    Not content with misquoting and falsifying something that was posted here ages ago you go and do it again. The driver in that incident (I was passenger) was NEVER asleep... if your going to take stalker notes and regurgitate stuff months after it was posted at least be accurate.....

    The new internet bullying laws prohibit me from fully expressing what I think of you and your postings. Not my monkey and not my circus so im done feeding the troll here. Don't confuse my further lack of interest or reply to anything you post here as any kind of agreement or admission of defat in the debate for the truth is self evident and I have better things to do with my time.

    This thread doesn't do that either. All it does is make you look like the callous fuckwit that you are.



    So you know for a fact that both parents were in fact leaving the 8-year old to supervise the dead 5-year old? You're sure that one parent, or both for that matter, weren't away from the property at the time of the accident? You're sure that another family member wasn't being tasked with supervising both children? Just because the Stuff reporter chose to focus on the speed limit doesn't preclude such possibilities, does it?



    The difference is that you're jumping to conclusions from very little information whilst I'd rather afford the parents the benefit of doubt in the absence of all of the facts.



    So does that make you compassionate, or spineless? I wonder.



    You're putting too much weight on what was written by a Stuff reporter. Have some dignity and at least wait for the Coroners Inquest before slating the parents who have just lost a child. It's not like the kid died of having cigarettes extinguished on her face or was beaten with a frying pan.



    Yeah, just what they need. Some jumped-up twat slagging them off on a motorcycle forum with fuck all facts. That should make them sharpen up, because the death of their child certainly won't do it.

    In case you missed it, here's another recent similar death. Maybe you'd like to start a thread to slag these parents off as well? Hate to think they'd be wrapped up in emotional cotton wool, eh?

    I don't have enough time nor care enough about what you think to go around in circles with you, so lets sum it up:

    I'm a cunt, so be it, for having a negative opinion and not victimizing parents and family in a news article that blame a speed zone that they had complained about (and were well aware of) in the past for the death of a 5 year old that had one week on a bike and was let ride on that road to go to a play.

    You disagree because you think I am speculating to much on a news article that may have inaccuracies (forgetting you might be wrong on it being in any way inaccurate).

    I'm not talking about if it is inaccurate. I started a thread on the facts in that article. If there is further articles with other evidence they will help form more of the picture.
    If you don't want to draw conclusions on it, don't.

    I chose to say I think it is disgusting a little girls loss of life can be blamed on such a thing.

    Anything else you read into that is you just reading into it and in no way reflects my views or opinions but rather your own (like saying I'm laughing at a death because I used a smiley face in the same thread? Bit fucking twisted to arrive at that conclusion and that was all your mind, not mine).

    Not even falling asleep and he couldn't stay on the road, well shit, that IS a better story

    Funny, it was exactly one hour between you giving me rep for my last post in this thread and this post I'm now quoting. Seems like you have plenty of time. In fact, what took you so long?

    Yeah, nah. Simply refraining from starting a thread titled "5 year old killed by parents stupidity" is not victimizing them. Nobody's asking you to send flowers or anything but to state that neither parent is a victim in this tragedy, with the (lack of) facts available through the media, is out of line.

    I never said anything about it being inaccurate, just incomplete. There's a bit of a difference, Spazz.

    There are fuck all facts in that article. If only you let that stop you.

    Cool, I won't. It would be nice though, if you're determined to draw conclusions make assumptions, that maybe you could keep them off the internet, for a few days at least, or just keep it between you and your "trucker mates".

    Well, one day you might be struck with a similar tragedy and it will be interesting to see what comes from your mouth in the hours and days following the event.

    I know it's a stretch for you, but please consider that there was probably a lot of other stuff that could have prevented this death and I for one don't doubt that both parents will be blaming themselves a hell of a lot more than any speed limit. That doesn't make anywhere as good a headline though, innit?

    I reckon you need to stay away from tabloid journalism. You might be less of an arsehole that way.

    My children have grown up
    But they did not survive because I was so clever....
    There is a certain amount of luck involved.
    Life is a daily lottery

    You only need ONE day of bad luck to wipe out all the good luck you had previously....

    So far I have been very fortunate ,for which I am very gratefull.

    I feel sorry for the family of this little girl ,
    And every other person that has suffered one of those days of extreme bad luck...

    Surely nothing normal people do in daily life warrents a death sentence
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    My personal experience with journalists led me to think that there were none among us who were more skilled at distorting the truth without actually telling a lie. I still think it may be so.

    However, you posted a link to a report on another tragic accident at Waitakaruru and I found that report to be surprisingly complete and balanced.

    A lesson in the dangers of generalisation perhaps.

    Thank you
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    as an ex-journo I would have to agree with that ..
