funny thing dred, and im not berating you i promise dude, but having had one friend killed aged 20 in a wreck, my friend who ive known since before school's aunt and baby cousin killed head on with a lorry, and having been in a few minor crashes myself...... stoping and rubber necking loses its appeal. i dont need to see any more twisted flesh and agony.
about a few years ago a man driving a van swerved just outside my house and hit a girl on a scooter. there was bloody broken window glass all over the road, the girl her self lying with a multiply broken back and neck moaning ' it hurts...it hurts' quite low a patheticaly. she died a few days later.
i'm not hijacking the thread with some moral high ground gheyness, for me i can still easily deal with what i have seen and felt of road carnage.
just saying that your comments may be painfull for some people to read.
sorry for your friend.
Couple years ago my best friend since I was 9 was partially decapitated and dismembered after being struck by a car.
basically the top of his head was sheared off and the contents emptied over the entire inside of the car
I've seen the pictures of the scene so I understand the gore and carnage.
So I can relate
But that was not the point of the words I put in this thread.
The point was human nature.
No matter how bad the accident people will slow down to look anyway.
Just about anything put down in any thread here runs the possibility of reminding someone of a painful event or events.
I could mention fishing and there could very well be someone who fell off a boat and drowned while fishing. Or any host of any number of things.
While we shouldnt intentionally bring up a subject to knowingly try to hurt someone
One thing we cant and shouldnt do is not speak of something on the off chance it might remind someone of some painfull event.
Or we would never say anything.
On the other hand. And Im not trying to berate you either as I well know your pain
We must also know how to if not move on and put our pain behind us.
