A Question...

Featured Replies

How does one accidentally kill a person?

 

You fall asleep at the wheel and hit somebody who's walking down the sidewalk.

It's a confusing question because it doesn't seem to disclose if the 'worse' is reflected by the result or the persons involved. If you're talking about the 'damage done' then it doesn't matter whether or not the act was intentional. But if you're asking which person is worse, then the answer is obviously the former, given the latter is really accidental.

But if you know you're tired then you should stop driving because then you are purposely putting others lives at risk, not an accident.

^^right, but what about someone having a heart attack at the wheel? You can't help it if you suffer from a heart attack when you're driving home and let's say you hit someone crossing the street... You can't help it, it's an accident.

 

 

But i also do agree that most accidents could be avoided if people wouldn't be involved in risky situations.

That's obviously not as bad as torturing animals, but the situation you presented of drunk driving and killing someone is different.

 

Your question is unclear.

Yea...how does one define "worse"?

 

Is it the guilt you feel afterward, the overall outcome of the events, or how frowned upon it is by society?

Again, it's not what the question is focusing on, drunk driving. And i guess it's the over all outcome of the situation and what you think about it...

stupid me voted second option but meant fourth

Hmmm... :thinking:

I think intentionally killing animals is worse. In the way I think of it anyhow;

If you got in a car accident and the person who crashed into you died, you can't do anything about it. Purposely shooting your dog, I believe would be worse because your doing something evil!!!!! :evil:

I think intentionally torturing animals is worse. They're just as important as people, so it is the same thing as intentionally torturing a person. :smug:

I accidentally chose accidentally killing a person. I mean the animals one.

 

Because intentionally torturing animals isn't an act, it's an illness, a lifestyle, if you are heartless enough to consciously think that it's fine to torture animals then you are just as much of a thread to humans.

 

If someone was to hit a button at a factory when someone puts their hand in the machine when they shouldn't, and they are killed by accident, then it's unfortunate, it's not at all a 'worse' or even 'wrong' action, it was just terribly unlucky for everyone.

 

But thats assuming the question is about a persons morals. And yes, its a silly question.
