As long as they’re not hurting anyone else let nature do it’s thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eh, I think it’s a couple things here …

  1. It encourages others to maybe try it
  2. We should do our best to preserve kids’ lives while they’re young, easily influenced, and lack critical thinking skills
  3. It’s someone’s job to clean these kids up off the tracks, it’s someone’s job to tell their parents, it’s someone’s job to coordinate funeral details, and that sucks for everyone mentioned
  4. It ruins transportation for thousands of people for several hours

I get what you’re saying but thought I’d drop some food for thought

Fair point, I’m not cheering anyone’s death but it’s the parent’s responsibility to preserve their kids. Too many people are having kids when they don’t know how to be responsible parents or even adults for that matter.

They will delay the lines and it hurts everyone’s time. I get we are talking about lives here and I don’t wanna sound insensitive, but if they wanna die somewhere, do it with no people around or tryna get to places.

Nah because I CBF’ed when train traffic is delayed ahead of me for 30+ mins because they gotta scoop someone off the tracks and conduct an investigation. My goal when riding public transportation is to be on public transportation for as little time as possible.
