#2 Slowly but surely, we are becoming societies in which we bear not the slightest responsibility for the consequences to us of our own carelessness, impulsiveness, irresponsibility or stupidity, but we are somehow magically accountable for the consequences to others of their own stupid acts.

I can't imagine anything more sure to drive us mad.

#4 I think this is probably more a matter that a 20 year old paraplegic has high expenses and is just looking for a way to cover them. Somebody has to pay to support him because he can't support himself.

#6 Life's tough, ain't it? He could afford to toss himself off a high bridge into low water.

No matter how much money he gets, it's not going to add a digit to his IQ.

#7 I had a high school buddy who was cliff diving(short - like 20' high) into a pond, and missed the deep part. He had a nice funeral, and nobody got rich. Twas his own f*&kin fault

#8 The solution to this is very simple. Sentence anyone caught diving off to death, fine them $500,000 and have the signs say that violators will be shot on sight. After the first 20 morons get shot, it'll stop. And humanity's average IQ will go up a fraction of a percent.

#9 why fine or shoot them? - let them be - no compensation though
