    Yes, those are not the same and that’s exactly the point.

    2nd one is me trying to understand your perspective and assumimg that you asses the irresponsibility of wondering into trafic must comr from the modern perspective in accordance with modern standards (existing traffic laws and road culture) - reality after PR campaign.

    1st one is pointing out that that traffic laws and road culture were different back then, and.we.can’t even talk about “wondering into” traffic anymore than we could talk about “wondering into sidewalk” - reality before PR campaign.

    Those two not being the same is the result of PR campaign changing one state of round culture to another by stigmatizing being a pedestrian on the street. That’s the problem we are discussing.

    Come on.

    (Man, I’m regretting biting after it was obvious this conversation is going nowhere. This time I’m truly out. Feel free to have your last word, but - hopefully - I’ll not address it)

      So you’re confused because you made baseless assumptions about me personally? Yeah, that’ll do it.

        Personally? It was based on things you said. We allready discused it, right? And it was the only thing to.me that made sense. At least than you’d be understandably wrong, instead of stubbornly wrong. If you understand that before the campaign walking on the streets was normal and perfectly leagal and the capaign stigmatized it as a simpletons behavior of irresponsible people, than I honestly don’t understand what is the hill you chose to die on.
