Animal abuse is one of the tell-tale signs of a serial killer.

...that, and one of the tell-tale signs of a fuckwad, shit-brained cunt who deserves nothing less than castration.

I hate people who abuse animals.

...but I also hate little yappy dogs.

I'm just fucking with you guys I would never do that shit, hahaha.

Man, but on this story they're not having any luck last I heard, looks like there aren't many more survivors, I feel so bad. And fucking A, I watched a report last night on the news, Florida has appx: 230 Bridges that are BELOW half of what they NEED to be, and 40 of them are a 20/150 or below, that's fucking amazing.

Now this makes me afraid to drive on T-Rex around the Denver area. Could be a metropolitan disaster

I doubt bridges are going to start collapsing daily so keep your pants on.

Yeah, really. When something like this happens, people act like the probability of it happening again is huge. Like with the six flags ride thing. One went bad, they shut them all down.

The governer in mississippi or whatever was saying he's having every bridge in mississippi ordered to be checked out. Yes, since a bridge collapsed in Mississippi the likelyhood of another bridge collapsing there has skyrocketed.

Hahaha, true, but it's always fun to get skeptical afterwards... I'm not saying I'm NOT going to drive over bridges anymore, but now that one has happened in the US, it puts another perspective that I haven't thought about before into my head :confused:

Ugh, everyone takes everything too serious. T-Rex is brand fucking new, and the probability of it falling is 50%.

Willkillforfood 2007-08-05 04:04 AM

Actually, the probability of every bridge failing eventually is 100%.

Exactly.

People have to die before money gets spent on something like public safety.

The irritating part I heard is that they're going to reconstruct it after pulling all the pieces up and out of the water to figure out what went wrong with it. Talk about a bigger waste of funding. What's wrong with it is that the design was outdated, and not maintained well enough to keep supporting a load that heavy. Huge waste of time, money, and needless traffic rerouting compared to simply building a more modern bridge at the same location...

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-05 07:12 AM

House and Senate sent $120 million to repair it.

Vollstrecker 2007-08-06 12:02 AM

Of course they did, now that people died.
