Nate Nagel - 11 Sep 2005 14:53 GMT 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.

What a relief it is!
Phew!
Maybe it's ok to climb down off the wall now.

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."

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 ?

> or because your dog crapped on their lawn. Really?
> MUCH safer to just flee the scene - and passing moral > judgments on such behavior is just, well, fascist - right ? 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.

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

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.

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 > MUCH safer to just flee the scene 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...
