Street racing = mass tragedy

[gabosaurus]

I feel the Darwin Principle in effect again. A bunch of people gathered in the middle of a dark road to watch a street race at 3 p.m. When an unplanned vehicle comes on the scene.
I can see the lawyers salivating already.

good thread,

Just shows, the dumbing down of our society, and how boredom makes our young people chose stupid ways to have fun

One of the 'victims'/spectators was in his 60's. Face it, Darwin has a point.

You would hardly believe the stupidity in modern society.
Example: In Los Angeles last year, there was a fad called "ghost riding." It involved kids either hanging outside the window or on top of a moving vehicle.
Two teens died when the car they were riding on top of made a sudden shift in course. The father of one of the teens tried to sue Youtube for "popularizing" the fad. Then he tried to sue the auto maker for "making it easy for kids to ride on top of cars."

Yup, it's never the 'doers' fault. I'd spell it dewar's, but think that is a liquor?

You can spell it doers or dewers, depending upon how much you have had...
