I meant the existential thing as a joke, sorry. As far as I undertand it is that we are all alone, as individuals. We have relationships etc but every choce we make and everything we do is our choice and our reponsibility and no one else's. Hence 'existential despair', the inability to cope with the fact that we're alone.

well, I wouldn't despair about it. No problems with being alone. Loneliness, maybe, but let's not be pathetic.

jonesy .. thought as much :)
sartre's philosophy can be summed up as "no excuses."
that's the way to deal with the despair, or heidegger's anxiety (tho i shouldn't really be mixing thought as much as i am) .. these feelings are disclosive to us, in a very profound way -
Haven't heard the thing about being alone .. ? mmhhh.. oh well. ;)

I know, I was just saying that I usually drive faster than reflex was when he hit the dog (regardless of speed limits).
70mph also applies on dual carriage ways :)

You're a funny man Jonesey. I have just read all that stuff from before. I doff my hat in your general direction. Piss taking is a good way of keeping people in order rather than punishment. What you did before had me in stiches.
Cheers bubba.

Sorry, I meant alone as in we have responsibility for ourselves and no one else does. I apologise for my ignorant distortion. Its an area I'm weak on. I need to read more; I just wish I had more time to read. How I miss university.

In the ~UK its Illegal to run over a dog and NOT report it to the police. Regardless of whether you were able to avoid it, you SHOULD be ashamed if you didn't take the body in to your local police station .
If you killed MY dog I'd kill you . simple.
Cats are OK not to report. Selfish arrogant fuckers , cats.
Dogs that run out in front of you are probably just trying to be your friend. "Here I Am ! Look at me ! Will you be my friend ? " kind of thing.... bit naive really. SPLLAaaaaaatttTT !!!!!
FINAL BUDDHIST WORD ON THE MATTER: The karmic principle applies.... What goes around comes around. which means a nasty death in your next incarnation REFLEX . Om.

sure the dog doesn't deserve to die but then surely the responsiblity should fall on the owners? There's been instances of people being attacked round here because people have let them off their leash and they say 'yeah but it wouldn't harm anyone' yeah right..
and just for the record, cats rule!

Although you (may) have to report it, it isn't illegal to run over dogs or cats in the UK. Unless they are a "working animal", e.g. sheepdog, snifferdog, animal used in TV/movies etc. there is no fine either.

dogs should NOT be kept on leashes, b3n, you bumhole -- they shouldn't even be kept as pets, but i guess humans dig the power trip so much that even the peasants want a piece of the action

Ha ha, at a monkey sanctuary where my gf worked there was this guy who kept on wanting them to set the sanctuay's dog free.
I don't think dogs should be kept as pets either...

I only think they should be kept on leashes if people insist on having them....cats are much better, they get a substantial amount of freedom (at least my cat does)
And I certainly don't think dogs should be treated as domesticated (and I know my cat goes into killer mode at night)

I really had no choice, I was going the speed limit and paying attention too. I know it was dead, ofcourse - but I didnt go pick it all up? Gimme a break. So many dogs get run over on the hiways. Not trying to make what I did sound right or ok, it still was bad. But just not my fault.

Take responsibility for your actions. You killed a dog. Next time, try to avoid talking on the cellphone while driving (specially at 100), and wait untill you are stopped to spark your cigarette. These are rules that are not hard to follow.

no. im a good driver.
funkmaster: I think thats your problem, you assume too much, if you would have skimmed these posts for 20 seconds youd know other information, and not make an assumption.
if i hadnt had answered my phone, or lit my smoke and was STARING AT THE ROAD id still have hit the dog, theres no way... it came out too quickly. somtimes animals will run out 30 feet in front of you, 100 feet in front of you, why not 5 feet in front of you? Calculate that with going 100km/h and tell me if you could have gotten out of the way.
