http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2008/11/24/25205_gold-coast-top-story.html The kids just stood there and had McDonald's dorpped off!
Better yet, just put them back in that WRX and light it on fire and push it off a cliff. Then we can have McDonalds dropped off for the crowd.
its called MTV Generation... admit it.. almost everyone on here is a crash gawker.. you slow down at accidents.. these guys just decided to have a meal to boot... (very poor taste IMO) but what else do you expoect from a generation that is raised to think anything and everything is ok, dont respect ANYONE, dont go out of your way to help your neighbor, etc etc.. the list is endless to why this generation is going to hell in a handbag... is this any worse then the bunch of TEENAGE GIRLS molesting elderly 'senile' patients and filming it here in Rochester.. AMERICA isnt much better... this is just the result of declining vlalues, respect and morals.. simple.. oh yeah and htose who are upset at the kid who crashed... he was HOONING.. ie street racing.... most people on here do it.. be thankful it wasnt you that KILLED someone!!
yeah i heard about this yesterday. Their reason was so that they could entertain themselves. What BS. Its hard to find the good in people/world sometimes when people do these thing.
Saying behavior like that is a symptomatic generational trait is a little over the top, don't you think? An unlicensed driver smashed an uregistered vehicle into a truck and killed a person and decided the appropriate response was to get out of their car, sit on the curb, and have some lunch. If we want to call that generational we could as easily blame it on their parent's generation for not teaching their kids enough for them to know that is so amazingly far from appropriate that it's mind-boggling. What the hell is wrong with all our parents raising us to think anything and everything is ok, to not respect anyone, to not go out of our way to help anyone, etc., etc.?
Most people especially the younger generation including people my age, have no guidelines they consider worthwhile to follow. Remove "One nation under God" and you have: Crooks, thieves, Rapist, Murder directly or indirectly (unborn, reckless driving, drug OD, Suicides, etc….) Yes, the parents need to raise there kids, but alot families are an absolute train reck, the kids are trained by public school systems and there piers. The parents and consequently the kids are indulged with what’s in it for me? …. Nothing then get screwed. Selfishness is not good its Evil and hopefully people who dislike these events DO things to prevent it every chance they get. God Bless.
Really? I didn't think you needed "god" to be a decent human being. The "Oh Religion" thread has sweeping generalizations about all religious people being whacked out crazies, and here we have the opposite--if you don't have God, you're either a "Crook, thief, Rapist, Murderer directly or indirectly (unborn, reckless driving, drug OD, Suicides, etc….)." Nice.
^ You right, You dont need to belive in God, but fact is people who have a faith in a higher power vs. people who believe in nothing, Have very different reasons for living and how they live. I respect your view, but I think history show having a faith in God normally allocates positive things like family structure, less drug and alcohol abuse, less violence in general and more care and help for other human beings. You can still be a good person and not believe in God I just don't think that it is easier. How does some keep themselves in check? Humans in generally lean toward evil more so than good because of the deception that sin seems easier then doing the right thing. Just like it easier to see your wrong and a crazy Atheist, it harder to say YES your right you don’t need to believe in God, but faith seems to help. -Michael
I don't believe those two words belong in the same sentence unless they are being contrasted. And you sir are beginning to offend me, but then I am a little more sensitive to people proselytizing than most others.
Before this is locked, I guess I'm wondering why the assumption is made that because one doesn't believe in (a) God, that they believe in nothing? My opinion (take it for what you will) is that there are plenty of things to believe in aside from a higher power--you can be spiritual without believing in a specific "spirit" etc. It's easy for me to sit back and take shots at those that do believe in one of the major religions--the conviction of the firm believer comes off (to me) as a young child clinging to a security blanket. "I don't know what's happening when YOU die, but I know where I'M going." If your parents raise you correctly, your moral compass shouldn't be so far out of alignment that you need to be told on a weekly basis by a religious leader how you should act. Crazy or not, I don't need faith to know not to rape, murder or steal--and faith in a religion responsible for atrocities including but not limited to the Crusades doesn't seem like it would help. Again, this is just me, and my opinions are worth whatever value you give them.
I was referring to the goons who ordered maccas and sat down to watch the cleanup.. not about the moron who crashed the car.... seeingf as this is what teh original reaction on this thread was about.. noit the kid driving but the kids ewating food at teh site,, and I think we are actually saying the same thing.. my reference to the generation thing stems form society not allowing you to spank your smart ass kids in fear they will be scarred for life etc etc.. hence the nop respect for others or authority etc
same kids - I think. At least, that's how I thought it read. It was the kids in the Subaru who crashed then while the surrounding neighbors helped assist the injured the driver & passengers sat there and ordered up some food. Did I read it wrong?
not sure.. to be honest I skimmed over the article.. I saw it was ont eh same streets I used to drive around on and clsoed the link...
reread it - yeah, it's totally the driver and passengers of that Subaru who didn't help but instead sat down, watched, and ordered food. That's why I was so appalled. There is something seriously wrong with that. And I was kinda just batting that point back at you cause its you. Though I can't assign behaviors to a whole generation.
Holy **** this thread is trainwreck. Religion, generational sterotypes. All we need is some racism and for someone to bring up Hitler for some real fun. I also believe these are the first on topic and serious posts I've never seen from fundoonz. Ever. Good job ole' buddy .
Faith in God may not be important to you but it is to me, as far as offending you, I'm telling you my opinion if you’re is different that is O.K. But we can agree this was unfortunate and we can both can try to be positive influences for other people whether it be a religion class I teach or a group of younger or Older friends we know. I think were on the same side
It must be nice to hide behind this shield. Let me open by stating that I am not going to confirm my religious stance here, but you're being offensive. Let's say, for example, that you walk up to an African American and tell him that your opinion is that he is lazy, an excellent dancer, jobless, and is a fan of fried chicken. Do you seriously expect not to get your ass kicked? Probably not, because you know you're making a prejudicial stereotype and you know that it's offensive. Why is it different to tell people that aren't religious that you think they all have broken moral compasses? Seriously, this is about the tragedy of a man who died, why the hell did you bring up religion? Also, Hitler. You're welcome, Winkle
Quote "You right, You dont need to belive in God" You Sir should try to connect the dots, You are saying Quote "African American and tell him that your opinion is that he is lazy, an excellent dancer, jobless, and is a fan of fried chicken." end Quote, So your saying that I think if you don't have morals or faith in God, you can’t be good? I never said that, I said not having a moral guide line leads to poor decisions, and you are much more likely to make morally bankrupt decisions. Also "if you have a strong faith more times then not you make much better decisions then if you don't have any Christen Values" you can quote me on that that, is this a prejudicial stereotype? NO, if you don't except that or, O.K. are willing to mock that, Know this, what is truthful and just is never popular with evil men. In my experience people holding a strong resentment for God or faith, deep down they have to admit they are doing something wrong themselves, or have experienced something traumatic like a death of a loved one. It is easier to stone the saint then to admit they are a sinner, God bless you I invite you to pray about this and anyone else who seems to feel offended by my view that “God is someone we need, he doesn’t need us.†I am praying for you and anyone else who holds some amount of resentment for faith and perceives it as childness or a Stereotype.
This is one of the things I take serious offense to - the implication that people with religion are more likely to be better people than those without. Or more closely to how you put it - that people without religion are much more likely to be morally bankrupt. And this I just shake my head in disappointment at. Really, those who don't believe in god are doing something wrong? And there's the proselytizing I love so much. :roll:
how did the crash occur? and 2nd.. what happened in Rochester with the elderly? what were they doing that was molest full?
Kids were street racing and from the pic it looks like they t-boned the truck at an intersection. Don't know anything about the Rochester deal, though.
I think you should have to take a road coarse before your allowed to drive cars over a certain horsepower. grant you.. this won't save you from stupidity...
