Stupid Stupid Stupid

“Just got word, as I am an Emt in the area, that 3 student were killed today in a car accident! They were all 9th graders and the driver was a senior in his last day and he did not die! Rumors, take them for what they are, is the he was drinking and speed and booze were involved. When will they ever learn. Three 9th graders funerals, what a way to end a year. Sorry for venting but frustrated, thanks for listening!

“Relax, have a drink.”

“heard this story way too many times, man.


hate it all the same every time.”

“You dont have kids do you????

Or maybe this your way to cope...

Pulled to many dead, drunk, bodies from cars to relax

jack.canine”

“last post meant for Miss Anee Thorpe”

“Speed kills!”

“jackcanine, sorry to hear about that accident. This stuff is way too common, kids and cars (and booze) are a really bad combo.”

“Your both right Buddur and Birch. I have to admit I read this all the time and dont react but our best friends taught 2 of these kids for conformation class and knew them well so it hits home. I mean 9th grade, what the hell is that, 12 or 13? What a waste.

“Truly sorry, Jack. Vent all you want. It helps sometimes. You're a good hearted guy and this can't be anything but painful for you, the families and those that were close to them...”

“It happens here too (Wisconsin), and again this year. Some things just never seem to change. It gives me a heavy heart just thinking about it.”

“I can't imagine losing a child..........way too sad......”

“We lost a kid in our high school class to drag racing down the local boulevard late at night. Slipped in a curve and wrapped his truck around a telephone pole at about 80 mph. Not sure if alcohol was involved, but in order to do something like that, I'd figure you'd have to be doped up on something...”

“a good friend of mine (and 2 pasengers) tried to beat a train a a RR crossing my senior year....the car was thown over 100 feet. the dude could draw pictures like you wouldn't believe. very talented artist.

3 lives wasted”

“That's awful news.. I'm sorry to hear about it. Seems like it happens more and more each year. Sometime all too similar happened here a couple weeks ago. The drunk driver never gets killed as they're the most relaxed ones during the accident due to alcohol being a sedative and don't tense up in the wreck... bones don't break as easily, etc.

What a tragedy.”

“sometime = something”

“Being one of four that did that,and the only one here-I hear you. my love for life is as sold as stone.”

“I hear you salebored, a long time ago I was a passenger in one of these crashes that claimed a life and seriously hurt another. Looks like SUV and speed so far they are downplaying the possible booze angle but I think they should let the kids know if this was involved!! Here is the link...

“Evidently you think the kids should be aware that alcohol was involved even if it wasn't.”

“M.A.T. , aren't you the least bit worried that one of these days some normally kind hearted hiker will plant their lekki in the back of your head ?

jack, i could never do your job.”

“I have been to far too many funerals of students and former students. You never get used to it - especially at a small, rural high school.

Luckily (not luckily, but due to education, tough, very tough, laws and enforcement, as well as preventive measures) the tragic numbers are 'way down and these incidents have become rare.

Of course, one is too many.”

“It amazes me how lenient the states is on drink driving. Most people I've come across here have driven when over a safe limit. Ok, you wouldn't describe them as drunk most of the time, but certainly they've drunk enough where their responses will be affected.”

Not the least bit, in fact I have gone out of my way to accomodate the people on this board who have threatened me with physical violence.

No takers so far.

Are you threatening me?”

“LOL. no, i'm not threatening you.

i'm a peace luvin' kinda guy :)

i meant exactly what i said. there was no hidden message.

i was wondering that since you seem to go out of your way to insult as many people as you can on a daily basis - if the thought had ever occured to you, that one day you might push someone too far.”

“Unfortunately, there are those in the world who have no compassion for anything out of their reach.”

“Sacco, I did not insult anyone.

Chili, Lack of compassion is no reason to threaten someone with physical violence is it?

Oops, I am asking the wrong person.”

“M.A.T., I never leaned on you for what you said. Don't go there with that. I, sometimes alone, have always advocated people can say what they want.

I leaned on you for saying something, then dancing all around the issue when called on it.”

“Anytime chili.”

“Bacpac when are you going to realize you aren't impressing anyone?

As far as wrecks and teenagers go, it's been my experience that speed is almost always a contributing factor, even when there isn't alcohol involved. It's not that speed kills necessarily, it just seems that teen drivers either haven't got the experience to handle the speed, or they aren't aware of what the car they are driving can or cannot handle.”

“What is your beef stickman?

Threads about people getting killed in car wrecks or dying of natural causes bore me. It is not interesting and the the emotional drama being imparted offends me.

Add to that the fact the original post may or may not be completely factual.”

“i know at least 5 people that died in a car accident, be it their fault or others. I was in my own accident once, lucky I survived, was my fault, no alcohol involved though. Just being stupid. that's not an excuse though, I could've killed others back then. thank god I was the only car around, and had no passengers.

I know one person that killed an infant because he didn't look in the back mirror while backing out of a constration site. (don't ask me what the child was doing there, but that showes you that you never know)


One thing I NEVER do is drive after I had a couple drinks.

Heard they really enforce the seatbelt law here in SC. $1200 fine if your kids are nut buckelt in. $80 or so if an adult is not buckelt in. I am all for it.”

“M.A.T. So don't read it.”

“Bacpac if the thread is so boring why do you feel the need to make any comments at all, much less bag on the original poster? That's my beef. It gets old seeing your disdain for everything all the time.”

“lumberzac, Thanks, but I prefer to reply. If that bothers you, don't read it.”

“Stickman, same response that I just gave lumberzac.”

“Sacco, I did not insult anyone.

that should go into the "classic TT lines" thread.

you really don't think you insult people constantly ?”

“I have not insulted anyone on this thread.

Nor do I do it constantly.”

“It would take more than you to bother me bacpac. Back to my original point--you aren't impressing anyone.


Now see if you can twist that into some sort of threat, since that's what you apparently thrive on.”

ummm. you should scroll back to the top.

your very first post.”

“Stickman your perceptions are your own. They don't have much to do with me. There have been a few people specifically post that they were going to kick my @ss. (Someone can look it up)

They did not infer it, they said they were going to physically beat me up. The said it like the meant it. Some said they would use weapons. That is a threat.

I never theatened anyone. (Look it up). So to say that I thrive on threats is pattenly false, though there are people posting here who do.

Why don't you call them out :-)”

“Sacco, If telling someone to relax and have a drink is an insult then we are in deep doo doo.”

“Dewd's
It is real easy as far as MAT/BacPac goes! In the imortal words of Stovestomper "CLICK"!
I have ignored him/her/it for awhile now and will continue to do so. It's simple: -)

As for the the kids in the car, Very very sad. bless their souls.
Jackcanine, I'm with sacco, I could never do your job.”

within the context of this thread, at the time you posted it was an insult.

whether you intended it to be or not, it was an insult.

J.C.s reaction proved that.

but you already knew all of this.

you also know exactly what stickman is talking about and you know why people have posted that they would like to seriously injure you with or without weapons.

i'd bet alot of money that there are even a couple of lurkers who would love to meet you in a dark alley.

you know all this.

that's why it amazes me that you act the way that you do.



and no, before you ask, i'm not threatening you, and no, i personally do not wish you any harm.”

“violence breeds violence”

yes, but who can resist the temptation of the little red 'x' ? surely not i.”

“Usually happens when school is about to end.

A few years ago, a 30 something year old guy (son of a millionaire)picked up 3 teenagers and gave them a spin in his 911 Carrera. He had 2 radar detectors in his car. They told him to slow down, and he said not to worry because he had experience in racing.

Anyways one of the tires blew out on the Laurentiens highway...the car was going at 260+ kph. The only suvivor was the girl in the back...she popped out of the rear window when the car bounced on the grass.....she was very lucky to have hit grass instead of asphalt. The car smashed through 3 wooden lightpoles.

Driver was drunk too.”

“sacco, You have given this way more thought than it deserves. I don't agree with your synopsis, and I don't think people are out to get me. Even the ones who said they would hurt me, did not care to follow through with their threats once I made myself available.”

“face it,,,bacpac is such a stud that people tremble in his shadow...”

“some people don't hide behind a computer screen”

“chili, I don't threaten to beat people up. If I did I would be man enough to back it up.

Then again, I am man enough not to make Junior High threats in the first place. You would come across with a little more credibility if you hadn't already posted that you were going to beat me up. Good grief, I can't even believe we are having this discussion.”
