Not too cool, man. :rolleyes:  The kid wasn't skating through traffic or anything; he was just standing by the side of the road.  If anything, this is a really tragic accident.  Hell, just imagine how the driver feels, knowing that he wound up saving a cat at the cost of a teen's life.  Besides, if an animal is dumb enough to just waltz across the street, they deserve to be the next course at the Roadkill Cafe.

This sucks, really. :no: Like Mongoose said, it's tragic.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

no ones fault here.....just a tragic accident

the boy is dead and the driver will have to live with the feeling that he killed someone for the rest of his life. no one wins.

btw i know what you mean about the cats just waltzing across the street; everytime it happens to me i just hold down the horn until the cat ****s its pants

sounds like the cat planned the whole thing to me, excersicing his dominance over the human race. cats are so ****ing cool :D

I think killing someone is OK as long as they're stupid. Especially if they're stupid enough to skateboard in or around traffic.

But he didn't skate in traffic... he was on the side of the road.

If anything, the cat went in the middle of the road. Hit it...

If an animal wanders into the middle of the road, it's their fault if they get hit.  Humans are intrinsicly more valuable than animals, PETA notwithstanding.

Those of you treating this as a joke, stop it.  It was a tragic accident, and to congratulate the driver or make fun of the victim is extremely disrespectful.  Any other comments like that and the thread will be locked.

The same should be said to those of you saying the driver should have hit the cat. After you've lost a beloved family pet, then you can say things like that.

No, given the choice between hitting the "beloved family pet" and recklessly swerving off the road there's only one rational decision, even if no one actually gets hurt.  The pet can be replaced.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture to say that I probably would have hit the brakes.
