I find it hard to feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to text and drive.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh hey cool, we're doing that thing where we judge whether people deserve to die for trivial offenses again!

[(Anonymous)]

They didn't say they deserved it. They said they didn't feel sorry for them. And why should you? Texting while driving can be as dangerous as driving drunk.

[(Anonymous)]

I am just going to say that I have never understood how people say that someone's death isn't worth feeling sorry about, and castigate them for doing the things that led to their death, while also saying that you 'don't think they deserved to die'

i have never understood that distinction at all

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's possible to feel empathy for someone while also thinking that they made poor choices and that those choices directly contributed to their death.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, exactly, I'm glad you agree with me.

[(Anonymous)]

Darwin is a harsh taskmaster.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

You know, normally I'd be with you -- I hate when people say someone "deserves to die" -- but texting while driving is hardly a "trivial offense". It's just as bad as driving while drunk (hell, perhaps even worse, since the people texting are sober and know exactly what they are doing).

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. It's not only yourself you're endangering, it's everyone else who's on the road with you. That is absolutely not trivial.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not saying it's good, I just think it's weird as hell to go to the places and the extremes that we go with shit like this

[(Anonymous)]

But you are saying it's trivial?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm saying I 'm not really in favor of the death penalty for murderers, so it's weird as fuck to me to say that people who text and drive deserve to die

[(Anonymous)]

Mmkay, that's reasonable. You might want to start out with that next time instead of describing a serious problem as 'trivial'.

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough, probably should have thought about the post for more than like a second instead of just coming off the top

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I don't think it's quite so simple as "those who text and drive deserve to die." It's more like, if people texted and drove and lived through it, of course they don't deserve to die. But if they texted and drove and died because of it, they quite literally brought it upon themselves and possibly brought it upon other people as well and therefore its hard for people like OP of the thread to feel sorry for them.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

I'm interested in knowing what you would consider a "non-trivial" offense.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah that was probably not the best word choice

I think I was thinking trivial in the context of "things that one could conceivably merit death for" but it wasn't the right word to use

[(Anonymous)]

If they only injure themselves then, yeah, I might feel sympathetic for them and hope they would take it as a harsh lesson learned. If they injure or kill innocent people because they couldn't put down their goddamn phone then I feel zero pity.

[(Anonymous)]

And you're doing the "excusing and enabling dangerous idiot behaviour that could kill not only the idiot but someone else" faux-morally superior stupidity. NOT a "trivial offence".

[(Anonymous)]

On behalf of the parents in my town whose kid was killed by a driving texter, FUCK YOU.

[(Anonymous)]

I do feel sorry for them, but I can feel sorry for practically anyone if I put my mind to it.

I'm also pissed as hell, because they are gambling with their own lives, their passengers' lives, and the lives of every driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, road worker, and anything else they go anywhere near.

[(Anonymous)]

This. My cousin is dead thanks to an asshole who thought it was ok to text and drive. THey swerved onto the wrong side of the road and hit her car head-on. The texter walked away with minor injuries, and my cousin never made it to the hospital.

So fuck anyone who texts and drives. Fuck them to hell.
