Baby dies while parents play World of Warcraft

[Leslie]

The key to this story, is two adults are criminally negligent, regardless if babies die all the time whether a parent tries everything under the sun to prevent it from happening.

No, it wasn't the game, that's silly.

The game was just lucky to become the target.

The target of two people that never should have been allowed to become parents, at all, ever.

Is that me denying them basic human freedoms? Damn right.

What right do I have to do that?

Explain your question to the dead baby.

Oh wait, the baby is dead, can't be asked.

Given a choice, I tend to side with the real victim, rather than champion a good cause (rampant out of control freedom for the sake of it) when the recipient is a worthless waste of skin.

Re the driving laws example. I vote we remove all speeding limits. If you cause an accident that results in a fatality, as a result of your careless actions, we just give you the death sentence. Seems fair.
Remember, driving fast isn't entirely about YOUR being able to deal with driving fast, it's also about other users of the road dealing with you insistence on driving as fast as you like. They might not be able to deal with your excessive speed eh.

And that can be applied to other thought processes.

Sometimes the good of the many, is just that, about the good of the many. Even if it inconveniences the potential of some of the few.
