In that case, I guess I should be executed as well, since I accidentally started a brush fire when I was about 10. :roll:

May be someday you'll accidentally rear-end someone at a stopsign, then he can shoot you in the face for damaging his property. I'm sure that'll seem fair.

The spoiled children of today are never going to learn their lesson with a few months of juvinile hall or their parents paying millions of dollars. Kill them painfully and show every child in school pictures of it. The ****** need to finally learn their lesson.

EDIT: What did your brushfire destroy?

It destroyed about half an acre of tall grass, but that's not the point. If it had spread farther and burned down a nearby house, it still would have been completely accidental, and even though I didn't destroy anything of value, I still felt pretty horrible about it. Despite the fact that I wasn't executed for it, nor did I go to juvenile hall for it, I somehow seemed to have "learned my lesson" as I haven't started any more brush fires since then.

That place needs a new editor:

"Some flames liked electricity poles, which, in turn, caught fire and sparked yet another fire."

I wonder what happened, like if it was an accident, or if they thought it'd be cool to light a field on fire, or what.

I used to love playing with fire when I was little, but I knew what I was doing. Keep the burning area small, keep it away from any big sources of fuel, keep a waterhose nearby, don't burn during droughts, and never ever leave a fire unattended as long as there was any smoke.
But then, as a kid, I also knew how to work with electricity safely. Made my parents nervous, but they saw how I worked and figured I was being safe. It's dangerous only if you let it get that way. Stay alert, don't touch anything you shouldn't, know how to cut power in a hurry, and don't do anything suddenly. I have yet to be shocked by anything much more than 12VDC. (Excluding when I'm using my 100KV Tesla Coil.:D But then it's not a shock - you don't really feel anything as the power flows right over your skin.)

Yeah, I was surprised by that one. I guess it's a Florida thing.
