People make mistakes. It happens. And some people learn from their mistakes. It's why keyboards have "Backspace" and "Delete" keys. Even I'm prone to typos and I do catch most of them. Some get through, of course. It's not deliberate. :-)
Quote: I seem to recall (I think it was you) that said how you dislike apathy. Is that correct?
I've also mentioned that bad things happen even to good people.
It's about practicality. It's not my job to run around everywhere keeping people out of trouble. And, interestingly enough, we have people paid to do that already. If I spent all my time watching other people and protecting them from themselves and others then I'd truly have no life for myself, my family and my loved ones. I can only help people within my own immediate area.
I won't guess what your job is. But, if that's your job I commend you for it. I'm not being facetious or cynical for tone gets lost within these strings of text and pixels. It's a huge universe and bad things are bound to happen. For example I have to give props to anyone who chooses to be a police officer, fire fighter, EMT, etc.
Really. Picture a dolly running around protecting the world from one another. Think of it as paranoia as slapstick tragicomedy. Or, for something more basic, think of Activision's "Kaboom!". People, young and old, die or get hurt. Thousands each day. Sometimes through their own fault or no fault of their own. I wish that wasn't the case but that's how it is. It's not your fault or my fault for that. That's life.
I'm willing to give mature adults the nod to do what they like. If they want to put their offspring in harms' way then that's on them for kids don't know and it's the parents' job to teach them and keep them out of danger. Just common sense. Adults know the risks. Kids don't.
Do you think I care about what the Jackass crew does to themselves, for example? Do you? While it is a little late for Ryan Dunn I don't think they need saving.
I have no guilt over that because that would be a waste. Read into that what you like.
