yeah dis-sensitized for those who are not related to me nor matter in my life.
I didn't say I was a cold-hearted bastard who wouldn't flinch from tragedies that are related to me/ or care for.
I expect the same from others to not give a **** about ppl who they don't even know.
People say "R.I.P" when some random person that is a friend of a brother of a friend dies, but the real tragedy is when ppl say that just to relieve their own pain and suffering. 5 minutes later you are on the phone laughing your ass off as if nothing happen. Such is life.
G.T.R that reads as an e-threat when read out of context lol
Lots of holier-than-thous here all going to church on Sundays. Hate me or love me, this is my opinion on life and death; I don't like faking to feel sorry for someone I never knew when it doesn't really matter.
Driving is one of the last forms of natural selection unfortunately, if you look at it abstractly.
I've seen car accidents, and families affected by these kinds of things. Of course it's heart-wrenching when it's close to home. Some Saud's in the middle east being stupid? Natural selection. Standing on the outside of a hairpin at a rally race? Natural selection.
We take care of the weak. Heal the sick. Educate the stupid. But we cannot cure ignorance.
The sad part is the innocent by-standers. IMO if you die doing something stupid, you likely deserved to die. The child standing on the side-walk not so much.
With that being said, a lot of us have powerful cars, and are tempted to do stupid things more often than others. With power comes responsibility (pun intended).

Regardless of how we feel about the video, it is a good reminder that a simple little drive can turn tragic in a split second. We should always be on full attention when driving, no texting, no calling, no playing with knobs. Things can happen so quickly and unexpectedly.
On the other hand when we are pedestrians or cyclists we should also pay the same attention and respect to cars.
I hate bicyclists. They act like they rule the road, I've gotten my fair share of fingers when the retard decided to rush a corner and try to beat me turning a corner. One second there was noone there, the next, an angry bicyclist screaming at me. Yeah, die in a hole jackass.
