The Like/Hate Thread

[Sage]

Jack, seriously, find a way to move the hell away from there.

I hate that a girl I went to school with (though was in no way close to) lost control of her car on a narrow treelined road and died from it during the rain. She was going faster than the road wants (though its stupidly marked 55 when it should be 45 due to all the deer and how curved it is, and its not even enforced) while passing someone, overcorrected after coming back and hitting the side of the road, boom, hit a tree 5 feet off the ground. She was 23 and had just begun a teaching career while also announcing her engagement. My bus driver was actually her dad.

Someone in the online articles comments said "Another life lost for a stupid reason" though and everyone of her friends and people that know her are getting up in arms about him being a rude dick that needs to keep his comments to themselves. Their argument is that "She couldn't have done anything to prevent this, God decided it was her time." That road is a double solid, why was she passing? I understand you have to speed up to pass, but that road isn't exactly the most forgiving one, especially to pass on. What if another car was coming? I have to agree that she died for a stupid reason. I'm not saying she's a stupid person, but she made a mistake, and unfortunately it cost her.

Wrong. It's not the speed limit's fault. She should have been driving within her ability. She drove beyond it and died for it. It sucks but it changes nothing.
