When you’re dumb, ya gotta be tough.
Check out this list.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths
It’s overwhelmingly teenagers and 20-somethings. A couple older folk, but literally just a couple.
Here's a sad case from a few years ago in Utah. There were two sets of tracks. The girls were standing on one set as a train rolled by on the other. They didn't hear the train behind them.
Fraud.
Background check for cell phone owners.....
Please tell me it got 'em all.
Stupid should hurt. And, before the lecture about all life being sacred, I can list any number of criminally moronic democrats who the world won't miss.
It's a long list...
Dumb ways to die....
“Ask not for whom the Bell curves, it curves for thee…”
Makes for less demonrat voters.
Yep. It got them all. Two of them were pretty well diced up, and the other got tossed off the tracks and died a few days later of massive injuries. By all accounts, they were decent girls who liked to have fun together. I have seen other selfies of them doing normal and wholesome activities. But at least once, their idea of fun turned out to be a big mistake, and they paid the highest price for it. This isn’t something I would have done, because I have always had a respect and awe for the sheer might of a train. But I did my share of stupid things when I was a kid —nothing very extreme, but stupid enough— and if we all paid a high price for our stupidity, there would be a lot more of us mangled up or making an early exit. These girls were 14 and 15 years old. Who has consistantly good judgment, or even much good judgment at all, at that age? I didn’t.
And all life is sacred, even the lives of individuals I don’t like or approve of, or individuals who have managed muck things up for themselves. I am bound as a Christian to believe that.
My first inclination upon seeing that picture was to pray for those poor girls and their family members who loved them. Yes they were naive, and they suffered greatly for it. Every living adult has made stupid mistakes that could have resulted in their demise just as these poor young girls did.
However after reading your comments above, it is cleat that you are more in need of prayers and redemption than they are. The vindictive narcissism in your response exposes the thought of a true sociopath. All life is sacred, but I agree with you that not all life is of equal value. Yours is clearly worth less than those girls. I hope that you can see this and will repent of this evil you exhibit, but I doubt it will happen before you suffer from something truly horrible yourself.
I'll leave it at that an give you the last word. People like you aren't worth a conversation.
Well put. Also see my post #34.
There’s lots of YouTube footage of credulous Indians killing themselves, mostly on accident.
