What words would you use if someone gets heart or lung damage from it?

But not worth restricting everyone else's freedoms and destroying their quality of life over. Look at the surviving kin of the last motor vehicle fatality in the eyes and tell them that their loved one's life was simply not worth all the inconvenience of shutting down cars and roads.


I have to take care of my father “Frasier style” due to a car accident that damaged his spine, caused tissue death, and caused him to lose part of his large intestine over 15 years ago. Even though the car accident was long ago he has gotten worse over the last two years including massive digestive surgery since then.

Life is not black or white it is complicated with shades of grey. Stop psychological splitting (saying it is all or nothing) with you being an asshole, mister I am calling people pussies.
