Sounds like natural evolution to me
survival of the fittest.

hmm, making value judgments on other human being as whether they deserve to live or not?
you make it sound like any one that dies, in any circumstance deserves it. didn't check my tire pressure, spun off the road died, died out of ignorance, didnt deserve to procreate..
That bloke did a silly thing clearly, and it killed him. Being human im prone to making mistakes myself hopefully none as fatal as that.
But im not going to laugh at him.. or feel indifferent to him because of one silly mistake.
1. he shouldn't have climbed up on the roof.. culturaly thats normal in india though, how ever this was electirc, not diesel as theyre used to, so I'm not going to blame him too much for that mistake. 2. he reached up to steady him self.. again silly, but an understandable lapse of thought that turned fatal.
There are more reasons to find this sad, and unfortunate, than hilarious or stupid

nope
he decided it was time to go and play on the top of a train, he died.
A car crash is entirely different, and you know that, don't split hairs.

both result in death...both involve a level of ignorance
I dont think its splitting hairs at all..
Your saying if some one dies out of a mistake they have made they are some sort of untermensch and up for ridicule. I'm (edit) NOT going to ridicule this guy..
Were all human, we all make mistakes, some bigger than others.. it doesn't how ever reflect on our value as living beings..
Ive laughed at the Darwin awards..(this case doesnt count in my opinio) I dont think the proposal that they have "taken them selves out of the gene pool" is meant to be taken seriously.

also, maybe i need to see the run up to this incident
but your asuming he was "playing".. I'm saying its possible due to the fact that its culturaly normal for peolpe to travel on the top of trains in india, that is the reason he thought it was ok to climb on top, and mabe he didnt realise it was electric?
Its very easy for you, being bought up in a country where health safty is paramount to look on this incident with scourne.
Where as ide say him not being aware of the danger he was in isnt reason to ridicule him.
Unless he was aware, and this was a suicide? inwhich case its even more reason to find this very sad...
What do you think he was thinking when he caused his death?

The "fittest" doesn't mean the best, it means the most suited to the environment.
Many of the worst people of the last century have used this argument as an excuse for genocide, most have misunderstood it.

who said anything about the "best"?
Noone said anything about genocide too, so don't try putting words into my mouth.

That's the way you were using it. "least stupid" then. It's the same mistake.
I also didn't say you were saying anything about genocide. Just pointing out whose arguments you were using.

No it wasn't, bullshit
I said survival of the fittest, it's quite a common term, if you don't understand it or want to intentionally misinterpret it then that's your own problem.
This is all about as natural as it can get.

It's not a just a common term, it's a commonly misused one.
One which is used to justify terrible things.
