    I am sorry Kansas, but unless they are pointing a gun or a knife at me I will never take a child's life over my own, no matter how stupid their parents are. Even then I will try and disarm them first.

    Frankly I am kind of sadden that you would.. Nor would I want to work for anyone that would advocate such a response.

    Some infant has no knowledge of what it does. I am ok with cold, but rude I am not ok with. ^.^

    So Ill only adress the cold:

    I'll give some way to a soccer van full of kids driven by a idiot. I will swerve and hit a tree/roll my truck if I must to avoid a kid that walks out into the road, I don't belive some 5 year old, running to catch his pet (Wich I will spatter) or his ball (That I will pop) understands fully. So they do not deserve to get pasted by me.

    some 16, 17, 18 year old that whips his mustang through a red light and gets pasted? Fine. Some 5 year old chasing a ball? Not so much.

    And if you are saying you would rather paste some child on the front of your truck than risk your job...I dont know what I can say to you.

    I agree.

    No job is worth some childs life. I'll eat the debt from school and flip burgers if I get fired for planting my truck in a ditch instead of hitting a child.

    I hit a full grown german sheppard one day going 55mph, the dog exploded all over the front of my Mack, as I was pulling chunks of dog outta my grille, the owner comes running over and starts yelling and screaming at me I said "lady , why the heck was that dog running loose"? Her answer was " my dog always runs loose" , I laughed at her and said thats your dumb stupid fault, she then wanted $1000.00 from me so she can get a new dog cause she said the one I killed was a show dog, I then laughed even harder and told her to go ##&#37;k yourself, and left. Went down to the nearest truck wash and cleaned off my truck and I did not lose any sleep over that.

    anybody who would hit a kid rather than take a ditch--obviously doesnt have kids--or else shouldnt be allowed to have any
    if there is a chance i can maybe save somebodys life--especially a kid--then i will do it--no questions asked
    i have lived my life--the little one should be able to as well-sure hope you dont drive anywhere that my kids might be

    Your so awsome. I hope to grow up to be just like you, so I too cannot be understanding when someone loses a beloved pet, and be rude to them too!:biggrin_25513:

    no kids here, but the way I see it: I have made choices, plenty of them, some good, some bad, some that shoulda killed me, so I can make a choice to put my truck in a ditch, and save a kid who dont know no better.

    Maybe god will smile and say 'here is another choice that shoulda killed you but didnt' or maybe he will say 'oh, now I can finally make up for missin ya that last time' :p

    You never aim at the pedestrians no matter how much they tick you off.
