I find it very hard not to feel sympathy for anyone who dies an unnatural/accidental death and I think it was a completely fucked up thing to say. Simply because the act is immoral, illegal, or just plain risky doesn't mean death is a just punishment. I'd have more sympathy for the kids that were killed than I would for DEI if their friends stumbled upon his post and decided to send DEI to meet them. I mean, here we are talking about the tragedies associated and this guy says something like that?
"the deaths, etc as a result of street racing pale in comparison to daily traffic accidents. does that mean its safer than driving on the highway with the flow of traffic? no."
Does that mean that driving on the highway with the flow of traffic is safer? No. The given data is inconclusive. I truly wouldn't be surprised that some street racing situations were less risky than some "normal driving" conditions. Smoking cigarettes is more risky than street racing. Drinking alchohol will kill brain cells if not lead to further health issues depending on frequency and quantity. Does that stop you and I? Cause it's legal means it's ok?
Cost vs gains is exactly my point. Although I think racing for large sums of cash would lead to even more risk... I'm just not going to listen to a few people with hard-ons for a specific group try to convince me that I'm going to die or kill anyone else for that matter when I do a first and second gear pull and never even break 60mph. IMO they're doing nothing more than stirring up trouble on a forum where most people posting fall into their "bad bad person" category.
I'm not sure who that guy is, but he's not me
