-> Would you use your shirt for stopping someone from bleeding to death?
-> would be your property, and it probably would be ruined. Would you pl

There is a big diffrence between a 30 dollar shirt, and a couple of
thousand dollar car. If i cant get to work, then i'm not making money,
and if i'm not making money i'm screwed. Not to mention i'd still ahve
to pay for the damages done to my car, if there was anything left to be
fixed.
-> I saw part of a news story today about an overturned vehicle on the
-> Washington Beltway and a critically injured woman laying in the road.
-> rush hour traffic and nobody stopped to help her. Everyone was in too
-> a hurry to stop and help or even call for help. All of those folks wh

-> Military finally stopped and did everything he could to help her, kee

-> garbage off the road." I wonder if they were talking about the woman
-> This is a sickening report about the value of human life and the comp

-> a decent human being and stop to help a possibly dying person.
Well I might have stoped but if he/she was really bleeding badly, or
dead, i'd of been on my way, becuase A) you dont know if shes got aids
or hiv or not and geting her blood on you would infect you, and B)
maybe i could save her life, she'd sue me, if she died, her family
would sue me for some BS like 'not doing all i could to save her'.
Quite frankly in this world where everyone will sue everyone I'd be
better off driving away and geting that picture out of my mind. I may
call for an abulance and a police car, And even park my car infront of
her with my hazards on and set off a few flairs to warn people, but i
wouldnt actally give any aid to the injurded person.
-> I'm glad that you decided against a career in law enforcement. Your m

,
Actually right now i'm training to be an aircraft mechanic for
commercal air lines, so i must have some regard for human life. If to
take the time to besure that everything from the engines running
condition to the proper inflation in the wheels is all in order to keep
a few hundred ton aircraft full of people from crashing down in the
middle of main street.
