[quote name='guinaevere']I'm going to disagree with the consensus. I was a kid once upon a time, and did some amazingly stupid things myself. I still do amazingly stupid things. I'm willing to bet we all do stupid things that seem no big deal at the time. Who hasn't taken their eyes off the road while driving to fish for a cd or to make a call or something along those lines?
The kid is dead now and compassion for him is meaningless. But I do have compassion for his family. His own fault, I'm not in anyway saying it wasn't his own fault. But dear Lord, their son is dead. I also feel for the people on the ride at the time, because that's gotta be an extremely freaky feeling to have been on that when it occured, whether you saw anything or not.[/QUOTE]
I hear that. I did so many stupid, dangerous things when I was that age, it's not even funny. But I always drew the line at stunts and selfish behavior that put other people at risk. This kid ("bonehead"?) could very easily have injured any of those riders, but for once the karmic scales of justice placed the consequences for that kind of behavior on the perpetrator, not an innocent bystander. So ... my sense of justice has outpaced my compassion on this one, I guess.
[quote name='guinaevere']And kindly chill on the church people bashing. I'm sure its fine in the VS forum if you want to discuss how every one who believes in God is moronic. But not in on the rest of the boards.[/QUOTE]
Well done.
