I'm an engineer for Northern Pacific Rail Road, There would occasionally be an animal hit. I hit plenty of deer. They'd take insane leaps in front of the train at the last second, like it was a game. When I hit 'em they'd FLY off.
One day I was rolling along through one of those endless stretches of green through the state of Washington when about a mile ahead I can see something on the tracks. It was metal. The light was winking off of it like it was moving. It was a car. Somehow, there in the middle of all these trees there is a car on the tracks, and I start breaking, but I already know that I'm gonna hit it. I could see people now. There were some on the side, but there were some there with the car too. There were people in it too. The driver was still trying to get his car off the tracks in time. Most of 'em got out of the way, but a bunch of em didn't. The Boy behind the wheel never even got one leg out of the car before i hit. The Chevy Impala skewed sideways slamming into a couple of his friends by the side, the horrible shower of sparks sparing me the details. When the Federal Transportation ***** interviewed me hours later I let on like I was real shaken up, but truth be told I was cool as a cucumber. Honestly, I was a little thrilled. I can't say what the feeling was that overtook me when I plowed into that car. Joy? Glee?
I was back on the job again a month later after the investigations had cleared me of culpability. Them kids had ridden that chevy onto the tracks at a crossing nearly 2 miles back. The FTA called it a preventable accident, where sole responsibility was with the driver. 3 of them got killed under my train. But now, I was back in my cab, riding the rails again. They gave me a new route and told me that if I needed to, I could use my vacation time anytime I wanted. The Bosses seemed more interested in me now. I told em all I was fine. I'm a train man. I need to be on the rails. And here I am. I got myself a new train. I call her Darla. We pull freight, so Shes a beast. I feel at home in her. I ride those rails and I mostly don't think about cars on the tracks, but now when I pull the accellerator down, my finger caresses the 3 little notches that I carved there. I rub my fingers over those notches and make the train go a little faster. Darla and I have some miles to cover. We're heading for LA, where theres lots of young kids and their cars. I bet I get another notch while I'm down there.

LIAR! You NEVER served in the Army, if anything your a scared little B!+ch that capsulizes on being a coward. First you said you were in the Marines & NOW you said your in the Army? F*C* OFF! Your just saying that you served in the Army just to look tough, but omg you are actually taking credit for the people that actually put themselves on the line & did something with there life, & not lie about it while your safe behind your monitor. You better hope to God I never see you in person, because if I do, I will hurt you.

How do you kill a warm blooded person in cold blood? You either kill or not kill.
A state can hire a doctor as an executioner to give the lethal injections. He gets paid for his work. Doesn't that make him a hired murderer?
He just got paid to go kill someone...

Hey if you check where your hand is going in the topics list it looks like it is going towards the axe stuck in my head.

You really can't kill anyone in cold blood because when you kill them their blood is still warm.
