn't cause them to change their lives.
Law school works - people who really want to be lawyers can go there, work hard, and become a lawyer. AA works the same - addicts who really want to be sober can go there, work hard, and become sober.
