It's been a while since I did rant about something that was topical. This is not from the news, it's not a current affair, it's something I find just plain fucked.

How come every time a teenager dies in a high speed crash on the roads everyone comes out of the wood works to say "Ohhh... he was such a special, caring lad" or "she was just a happy, responsible child". Well here's a heads up, if any of these children were responsible, then why are they and/or their friends now fucking dead? A special, responsible person is somebody who recognises that not only is THEIR life at stake every time they get into a car, but also the lives of their passengers. I don't see anything special about a kid who wrecklessly drives a car above the speed limit on a dark outback road. You can almost reenact the scene. The driver, desperate for approval amongst their peers, the passengers, seeking something more from their normal done to death lives. "FASTER!", they chant, "WOOHOO!", they cheer, "LOOK OUT!" they scream, before ploughing into a tree.

Anybody who finds this rant offensive or insensitive can fuck off, I don't care. It's the truth. I'm speaking generally of course and I realise sometimes accidents happen at noone's fault. I'm also not suggesting that in some way I'm perfect. In my younger years I drank drove to the point of disgrace. I've since changed my ways, realised my wrong doings and feel I'm in a position to report. Oh, to add, believe me, I've done my time, I've paid prices for my mistakes. I'm one of the doomed who seems to pay for everything I've done wrong, be it small or large. So don't even go there.

My main gripe with this whole situation is when the family comes out saying "they were such a great, special kid!" I smell bullshit. If they were so great they would've kept in mind the lives that were held in their hands, including their own.

If one of my friend's die, I'm not going to go to the news and start saying, "Fuck me, this guy... shit... he was built like Arnie. On top of that, he was, shit... he was just Ghandi in the second coming, you know?" I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to fucking say that about me. I'd like to have my vices known so maybe other people watching it could go, "WELL, now I know what NOT to do!"

My guess is that half the parents or family involved with said "special" person are the sort of people who encourage children to become little shits. As a child they use the "I'm going to count to 3" rule or they flick the lights on and off as if hyperactive kids would actually about this.

Another assumption on my behalf is although these people MAY think they're children are special, it's most probably factual that they are actually little bastard demon spawns from hell. I can see it, child running rampant through a store, addressing adults as though they were one themselves, showing no respect whatsoever. Yet, the family looks on in admiration, "Aw... isn't he/she a smart little special snowflake. He/she thinks he/she's an adult! Wow, don't you just admire how he/she goes around doing whatever he/she wants. Such a little trooper!" Newsflash - ignoring this behaviour, or even worse - PROMOTING/ENCOURAGING this behaviour - will become a disaster to how your child develops. Aggressive little arrogant boys grow up to become aggressive arrogant men. Tarty loud mouthed girls grow up to become tarty loud mouthed women. Times these negative attributes by ten and you have the adult interpretation. The love for this little shit has blinded the family to think that they're loud mouthed arrogance is actually special and something to be heralded.

Fuck, I could be wrong though. It could just be that they're only remembering the good times. I'm aware that part of the mourning proccess is to think of the corpse in better more living times. I just feel in this case there's a responsibility to emphasise the negative, dark reality of this person's actions. Please, let's not validate the death of someone through irresponsible actions by stating publicly that the person at fault was special, responsible, smart or caring. Because you know what, the following photos represent NONE of those attributes to me:
