It is best to capitalize topics and to avoid vague titles. “Hi, I’m new” and “Help please” are examples of bad titles.

Yes. But I'm sure you think he deserves it.

Think he'll learn from his mistake?

Yes. Thanks.
I suppose you've never laughed at total disbelief at an incredibly poorly thought out action?

Possibly. But I don't recall ever taking photos and then posting them online and mocking the person. But that's me. I'm nice.

Perhaps this is off-topic, but I'm wondering if you would have the same criticisms of people who post videos of motor-vehicle accidents, specifically those caused by really unwise driving behavior, or do you just have a problem with me personally?

I don't even know you, brother. FWIW, I hate that stupid rubbernecking thread. Like watching infants thrown from scooters is somehow interesting? It's fucking sickening. Your post is less so, but still kind of obnoxious and arrogant.

The "reverse flood wall" strikes again. I guess they haven't got that drainage problem figured out yet.....

Looks like they built it without any real investigation into why the area flooded....
I must say though, that wall looks nice and neat now.
