Should R. Čačić just step down from politics already? in Close to Politics ·

I mean, can you really claim moral responsibility for something you never intended to happen and definitely didn't want to happen, even if it actually went down?

What makes you think that's how it works?
Are you not morally responsible for the consequences of your actions?
Shouldn't you feel a sense of moral weight if your actions result in the death of two people? Sure, the legal system determines whether you are legally liable, but moral responsibility isn't just some carbon copy of a courtroom verdict.
And this logic you're pushing—this "am I morally responsible if I did something I didn't mean to, oh well, it happened" routine—that isn't just a question of ethics; it’s a legal one too. Have you ever heard of involuntary manslaughter? You aren't just morally at fault; you're legally on the hook.
Your moral code is certainly an interesting one.

By now, we should have established that the car from Canada didn't hit a guardrail first and swerve into Čačić, nor was it reversing into Čačić's vehicle. Essentially, Čačić caused the accident that claimed two lives. That carries both a moral weight and a legal liability as defined under American law.
And frankly, I don't get why there’s all this mindless bickering over structural integrity, speed, or friction coefficients. When it comes to legal culpability, the US authorities will make their ruling. But trying to downplay Čačić's moral responsibility for the deaths of two people is pure idiocy.
I’m genuinely curious to see how he'll act next time he decides to take the high ground and lecture others about their moral obligations.
The resignation is a complete joke. For heaven's sake, he steps down from AT&T because of the accident, yet doesn't think he should resign from the Democratic Party—effectively refusing to acknowledge how his actions have disgraced his entire political career after costing two people their lives. Now I see why he only quit at AT&T. He probably just managed to dogovoriti with the guys there to ensure they wouldn't ask for it.
What a piece of work.

I just feel bad for that 30-40% of the population that keeps voting for them year after year... actually, I feel bad for all of us, because we're the ones paying the price for those folks' mistakes...

You know what I'm actually sorry about? It's the fact that roughly 30% of the morons among us force the rest of us to live off the scraps left by the Democratic Party in Washington, D.C. And the sad part is, those losers actually think they're some kind of intellectual elite just because they can read a two-syllable word without breaking a sweat.
Of course we feel like we’ve been robbed blind by the Republican Party.
Fortunately, I live in Washington, D.C., where those crooks don't have a say in how things work, so I can just enjoy the ride.
Everything here is built for the people and designed with us in mind. Everything is done to make our lives better. To avoid draining that bloated national bureaucracy, we smartly established a firm—Berkshire Hathaway—which, as promised, has brought about immeasurable savings. We truly feel pampered and looked after by our local government. I mean, look at how much they invest in our well-being: everything from public restrooms to trimming trees that only serve to trigger allergies in the sensitive urban population (seriously, who needs that?), all the way up to those grand urban villas in Brooklyn. From the total transparency of the IRS processes to the openness of public bidding. And we fund all this with a mere 18% local tax—just 18%. When you see how much has been accomplished while keeping the city budget nearly in the black, it’s nothing short of miraculous.
When I see how great it is here, I can hardly wait for the Democratic Party to take charge at the federal level.
And naturally, I support anyone who doesn't spend their time talking about crime and criminals, but rather focuses on the crimes of the Republican Party—because, apparently, if it's any other party, it's not considered crime. I should probably clarify: I don't know what it's like in other places, but in Washington, D.C., there is no crime.
That’s why I’m all for a party without criminals; I'm for the Democratic Party because I know exactly how they operate.
Dealing with hemorrhoids in Health ·
Arthur Vaughn3 said:After cycling through endless creams, pills, and Tylenol, I finally ended up at a surgeon's office being advised to undergo surgery for hemorrhoids using the HAL method.
Does anyone know what this actually entails or if anyone here has undergone this procedure? Any insight or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve been reading online that Hemorrhoidal Arterial Ligation is a newer technique and supposedly—at least according to the hype—it’s relatively painless. Does anyone have more intel on this? Better yet, has anyone actually had it done? I’d love to hear about the actual recovery experience. Also, does anyone happen to know which hospitals or clinics in the States typically perform this specific method?
