Also, people can value their lives at whatever they want, it's called life insurance . Otherwise I agree with insurance should punish more to recover costs.

New law.... Top speed of all cars should be 2.1 miles an hours! Think of all the lives that will be saved!

"The problem with this reasoning is that it avoids engaging with the issue at hand, and instead shifts attention to extreme hypotheticals. Because no proof is presented to show that such extreme hypotheticals will in fact occur, this fallacy has the form of an appeal to emotion fallacy by leveraging fear. In effect the argument at hand is unfairly tainted by unsubstantiated conjecture." The more prevalent issue is that rear visibility in the vast majority of cars is complete dog**** now, making the rear view mirror more of a decoration than anything. Couple that with numb steering feel that makes it so you can never really get a feel for how big your car is (or isn't) and you've got a recipe for a lot of ****ed-up cars that's comparatively cheap to fix. |

I would disagree with your last paragraph...declining usefullness of rear view mirrors is not a more prevalent issue than teaching your kids not to play behind a running car. I think your choice of words could be better. |

It happens thousands of times a year, and it's usually very young children, on the order of 2 or 3 years old. And they're usually not playing behind the car, but doing something nefarious like trying to say hi to mom or dad. |

Thousands of times a year we flatten kids
I hvae a 5 year old and an 11 month old. Both boys. They know never to be around a running car alone. EVER. My 11 month old is not an issue as he is not a functional Biped yet. And when my 5 year old is out playing, guess what I am watching him. When mommy comes home, guess what, he is not allowed to run up to a moving car to say hello. Your example is total BS. Where is the proof that kids get backed over THOUSANDS of times a year. I will wait right here while you aimlessly search or just ignore the request. We have called much less an OMG crisis in this country...but kids getting squashed by the THOUSANDS does not even make a headline. Interesting. Or was that just a made up number. |

Natural selection sucks and makes lots of people really really sad, but it's nature and she's a bitch. L2Accept.

kids and cars .org says 50 kids are injured a week in the US due to cars moving in reverse.
2 a week are fatal. While bad, hardly a crisis. Parenting and being aware of what is around you is the solution. |

Being a harsh realist who understands 1) luck plays a part and 2) humans don't matter to the universe and thus coming across as an ******* (though I'm really not) does not mean I'm not statistically better than your average human in terms of the things that matter most for surviving:
I'm more physically capable I'm more mentally capable I'm better looking All of which goes to say, from a natural selection standpoint, I'm more likely to survive. Emphasis on *likely*. |

Sorry, but being "nice" doesn't factor into survival, and backup cameras are fixing a non-real problem.

You must not be aware of what "average" looks like
And don't get me started, I've got plenty more "gems" where that one came from . There is no such thing as a serious/normal picture with me, and I plan to keep it that way, even through wedding pictures! Wife desires be damned! Last edited by WRXHillClimb; 01-07-2014 at 04:33 PM. |

Good to see you out of PP for a while, I knew you would show up...in fact I predicted it. If more people would teach their kids not to play around running cars then the issue goes away. The rear view mirror can be restored to its glorious place of usefullness and honor in the middle of the windshield. |

Indeed it is. Here's one that should turn Xan on.
Gotta love wool clothing getting accidentally washed. At least that accident is better than accidentally backing over a kid. I've still managed to avoid that one some how. I can't take credit for the pristine apartment room, unfortunately. That is my girlfriend's apartment before we moved in together. |
