When I was 12, I watched a redneck in a pickup truck try to race the light rail downtown and cut across the road in front of it, only to get T-boned by the railcar against a nearby station. It was the middle of the day and the guy was definitely sober.
People in the U.S. are simply constructed differently, and as a result I think are unfortunately immune to a lot of the subtle forces that generally help to improve safety in other civilized societies.
- jibal 7mo agoPeople? You mentioned one person (who won a Darwin Award--hopefully he hadn't already bred). P.S. As for the absurd response, the assertion was > People in the U.S. are simply constructed differently and a handwaving reference to an intercity train system from someone who can't even be bothered to make any sort of argument does not establish the point.
