Graffiti and other vandalisms are crimes and generally despicable.
They are not capital offences. Nobody ever said that they were, although the owner of a house whose side wall has been 'tagged' three times in the last month might disagree. People trespassing on railway lines know that there are risks, but that doesn't mean that they intend (or deserve) to die, any more than people who cross roads. Quite true & nobody here said that they should be, buts lets be clear in most cases they brought the problems on thereselves. People who are interested in railways have been ridiculed for years (eg the term "trainspotter", for which there is no equivalent for anyone interested in any other industry). Well there is 'planespotters' but there has been no suggestion that these people were enthusiasts. Oh dear, been away too long to catch up, but my point was that railway "enthusiasts" are so used to being ridiculed that this may be why they feel satisfaction when their industry of interest kills someone who didn't take it seriously enough. I don't think that the people killed were enthusiasts. So we have a tendency to think "hey, our trains are well 'ard; we've managed to kill another one; that'll show 'em that we ought to be taken seriously". Who said that? I suggested that there was a tendency to think it, not that someone said it. But I don't see why our pride in being interested in an industry which involves dangerous machinery should make us quite so gleeful about people getting killed by that machinery. I don't think it happens in other industries. Please show me a gleeful post in this thread. "Simon" seems to have done that admirably already. |

Take what seriously? I don't think that the people killed were enthusiasts. We don't know what they're enthusiastic about, if anything.

If you think that then you really do have problems with comprehension. |

Take what seriously? The railway industry. What else was I talking about? I don't think that the people killed were enthusiasts. We don't know what they're enthusiastic about, if anything. Of course we don't. A previous poster misunderstood me to be suggesting that they were on the railway because they were railway enthusiasts. I certainly wasn't suggesting that. I was referring to railway enthusiasts' reaction to people getting killed. So we have a tendency to think "hey, our trains are well 'ard; we've managed to kill another one; that'll show 'em that we ought to be taken seriously". Who said that? I suggested that there was a tendency to think it, not that someone said it. The only person likely to think that seems to be you. It's a possible explanation for the evidence in the form of the kind of messages that get posted here every time someone is killed on the railway. Even if no one thinks it, it's still a possible explanation. But I don't see why our pride in being interested in an industry which involves dangerous machinery should make us quite so gleeful about people getting killed by that machinery.

If you think that then you really do have problems with comprehension. I certainly don't comprehend your comment. Previous posters suggested that there had been nothing gleeful. "Simon" then challenged this by quoting many comments from other postings that could be said to be gleeful or at least satisfied by the fact that these people had been killed on the railway. There is no need for me to reproduce the same list of quotes. |

Take what seriously? The railway industry. What else was I talking about? Do you mean "the industry" or the equipment it uses? I don't think that the people killed were enthusiasts. We don't know what they're enthusiastic about, if anything. Of course we don't. A previous poster misunderstood me to be suggesting that they were on the railway because they were railway enthusiasts. I certainly wasn't suggesting that. I was referring to railway enthusiasts' reaction to people getting killed. Like other people, there will be a variety of reactions and views. I suspect there are many with no interest in the railways at all whose basic attitde will be "tough ****, shouldn't have been there". So we have a tendency to think "hey, our trains are well 'ard; we've managed to kill another one; that'll show 'em that we ought to be taken seriously". Who said that? I suggested that there was a tendency to think it, not that someone said it. The only person likely to think that seems to be you. It's a possible explanation for the evidence in the form of the kind of messages that get posted here every time someone is killed on the railway. Even if no one thinks it, it's still a possible explanation. If something can be imagined then it's possible which significiantly different to the likelihood of it happening. But I don't see why our pride in being interested in an industry which involves dangerous machinery should make us quite so gleeful about people getting killed by that machinery.
