My condolences to this young girls family. A quad is a motor vehicle and before being to operate one, even on private land, should require an age restriction per c.c. and an operators certification. I have a quad here which I use for yard work. Snow removal & pulling stumps etc. I don't take it out and go 'quadding' yet even though it's only used on flat ground, it still is possible to roll it over. I don't see why it isn't mandated to have a roll bar on all quads. I'm looking at doing that for mine.

It was her time!? She's fucking 12.
If there is a god, he doesn't work in mysterious ways, he's just an asshole. From now on I guess I'm gonna be a huge dick to everyone and claim I work in mysterious ways.

Fuck that rustled my jimmies. Apparently, that is the "Christian way" of accepting shit like this. No responsibility, no blame. Just "must have been her time, God has called his favourite child".
I agree with you, I can't stand this either. She was 12. A kid. "A better place". WTF?? How the hell does anyone KNOW that??
I can remember a similar incident that happened around Kakabeka Falls just to the west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. A brother and sister where riding together the sister managed to wriggle free but her brother remained pinned under the machine after rolling it. Being too small pysically to help get the machine off her brother she ran to the house for help. By the time she located her father and got back to the scene of the accident it was too late. It is believed that everytime he exhaled he was squeezed similar to the way that a conibear trap works. The ATV's they make today are really heavy even a physically fit adult would have a hard time if pinned under one this accident should be a wake up call for ATV owners everywhere.

Not sure if your plan is to inject religion regularly but you will find it'll raise the ire of the non-religious who will take you to task, in some cases, vehemently. The expectation as well will be for you to take your lumps or justify yourself and don't ask what would happen if you rolled into a thread and out of the blue did the same...that's not on.
The vehemently anti religious and the dogmatically religious sometimes come off sounding the same....like God is some sort of hit man. I've never been an adherent of predestination, even when I was a member of a Presbyterian Church, to me it interferes with free will, so I can't really accept the idea that it was her 'time'. it was a tragic accident. End of story The views held by many that we go to heaven after we die or become angels run contrary to the what is said of death in the Bible. When you die....you stay dead until being resurrected sometime before Judgment Day.

Really? What does "vehemently anti religious" mean? Do I have to care what the person I'm arguing with thinks for me to be "vehement"? Do I have to be trying to change your mind to be vehement?
I would argue most "anti religious" folks are anti religious on the same grounds as they're anti flat-earth: a common sense rejection of a stupid notion. I vehemently reject religion the same as I'd vehemently oppose the statement that 2 + 2 is 5. I reject it vehemently because it's wrong, not because I care whether someone else is wrong. I just dismiss their assertion on the grounds of stupidity. If someone persists in their stupidity, I'll persist in my vehemently calling it stupidity. If the stupidity ceases, so does my criticism of said stupidity. Or are you talking about people who initiate anti-religion?

Like being vehemently religious, the vehemently anti-religious seem to have the compulsion to ensure that the crowd around them is fully aware that if they hold a religious view - essentially a view that is opposite of theirs, it must wrong. They are not given the courtesy of not having their views mocked and of not having every religious thought submitted with empirical to support said thought.
Of course, some of the vehemently anti-religious take to the extreme of becoming a fuckwitted shitiot on the subject, ensuring that any the disagreement must take on a very personal tone with the labeling of a personal view on faith as simply stupid by default.
You sound like some southern Baptist talking about gays or Muslims, Lemmy. Fucking classless fuck you are tonight you.

On a somber note, and directed at the story, it's always sad when a child dies. Especially when it was a death that was so easily avoidable.

Only God knows, Raydan...
and my guess is, that God has no use for this one (yet).

Except in this case, the targeting package is more personal.

I guess it's fair to ask you the same with a similar inference?
