And don't forget constantly sick - bacteria and viruses are living organisms too.

You can't pick and choose who you show compassion to folks.

Erm, thats not true :)

Very few people will ever feel compassion for a thieving ******* and most will feel that he deserved his fate.

Compassion must be earned and a thief can never earn it.
And this is the very reason why you will never understand the concept. Compassion is something that is given freely, of the person laying it down for their fellow man. It is not a commodity to be bartered, priced and commercialised.

If you feel so strongly do as I said above and setup a poll and you will see how one sided that argument is when applying it to a thieving ******* such as this guy.

I know you will not do that because you already know what the result will be, as the majority will say no compassion for a thief who should have known better.

If it was an electricity worker who was accidently electrocuted in the course of his job then we would feel sorry for him and his family.

Oooookay....why?
because you can choose to whom compassion is given - and such a powerful concept must never be diluted by being given freely - it especially must not be wasted on those people who had the choice whether to risk death by an illegal act, or not, & chose the risk, then failed.

that applies to people being electrocuted in substations, those dying due to drug overdoses, losing control of a speeding car, etc, etc, etc

Regrets, yes, compassion, no ...

I have compassion but it's reserved for his family.

I guess I wouldn't make a very good Christian though.I'm sure Jesus would would have had regret,compassion and love for this man..and forgiven him.


However it's not my place to forgive him as he's not wronged me.He's paid a high price for stupidity and maybe it's time to let him rest in peace as this thread is really going no where.

picture a charred dead man on a slab, a father to children and a son to his mum . Then look down on him and call him mr crispy. If you can do that and think yourself as compassionate then fair enough.If you find it funny fair enough though I think its sick. Re the sense of humour thing, just because someone doesnt find it funny doesnt mean they and I quote are lacking a sense of humour. There were jokes floating around when princess Di died, I didnt find those funny either. circumstances lead up to a death like this, sit at your pc's and mock it if you like I just hope someone close to you doesnt end up the same and you dont have to witness people on a forum making jokes over it.

Masque, marty I normally agree with your posts this is one we will have to agree to disagree over. No hard feelings. I have alot more to say but i've had to type quick on the ps3 before maggy locks it :) gaz i couldnt disagree more with your post but each to their own i guess

flyboy, thanks to you joining in, I havent had one attack on my good name lol :)

If someone I actually knew did this I would still feel no compassion for them either, as they had made a choice of to thieve or not to thieve and the end result was death through stupidity.

1)Look around at what happens in nature, life is most certainly not sacred. Humans might choose to think it is but the evidence says otherwise :shrug:
2)Just because I have no compassion for the likes of Stalin or this ******* doesn't mean that I don't have compassion for others....

or any ther cable for that matter. 33Kv cable isn't exactly small stuff. single phase cables are about 2 inches thick and weigh about 6kg's per metre. on the other hand if it was 3phase cable - i hope they wern't gonna try and carry it off down the street, it's best part of 5 inches thick and is 25-odd kg's per metre. not the sort of stuff u'd usually find house-bashing................

sentiments echo'd. had a site in devon and wondered why had no power to the container. found they had dug the cable - spiked it (trips the breaker which kills the power and makes safe) and nicked it. it then took twice the work to replace and re-duct it than it did first time round.
