I am PISSED...  today it's relatively cool out so I thought I'd take the
Fabulous BeaterPorsche instead of my company car...  last time I drove
it (a couple weeks ago) I parked it on the side street rather than in
front of my house, as my neigbors were having some sort of get together
and there wasn't any parking in front of the house... well apparently
some rude a.s person (driving a fairly tall truck) ran into it and
crunched the rear fender in right above the rear tire...  FARK!  Called
ins. co, made my claim (and to think that I was thinking of going
liability only...) decided to try to drive it anyway, pulled out, nailed
second gear, heard horrible crunching noise from rear...  apparently car
has more suspension travel than it feels like it does from behind the
wheel :(

people SUCK.

would it have been so freakin' difficult to a) knock on the door b)
leave a note c) do ANYTHING about taking responsibility for one's own
actions?

Hey this is bushamerica where people do like their president and NEVER
take responsibility.  Just look at how bush has pushed the blame for
the new orleans effup onto that michael brown dood from FEMA.

You do, of course, realize that you are too stupid to be alive don't you?

Like you have *ANY* clue about responsibility. Or do you subscribe to
the concept of responsibility as demonstrated by your hero Ted
Kennedy?

Kennedy to Search Iraqi Rivers for WMD
by Scott Ott

(2003-01-21) -- Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy, D-MA, offered to help the U.N. weapons inspectors by personally searching the bottoms of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for canisters of gas or biological agents.

The Senator, who had some experience diving on a submerged metal object in 1969, said, "Each citizen must do what he can to support the effort to disarm Saddam. I'm going to see if I can get to the bottom of this thing...as it were. I'm hoping to come up with something...uh...again, as it were."

Sen. Kennedy declined to discuss the specifics of his previous diving experience.

When asked if Sentator Kennedy would consider a Presidential Nomination for the next election, Ted responded by stating "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it."

He's more responsible than boyfriend killer laura bush.  And speaking
of laura the lizard, i hope everyone saw that interview she gave the
other day about New Orleans.  She kept calling the hurricane
CORRINA.!!  hahaha.  What a clueless whore.

Last I heard, Laura never went home to let someone die t oget out of a
DUI charge.

Of course, leave it to you to a) politicize a thread that wasn't
political, b) be completely wrong, as usual and c) crosspost your
bullshit to a bunch of groups that don't give a flying f.ck about what
you have to say (well, actually, that would be all of them.)

  No, no ... this is 'liberal' moral-relativity America where
  people will KILL you for scratching their car, running over
  their cat or because your dog crapped on their lawn. MUCH
  safer to just flee the scene - and passing moral judgments
  on such behavior is just, well, fascist - right ?

I know someone who killed a guy for kicking his cat..

>    or because your dog crapped on their lawn.

Really?

Agree, but aren't these killings usually spur-of-the-moment
things? Unless the killer is on P or something. Leaving the
note would give the victim time to cool off, and realise
that insurance will fix it.

Really?  What if you carry liability only?

Hell, I'd kill the shithead who stole my bicycle if I could find him.  I'd try
to, anyway.

Ditto the hit-and-run a.shole who nearly killed my son on his
motorcycle last spring. I'd burn his house down with him in it.

A decent person would offer to pay regardless of their insurance.  I
had my door dinged in a parking lot by a senior citizen who immediately
apologized and offered me $100 to repair the tiny paint scratch.  Given
the honest of the moment I just let it go and spent $4.99 on some touch
up paint that looks flawless.

Most people aren't a.sholes, unless you break their sh.t then tell them
to go to hell.

Exactly!  It's an old car that I was considering selling anyway, if
someone had just knocked on the door and said "I hit your car" it could
have been settled amicably.  As it is if I ever find out who it is I'll
be tempted to smite them with vengeance and furious anger just on
principle (not to mention siccing my insurance company on their sorry
a.ses.)

Ad absurdum per aspera - 12 Sep 2005 05:02 GMT

Or maybe he had no insurance (subject of a lengthy thread down the hall
and to your left, can't miss it).

Or maybe he had his fingernails dug into the last "points" on his
driver's license and one more at-fault accident would knock it loose.
(Or had no license at all.)   The damage to the car was undoubtedly
over the financial threshold for a police report, and if you're already
playing things close to the edge, that might take you over.

Come to think of it, maybe he had other, nonfinancial, nonautomotive,
nontrivial reasons for really, really not wanting to bring official
attention upon himself.

Or maybe there was not even such a thin vestige of a good explanation
(not an excuse, but at least an explanation) -- maybe he was just too
freakin' rude to take responsibility for the consequences of his
actions.

Heck, maybe he goes through life like that in general, as some people
do; and whenever his misdeeds appear to have gone unwitnessed, he never
really thinks of any possibility besides hightailing it out of there.
Sorta like the guy who  uses up the last of the toilet paper and
neither replaces it nor leaves some indication, or who rather studiedly
fails to notice that his lunch exploded in the office microwave, only
at smashing-up-somebody-else's-Porsche scale.  

People...
