I almost can't believe that the passengers didn't even check on the guy.  And the driver didn't seem to care about their passengers or the guy they'd just hit.

They're still looking for the driver, who is a nurse.

So... People are stupid? We knew that already.

Heartless and stupid, that's humans for ya. Why wouldn't she get out and help if she was a NURSE? It's her profession to help people who need medical attention.  :bhead

Idiot.

That's an easy one.  She was driving and cause this incident therefore if she had stayed she would have had to take responsibility for her actions.

She didn't help because she didn't want to be accountable. 

As far as rap music goes:

well lets go back 70 years when millions of people died in war were those better times? or 100 years ago when lots of young people would die in stupid duels.

tell me which decade in the past 100 years were times better than now talking from a society point of view.

Turn of the century many died at birth.

Go out to a small old graveyard some time. Amazing stories to be found out there.

Youtube is the how the Internet answered the proverbial question "If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

That's stupid, it would make the same sound if there was or was not a person there or not. People may not be around to hear it but it still makes a sound.

It makes a vibration that requires a very intricate device to translate into sound..... an ear. :)

Yes... here we go out into the country and look for a hill... usually you can find a very old graveyard with headstones and such.

Don't take the 'tree/forest/sound' quote so literally, I'm implying it's a metaphor for how anything that didn't show existence at one point in time now exists because of the massive amounts of videos.

So basically, every tree that might fall in the forest is always seen.

Generally disease of some sort was involved. In that time folks gave birth at home with a neighbors wife attending to the birth.

Interesting too how many Woodsmen and Masonic stones there are.

Without an ear to translate the vibrations it'll just sound like this:

I completely agree.  It's not that the problems are happening more frequently - it's that more of it is being documented.  It's all about perception.

What has happened?  Nothing.  Well, maybe a small improvement.  We don't get to raid the village next door for their food and women as often as we used too, but I consider that an improvement  :rofl

Tell me, does everyone here know each and every neighbor? Back then they did.

Its all about me now. nobody cares about others and this video proves that.

So you're seriously saying that millions and millions of people dying for some abstract cause on smelly battlefields is better than 'not knowing each other'?  Consider this: with some of those battlefields, you could eliminate whole generations from small villages - so that way you solve the whole 'problem' of not knowing each other!

And anyway, you're wrong, and you almost proved yourself wrong, IMO.  The reason we're posting in this topic is because we do care, and I think we're far more representative of people as a whole than those two or three sweetheartbaggy people.

Back when my grandpappy was a boy, you could go to the zoo and see cute, cuddly animals, pet them, feed them, and everyone had fun.

Now a'days, these young animals are just out of control, and have no respect!
