(for those of you who were not apart of the orginal discussion)
Christian appearently saw the same pattern and started his own thread a couple days before my own, and not wanting to take anything over I decided to do what I had planned to do to begin with.
I will forgive your arrogance here, as it is clearly based on a failure in reading comprehension, and I am well aware that is not your strong suit. I shall quote myself to give you another chance.

So, clearly, I realize that you are trying to elaborate upon what you saw as confusion on this topic. What I want to know, however, is why you feel this topic is important enough to clarify and elaborate upon at all.

Depraved indifference is actually when someone is responsible for another's death even though they did not intend to kill, but they acted with such a disregard for human life. An example is selling a fake vaccine and people dying from the disease they thought the vaccine was intended to prevent. I believe what you're referring to is not a crime in most places unless it is part of your job description, such as a police officer.
