I see the little crosses and think 'careful - bad shit has gone down here' and ride on.

am assuming that [since i've never seen any little white jewish magen dovids or any little white islamic crescents] it's only christians that die on the roads?

i agree hitcher, we need to make these people aware that they do'nt own this area, or should we be taxing or get them to pay rent, any way we will put the cross at the hospital hahaha under the bed on the floor.

Perhaps we only get Christian imports.

if you had been on the side of that road today at loosebruce and dss3's crash site ,

it was a very strong reminder of the worst that can happen

i do not see it as grieving i see it as not forgotting those you care about,

and if i come around a corner and see a cross i always have a moment of silence for that person as i go past and it reminds me what can happen, life is a gift.

as you were

Given this weekend's events I won't rise to the bait, other than to say I stand by my original post. Perhaps people should be more careful about the timeliness of old posts they resurrect...

I'm surprised this thread hasn't made PD yet! Come on mods, sort it out!

Agreed, on both the original and this post.
