once again, at the commons playground i was about to cross the street, i press the button and the signal goes off. i step to begin to cross. the car parked in front of me, zipped right past me. and then so did two other on coming cars.
a jogger sees this, and shakes his head.
if i were a little kid, would i be still alive, or would i be dead kid # 3 ?
what’s wrong with these idiots behind the wheel?
do they want us to die or what?

Walk with your keys in your hand. When they go through the crosswalk and nearly run you over, drag the key on the car as it zooms past. Wha are they going to do? Sue you in court? They admit their guilt that way and get fined .
Drivers in Halifax are the rudest pricks I ever did see. No regard for anyone but themselves. Halifax authorities don’t give a fuck either; $387.50 fine for killing someone in a crosswalk. People complain about drunk drivers. The sober assholes kill more people in accidents then drunks do. Police should hand out stiffer fines and penalties. Impose a stupid drivers fine or something like that.
Holy fuck, Halifax drivers are nothing compared to New York or New Delhi drivers. You wussies don’t know how easy you have it here.
In New York and New Delhi they are worse than here, how? Do they drive on the sidewalk to kill someone? Do they stop,get out and abuse the corpse? How do you get worse than killing someone? What is worse than dead ?I look forward to hearing the answer.
There are a lot of things worse than dead Scott, one of which is being a toad like you.What are you advocating drunk driving?
Did I say I was advocating for drunk driving. That was a stupid question, you moron. I was merely making the point that most accidents are caused by people that are stupid not drunk. You can’t even call most collisions accidents, because most of them are avoidable.Name a few things, in context with the conversation, that are worse than dead, . You are such a tool sometimes. Why do you waste peoples time with your worthless comments ?
He’s not wasting my time, actually, a lot of us think Floyd’s a funny fuck.
“In New York and New Delhi they are worse than here, how?”I don’t have experience with New York, but I’ve been to New Delhi and surrounding cities. They drive on the wrong side of the road, through masses of people, speed, cut off everyone possible. People on motorcycles slam into the back of cars. Our taxi driver had a fake police siren, which he used.”Do they drive on the sidewalk to kill someone? Do they stop,get out and abuse the corpse? How do you get worse than killing someone? What is worse than dead ?”And this is… what exactly? I think you’re confusing yourself. I stated how being a pedestrian in other cities is often much worst than here, and the constant complaining is laughable as best.I didn’t mention anything about killing people on sidewalks, or abusing corpses. I can only imagine the only way you came up with that is because you’re emotions are bottling up and you’re spewing irrelevant questions, trying to prove whatever point it is you think you have.”I look forward to hearing the answer.”That’s my answer, you happy? I’ll make a bet you’re not and you’ll come back with even more rediculas bullshit trying to argue whatever is it you’re arguing.
Not the word worthless, it is critical to the meaning of the statement. His last comment was worthless. It contributed nothing to the conversation. One would expect a comment like that from a troll, but not Floyd. Unless he is a troll.?.
I agree with Scott:People complain about drunk drivers. The sober assholes kill more people in accidents then drunks do. We should legalize drunk driving driving and criminalize being an asshole.Whatch you gonna do when they come for you.
My original comment was about drivers here. I was responding specifically to “Halifax drivers are nothing compared to New York or New Delhi drivers.” I addressed this portion of your comments. You may have implied something about pedestrians, but my reply was pointed to the drivers. I do not think you understand the meaning of arguing.
No Clue.. I drive and see this daily and I wonder how they passed the test. They should incorporate an I.Q. test with your driving test. Memorizing the book and regurgitating it during the written test doesn’t mean a person has common sense.
