this weekend in car accidents people keep dying in car accidents and nobody seems to notice or to even be worried about that. its absolutely ridiculous to die this way... just for imprudence... if 76 spanish people had died due to a bomb we would all have heard about it... but it was only 76 in car accidents this weekend. stupid way of dying...sad |
||||||||
|

Don't take this the wrong way mate but the Spanish drive like fuckin maniacs. And people drive round on scooters and bikes with no helmet, and sometimes, no clothing on their upper body. You guys have a death wish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yeah the Spanish are notoriously bad drivers...like the Italians, but this number of deaths in a weekend is common around the world. Cars are dangerous. People drink and drive and as a result people die. The roads are overcrowded as a result people die. Driving for some people is too stressful and as a result people die. On the otherhand it is effective as a means to contributing to population control. |

It's so funny, out of all the fears people have, I've never met someone who has a phobia of driving, yet it's one of the most dangerous things you will do in your life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally true but back to point. if 76 people had died due to a bomb you would have felt sad but when you read it was car accidents "only" then you felt even dissapointed... didnt you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, no I wouldn't - the bomb thingy I mean. People die all the time, and if you were to feel sad every time a human being died (or animal for that matter), you'd walk around like a depressed zombie 24/7. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its true ... 76 deaths in a weekend is just about ususal in any country of several millions population and the fact that we just see it normal is reall sad I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What the fuck are you trying to say about me mate? That I'm an unsympathetic bastard?! It is just as sad as a bomb going off. But less concentrated deaths don't quite focus one's sympathies as much. Poverty is an even bigger killer BTW, however banal. |
||||||||

I have a fear of looking at the ground going past at the side of a car,.. but that's only cause I jumped out of one and broke my leg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just ban all forms of motorised transport in Spain. Even the bus drivers are psychos on the road. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i like the traffic in spain and italy...they're very good in hard traffic, if we had that many cars here, where people are affraid of being hit the traffic would simply stuck. oh, and i think we're in the 2nd spot (right behind portugal) when it comes to deaths caused by car accidents - no wonder really, cos ppl in charge of traffic arrangements dont have a clue about driving... its sad... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YOU unsympathetic bastard :P How many people shed a tear for the millions who died in the Rhuandan genecide? And yet people cried themselfs dehydrated over 9/11...morals in this world are fucked up, so I took the decision to have none. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
talking about psychos; looking good there old chap :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
MY POINT EXACTLY how can 5000 us deaths be ANY MORE tragic than others??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead Americans have a monopoly on our sympathy. Is Portugal really number one Tolstoyed? My g/f is living out there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my sympathy, they have not! to some extent, they brough this on themselves, so don't come a knocking on my goddamn door when times get ruff! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its what they tell us...you better get her out of there :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, its true. I just looked it up. She ain't going back after Xmas! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my point: be careful with the car... there is no point in dying in a car... hard enough is life already |
||||||||
|

Swansea apparently used to be the number one city in the UK for joyriding. I think that's what inspired the council to install 10,000 new CCTV cameras around the place. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
whats wrong with your soulseek? :p |
||||||||
|
|

I'm in work :) I can get pOgO to put it on if you need summat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are we 2nd, are we 2nd???? nacmat...i guess you get to know that with experience...i used to drive like an idiot and had many accidents in the first 2 years, i havent caused one since then...luckly (but someone else crashed in me last friday heh) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know? Italy? I thought you lived in Slovenia? Anyway, its nothing to be proud of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no urgency really. dont worry just to finish with the only compilation plaid tracks I can wait. thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im from slovenia...and im very proud :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its fine to be proud of being a Slovenian but not to be 2nd worst for road deaths :o) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i very much agree with you nacmat, this troubles me too actually from time to time, it's just insane, it's so terrible to die so uselessly, nobody seems to care. and then here in holland we now have this holy war against smoking because 1000's of people supposedly die from passively smoking, that's just putting your head in the sand for real problem, im pretty pissed by it. Ã did stop smoking though, a bit, for myself though |
||||||||

haha, tell me about it...its almost like a russian roulette overe here |

76 ppl in one weekend? i just heard in the news that 500 swedish ppl have died in car accidents during the whole 2003.... which are the lowest since 1943 or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... and that was the lowest in the whole world per capita. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You bastards have decent public services and a good tax system too eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I wish spain goverment had sweden as a mocel to follow instead of the american model |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had two car accidents this week...how bout that :) luckly everyone was allright |
||||||||

You graduate from the Mr. Bean School of Driving? |

sadly, the swedish model is beginning to fall. and even more sadly, the swedish model is built on "keeping our mouth shut". |

In the past year 10 people have died within a radius of 2 miles of my house through car accidents. |
||||||||
|
|

If everybody stopped drinking, the world's car related deaths, vandalism, street fighting, glassings etc would all go down by a noticeable amount. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another beer mate? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and everyone would die of boredom... I feel sorry for people who don't drink, because waking up in the morning is the best they will feel all day An alcoholic is just someone who you don't like but drinks more than you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these 76 people who died...sure it wasnt some big couch accident or something that took up most of the deaths? I dont want to beleive all 76 people were in their cars alone, that would be too sad. I dont mean to contradict myself but- if a bomb killed 76 people that would be extra sad because those 76 people would be grouped together at the time, those people could have been targeted on purpose... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i havent had an accident for like 7 years before...and that was quite an achievement, especially regarding where i live the 1st one i had wasnt my fault, and the one i ha yesterday was mine - tho i couldnt prevent it, it was my fault by the book, but technically it wasnt :) |

http://www-tkn.ee.tu-berlin.de/~fitzek/TRACE/plakate/bean.j I found this pic of you in your car pg |

Has it always done that? Where if you do a big mad long string of characters with no space it puts it before the shit you actually wrote before it. I only noticed it the other day. |
||||||||
|
|

Its never happened to me before, until just now. I try to do links but they never work. I'm so dumb. |

<----phobia of driving, and riding in cars. |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would be more upset if it was a bomb because in all likelihood it would of been none of the bombed people's fault, whereas at least some of the car crash "victims" died of their own stupidity... Jar: Yep Swansea has been a car crime hotspot for years... :P |

i was in spain for a month this year in barcelona and jesus christ. it's like people aren't taught how to drive. those scooter people have got a death wish, driving like maniacs. i was told that the average was about 20 deaths (if not more, can't remember exactly) over a weekend just near barcelona. that's a way to high number... |
