And they were definately old enough? Were these kids schooled? Its a third world country. I can see if the kids were some sort of scholar for their area, and then yes, they should have known better.


And "They thought it would be fun to thumb their nose in the face of danger"?

Did you talk to these kids? Or are you psychic as to why people do what people do now?

No, but as the article said, these kids were in their late teens. I imagine they weren't mentally retarded since the article didn't point that out, so I think they knew what they were doing.

The motorist would still be at fault for not stopping.

Go find a kid in the street and plow him down, and see if you get off scott-free.

Once agin, you're wrong. If a kid runs in front of a moving car in a section that is not noted for crossing, ITS NOT THE DRIVER'S FAULT. Common sense realizes that a car moving at high speeds cannot stop on a dime whenever some idiot kid decides to run in the middle of a busy road. Maybe it is in Canada, but I doubt it.

Case in point: I working the door at my bar when a woman got hit by a car at night when she was trying to cross a major road in a non-crossing area. She was hit, and killed. I watched her die. It was her fault and the driver was never prosecuted. You can't blame someone for another person's deathwish.

Please explain. Your eloquent dissection of my post was just not enough, I must have more.

Here's the bottom line: My heart can only bleed so much. I feel bad for all those who dies and had their lives torn apart in hurricane Katrina. I feel for all the innocents that were killed during the bombing of Iraq and Afghanistan. I feel for all of those people who have been hurt by left-over land mines. I feel for everyone in the world who are dying because they don't have enough to eat or money/access to proper medications. I feel for all those who live under opressive regimes and are denied rights and freedoms that we take for granted. The list could go on and on...

Feel bad for couple idiots who thought it would be fun to knowingly play catch with an obvious explosive device? I'll leave that to all of you. I don't have the ****ing time...

The Professor has left the building.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
