I agree DD. He did promote movies that glorified idiotic driving. I can’t help but think of the “He who lives by the sword…” quote.

LOL EXCEPT ITS ACTING NOT REAL, are you fucking kidding me with that logic?
There is one thing I know,if you are gonna die,you’ll still die,even the most careful people die in situations beyond their control. If he gave 10,000 for the ring,it was his choice,his money and he had every right to decide who he wanted to help, for all you know,he might have given to other charities helping hungry kids and we’ll never know. RIP to a good man

If they had been in a prius, not only would they have walked away, they would have helped to end world hungry and saved the life of a polar bear family. Those Porsche’s are evil tho
Not that I think that the Porsche Carrera GT should be taken off the road but when there is a vehicle that’s capable of producing 600 horsepower, an engine placed in the middle (no engine in the front means there is no large chunk of steel protecting you from an impact), and no stability control, no amateur driver should be able to get behind one.
I loved that song he did with Nelly called “Grillz”.

Didn’t they report that Roger Rodas has participated in numerous competitive races including the Pirelli World Challenge Series and 25 Hours of Thunderhill (both of which Walker participated in as well).

By no means were they amateurs (sorry if I implied that) but they WERE hotdoggin it. They messed around with a dangerous, powerful car and they got bit for it.
After all has been said though, I would be lying if this didn’t spark my intrest in the Carrera. I guess we’re attracted to dangerous things.

You are aware he wasn’t driving? So the stupid thing he did was ride with someone who crashed their car. Do your passengers dictate how you drive a car?

Who is Paul Walker?
$10k for a wedding ring? Horse shite. You’re paying $10k for a gold band? I don’t think so. Pity he didn’t give it to the Fred Hollows Foundation (hollows.org.au) which would have given, at $23 a pop, sight to 434 poverty stricken people, instead of some self centred female. I mean, was it exactly $10k or was it $9,999? Sorry but my sphincter is clamping so that means a PR person is in the vicinity. Beware of rich and famous doing strangely public donations. “Put it on my tab.” He had a tab at a jewelry store? Excuse me while I go take a dump.
If you believe stories like that, CNN or not, you should just send me your bank account details with password and I’ll buy every “returning soldier’s girlfriend” a gold ring. Trust me. I’m a movie start.
I guess the forum’s name tells it all.[/quote]
Well that anger is explained by being from a country of convicts…

He was participating in it. Unless you think maybe he was trying to get him to slow down and had no idea they were going to be racing.
Again, an equally valid lesson would be don’t get in a car with a guy going street racing, just like you shouldn’t get in a car with a drunk.

I agree with your comparison in theory though I don’t think it fits here. Mostly because it doesn’t appear they were street racing, maybe just speeding. There is video showing the car just before the accident, there were no other cars around, and the County Sheriff has stated there wasn’t indication of racing. I would compare his responsibility in this accideent much like mine was last night when my buddy decided to just ignore right of way rules and almost got us into a crash.
Anyway, agree about the drunk driver/street racing, just doesn’t seem to be the cause in this instance.
They lost control while driving fast in a vehicle which is very hard to drive fast, even harder when you’re on city streets (road chamber, and other various deviations on the road surface). It’s horrible they died, but stop making it into something more than what it is.

Not kidding at all. You can’t tell me those movies didn’t influence many to race and drive recklessly.
Just saw a commercial for the F&F 6 DVD and they said that a portion of sales will go towards Paul Walker’s charity called Reach Out WorldWide. I think that is pretty generous that the family is asking supporters to donate to the charity instead of getting them flowers and the typical mourning gifts.
Also I never addressed WWEAttitudes idea that I called myself a fat American. Or that I consider myself more American than Canadian. I think he has me confused with someone else.
How fat I am can be seen in my profile…which has photos, unlike WWEAttitude’s.
