    Saying life is precious comes across as a jaded statement to you?

    Not sure I understand your context unless you were some how offended by my comment?

    jaded
    [jey-did]

    adjective
    1.
    dulled or satiated by overindulgence:
    a jaded appetite.
    2.
    worn out or wearied, as by overwork or overuse.

    The truck driver might not be criminally liable but if the victims family takes him to civil court the jury will be asked if the truck driver's action was negligent and did it play a part in the person's death. If the jury says yes then he is screwed. Putting your future in the hands of 12 strangers is just not worth it.
    Stay off the shoulders if you can help it.

    That is the short and sweet, condensed version of what I was trying to convey.

    Thank you.

    You said life is a precious commodity. Yes, that comes across as jaded.

    Well you're the one who said it, and then omitted a couple of words to call me on saying that was jaded, so go look up some more of those words or something...
