So do you think this driver should not be punished at all and should return to driving again and hit more people again and again?

who's to say he will? hit and run isnt the kind of thing you do multiple times unless it was either deliberate, impaired, or highly improbable but unfortunately nature had a dark sense of humor about.

or perhaps he just sucks at driving and had to bribe the dmv. which he most certainly should have been revoked license for. and fined out the wazoo. more than any traffic/parking violation ticket.

if the parents have enough money to pay their lawyers, it's their right to sue his ass of course.. but jail? heavens no. unless it was a deliberate attempt to kill them of course.

though i find my question 8 to be full of crap. response to a breakup? blame self? cry and move on? try to get them back?

why bother with any of those? in fact, i dont think i'd be a girlfriend-having kind of person.. my tulpae do just fine, and like it or not, their lives are tied to mine.

Come on, you have to be kidding me. Hit-and-run is a CRIME. If he truly felt sorry about what he did, why would he leave the scene and not at least stay there to try to help the victims or at least stay there so he could be identified as the person who hit them. If it was truly a minor accident that lead to the 3 deaths and he didn't flee, I could understand no charges for the guy (maybe), but who's to say he didn't speed or wasn't drunk and/or on drugs or texting while driving? The worst part of this is that he FLED after realizing he hit the girls, which is cowardly and disgusting. I'm sure he probably feels a little bad about it, but not enough to accept the responsibility for what he did.

He will be charged with 3 counts of vehicular manslaughter and 3 counts of hit-and-run I believe, but in some cases of severely negligent car accidents causing death in the state of California and in other states, the driver was charged with second-degree murder. I wouldn't feel sorry for this idiot driver if he was charged with 3 counts of second-degree murder (45 years to life; 15 years to life on each count), but it depends on the circumstances. If only prosecuted for 3 counts of vehicular manslaughter, it's probably 1-2 years, more or less. A guy in my city was texting and driving and killed two people and severely wounded a third person earlier this year and recently he was sentenced to one year of jail (6 months on good behavior), which many didn't think was enough punishment.

Yes we make mistakes, but some mistakes are so bad that jail is the proper punishment.

Put yourself in the victims' families' shoes.

i dunno, sometimes the horror outweighs all else. even the massive guilt.

and no, jail is too terrible a fate for anyone as the system is now.

you do realize that society is so against the concept of criminals' existence, that they care not what happens to them after they're locked away? hundreds die in there every year, because the guards are too damn incompetent and/or inhuman.

also, he who feels guilt and is arrested might become a worse monster than he already felt like once he's done some time and happens to survive. prison does horrible things to a person. body and mind.

and if they do happen to get out and manage to not slip into deeper criminal activity, their criminal record will likely keep them from ever getting a sufficient job to support themself ever again. welfare and whatnot end up paying for them.

plus tons of human rights are stripped from them forever if i recall correctly, no voting for one..

all things considered, i couldnt care less how the families feel if it means they'd wind up condemning another human being to a fate potentially worse than that which their kid's suffered because of it.

an eye for an eye and the world will be blind.

miss halcyonicfalconx maybe?

ha. as if.. i could never do anyone, let alone her. no courage to talk to people in person..

if anyone saw me posting in this thread and knew to associate my account with me when i came up, they'd probably freak out anyway.. far too forward and shallow a type of conversation..

not that they wouldnt if they hadnt seen me post here mind.. i dont believe myself to be a looker as far as society is concerned, even if to myself i look great..

on top of that, i cannot use proper hygiene so they'd practically vomit as soon as i entered the room..

oh my god, will people stop the senseless practice of manhunts for accidental crimes.. assuming it was an accident and not an actual attempt to do what happened..

people are torn up inside from guilt when they kill other people, even if it doesnt show. isnt that punishment enough?

if not, the guy might kill himself. would that be enough for you?

it's not like him being put away would bring the kids back, i think we can all agree..

the purpose of jail is to keep the most serious of offenders from doing it again, which makes it's existence a necessary evil until the day comes when they are all rehabilitated in a properly equipped psych ward.

but like all necessary evils, it is meant to be a temporary thing and not a permanent status quo..

Nobody decent is going to judge you based on your condition though. I just feel weird about how I feel, if that makes sense.

It probably doesn't.

I guess what I really was trying to say, in all seriousness, is that I don't feel grown up because I never had alot of fun in my youth and high school days.

i just keep specifying my condition as a force of habit, i dont really give a damn what people think of me.

Yeah, it was only for shock value..

seriously though, i find that the heart rate accelerates sufficiently naturally when under the stress of a challenging video game. donkey kong 64 had some race stages that i found particularly effective. especially those involving that beetle, and that mini car.

banjo -tooie also had canary mary, who through her "the computer is a cheating bastard" ai, was also incredibly adept at getting your heart to blast to it's limit when button mashing, even if controller breakingly frustrating..

Getting your heart pumping isn't really the same as exercise is it though? :P
If it was we would have soccer moms glued to their PC's playing survival horror games.

no we wouldnt, that's like saying cake is healthy because it has grain and dairy in it, and expecting a nutritionist to take you seriously..

not that i can talk of course... but i'm not exactly attempting to market this as a healthy, sufficiently excercising thing, just a way to get just enough out of it so that you can survive while at the same time doing nothing but indulging your hedonism.

heavy breathing and heart rate through the roof is excercise enough in that department, for a time at least.. so long as you eat properly..

since being an aspy is on the autism spectrum, though i'm hyperintelligent, yes, very much so i still am a child even at 21..

i am personality-wise the same age as all the teens round these parts... rebellious and whatnot..

habitwise i'm still a toddler, playing with toys and such, though i roleplay them in ways unconventional to that age as a result of the aforementioned teen self of mine..

school education-wise i'm a 2nd grader with a bit of 6-7th grade mixed in.. not very smart, but extremely wise. i would be smarter had the system done it's job and not tried to be a third parent figure.

however, regardless of age and development, as a nostlgic otaku, i probably will always have some kind of deep-seated connection with my childhood..

packaging stuff at paz de cristo in junior high, though it wasnt a real job.

i did get paid in baked goods though..

I was not a fat child.

it is the molesters who chase, not the regular pedos.

anyhow, if they keep the doors locked and live to their teens when it's okay in their own self-contained community to fap to hentai, that would make good excercise..

true. but since my only real "children" are tulpae, which i modeled the personalities off myself for, in my case, that's rather not so hard to predict what they'll choose..

not that they could go outside without my help if they wanted to, mind, since as tulpae, they cant leave my body. the most they could do would be fooling me into letting them exit a mind's eye vision of a door into the other room that is my subconscious.

yeah, i had issues with it as well, especially since i was running a 64 bit windows 7 home premium, which had compatibility issues if you had parental controls set up.. couldnt toggle the "run as 32 bit" option since it was grayed out..

never could comprehend dosbox beyond what the op did really though, primarily since my experience with regular dos was with the ms dos packaged with windows 95. all you had to do was either fire up your compy in ms dos mode, (which i found difficult but possible) or let your cd do all the work for you and run it like any other disk game (when applicable, which 90% of all games i ever bothered with were.)

my windows 7 long since bit the dust of course, and now i'm stuck with my mother's lameass vista, which is on it's last legs.. now i dont even bother with dos emulation, i find rgb classic games has most of what i'm looking for so it's kind of beyond moot.

to hell with all these individual sports comments, i say nuke the very espn building mid-brodcast..

no, hell no. i will not condemn my hypothetical children to such a fate as lacerated lungs and head trauma..

i *DO* want gays to have equal rights, i was saying it's republicans who don't. the guilt thing was refering to the criminals and terrorists, if i need specify. and i expect the government to eventually get to the point where, through self-sufficiency as a country, they can change the value of the dollar at will by power of fiat money.

that way, they wont have to take any additional money in order to have enough on hand already.

we cant of course, get there unless we become self-sufficient, but one thing at a time.

TL;DR Fuck libertarianism.

ha, good one.. the government doesnt need to intervene in business affairs, the people themselves do.

the time has come for civilians to learn to fend for themselves with greater efficiency and not depend on government, nor bitch about how expensive life is.

seriously, money is all people care about now days, while they take their own rights for granted.

ironically, democrats are more for the people then republicans as a result, since the republicans want the government's "protection from themselves"..

come on, have more faith in the humanity of criminals and terrorists and less in that of g-men people... they may not show it, but they feel guilt the same as you do.. and guilt can be punishment enough for some to change. for those who dont, there's mental healthcare.

meanwhile, the cops are practically massacring hundreds of unarmed, innocent mexican children and get off with a slap on the wrist, claiming it was self-defence..

libertarians at the very least have some slight measure of impartiality left.. most other parties either are too naive and think anything they do for the country will work (democrats), or too self-righteous (republicans, though i suspect some of them are probably naive as well)..

now, if there were a real party that truly were for small government AND people's rights, i would side with them, but as far as i can tell, there isnt. and that is why i'm registered as an independent, and usually vote either democrat or libertarian.

democrats steal your firearms and overemphasize education, republicans think that the only thing that needs fixing (which actually does need fixing) is the economy, and do the same as the democrats when it comes to education.

pro-life, gun control. anti-gay rights, fuck you all..

but i digress..
