real bad... but I laughed when I read your title and then the first line of the post...

worst part is...its real and that is sad...

see now you made me feel guilty...thx alot

 

yes you can laugh. Make a bunch of blonde jokes.

She was deaf, right? But not blind. She didnt hear the train but I'm sure she saw the tracks. You are deaf and you think walking on train tracks is a smart thing to do?

 

You ever stood on ground next to the tracks while a train whizzes by? Now imagine what it would feel like actually standing on the tracks (if she were). Surely she could have felt the vibrations to get out of the way in time. Besides, aren't deaf people more in tune with their other 4 senses anyway?

I dont think it's funny, I think it's real sad.

I agree. Nothing there to laugh about.

 

You have problems. Bet you would be lauging if that was a good friend of yours.

 

Wait,

Let's not turn this into a UC bashing thread. Ok, he has a different sense of humor then the rest of us. Maybe that is because he's from Colorado, I dunno, but he is cool, none the less.

 

i guess i am just as big an **** as you, i mean, i feel bad for laughing, more of a chuckle really, but what state is gonna vote for someone who lacks the common sense to look before crossing train tracks, thats stuff u learn as a child, train tracks, streets, u always gotta look both ways before crossin...

 

No lets....

What the heck is wrong with you...you sick...twisted...sociopath.

Man I say we tar and feather him....I'm mean what kind of nut thinks this is funny....I bet you got dropped on your head...you...

oh wait...I did laugh at first...

Yea good idea...leave him alone he is just misunderstood

 

uh she wasnt crossing them...she was walking on them....

 

My first thought when I read it, having been around some deaf people, was that it was possibly intentional. They are much more aware of what is around them and she would have felt the vibration. I don't know, just something I thought.

 

Come on guys; yea she was 18; it sucks. But ya'll laugh at the Darwin awards so what gives? As already stated; she was deaf and not smart enough to stay away from the tracks.

Note: I just have a hard time relating to anyone I dont know personally.

 

How bad am I for laughing at that?

 

Bad, really bad.
