I don't get it.
People run over an animal and post pictures for lulz and think the brain splatter pattern is hilarious because it resembles Jesus being raped by a dog, but the second some stupid kid embeds himself in a tree we're all supposed to cry and have a memorial service.
It seems pretty obvious to me that the kid was at fault. Did he deserve to die? I don't know. I don't really care. He did die. Big whoop. Maybe all the other idiot kids at his school will take a second to stop screwing each other in the back of the classroom and realize they have to adhere to some rules, like oh I don't know, safe driving practices.
Why do so many people get worked up about another person eating it? Who cares? There are more than enough people out there. Watching a bunch of them kill themselves every day just reminds me that I'm not a complete tard. Sorry if that makes me the Grinch or something.

Every young kid acts like a complete and total idiot at one point or another. That's what young kids do. I've said this multiple times already. Get it through your head already so I can stop rehashing this.
Haha. No. But that's all I'll say on. Wanna keep the thread on topic.
I'm actually against the death penalty 110%. I think life imprisonment is the proper punishment.

Sorry. The death penalty is no different from murder itself. If someone is locked up for life in a prison somewhere, they are no longer a threat to society. Had Hitler not committed suicide and had the allied forces captured him, if I were alive during that time, I'd prefer to see him get life imprisonment than death. As I've said, I'm against the death penalty 110%. In my mind, it's wrong.

To all of you who are sitting there behind your monitors judging this poor kid, and showing no sympathy I say to you, whoever is free of sin cast the first stone. Seriously, none of you have ever done anything stupid or wreckless behind the wheel of a car? You always drive you Z at the speed limit and obey all rules 100% of the time. Yeah right. Okay, the kid made a mistake and he paid the ultimate price...would you say the same and show no sympathy if it had been someone you know or even worse a relative?

If someone commits a crime where the death penalty is the common punishment, if they don't get the death penalty, they get life without parole. So no, they won't be released. As for people who "slip through the cracks" I'm not worried about that type of stuff. Those incidents are incredibly rare and even further far between. Plus, anyone who does manage to escape from prison are almost always caught within the following days of their escape.

I think all car manufactures should install system that if car loses control it has 12 gauge shotgun installed in wheel that fires at face level. Bet people would drive more carefully dont you think?

YES, WE'VE ALL DONE AT LEAST ONE DUMB THING IN OUR PAST!!!!!!!!
So what does that mean, exactly?? That because I did something stupid too, I should show remorse for this kid???
Uh, no. If I did what this kid did and died, then them's be the breaks, end of story, and no, I wouldn't want a pity party.

Quite frankly I think there should be different tiers of licenses thus lawful permission of driving performance cars would only be granted to actually trained people who will understand what they're getting into. My personal touch to such an idea is greater lenience on speeding and other moving violations for people with higher level licenses.

US needs to make the license test much harder, but once again, automobile corporations will not allow this.

I don't understand.
The kid was not the victim of someone else's actions and negligence.
He is not dead through the fault of another person.
The kid killed himself.
He put other people's lives in danger (not only the girl in the car, but if I read the article correctly, he slid through the yard of a house. Lucky no one who lived there was outside in the yard).
And because of his own reckless actions, he died.
The universe is in balance. Carry on . . .

We need to teach defensive driving, accident avoidance, adverse condition driving, car control...lots of things. I remember when I was in driver's ed and it started absolutely pouring down rain. We pulled over and our teach drank his coffee until it passed...
Why can't we have state-run tracks with skid pads and obstacle courses?
