The sad thing is that I'm not surprised. It probably happens more often than you think.. The kids aren't the ones to blame, of course. Their parents are fucked up and don't care enough for their children to get help.. Expect to hear more stories like those..

Heh.. That Paris Hilton story reminded me of when Fabio got hit in the face by a goose while riding a roller coaster. For some reason, I just love that story..

I'd rather ask what is wrong with their parents, the kids are too young to know better.

Paris on the other hand...

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Is that what they used to call good horse sense?

MrColossal · Sat 27/03/2004 03:08:48

i should make a shirt with that on it...

as for children, my mother is a school nurse for an elementary school, you should hear what goes on there...

A week ago a kid brought a hand-gun to our school.

Kids now-a-days have no good role models.

They have MTV and the pop music culture.

It teaches the guys to be wanna-be-thugs who think they're tough guys and disrespective of woman.

And teaches the little girls to dress like whores and walk around with their butts hangin' out of their pants.

It's pathetic.

I agree with the comment about the parents.

My only hope is that when these kids grow up they'll realize how stupid that life style is and come around. But it's unlikely ...

The future is doomed.

This is what really happened to Fabio. He should have held the Blue Cup a tad tighter on his ride.

On a serious note, this whole world is going to hell, and thank god i'll be long gone before it happens.

They're all fat as well.

I mean, jeez, how did those kids get so fat?

Timosity · Sat 27/03/2004 05:45:12

very young kids with drugs at school is obviously something to do with the parents (unless they got them from their local dealer)

Paris can just get fucked the stupid bitch, I wish the horse did a proper job

There is no excuse for Fat kids, it's obviously the parents fault for feeding them too much and letting them play computer games too much and too much tv, not burning off what they consume. (with a few rare exceptions like a thyroid or hormonal problem [but most of the time they are just excuses for bad diet & no exercise]) It's also the same for adults.

It's funny how some fat people make excuses and blame it on heredity (although that can be a factor, it's still just an excuse) It's funny how people say they just can't lose the weight (while eating 5 hot dogs and a plate of chips) then sitting on their arse (no fucking wonder).

Larger people do need to work harder to stay in shape, but it is laziness & diet that causes obese individuals. (and of course psychology plays a major role)

No offense to anyone that is overweight, but you know deep down that if you put in the effort you will be rewarded. It takes time, maybe even years, but it's a lifestyle not a chore.

MrColossal · Sat 27/03/2004 06:11:14

what if the person isn't lazy just happy with how they are?

they don't need to be rewarded because they're already happy

Well, I thought it was kinda funny:

Hmmmm.... think I'll smoke some weed. Let's see, where is it? Well, here's that oregano I put out for Junior's lunch, but I just can't find the.... hold on... OH SWEET JESUS IN HEAVEN NO!!!

Sorry, sorry. What I meant to say is: I blame MTV and those horrible, disrespectful rappers and so forth. Kids these days, I tell you.

That is also a very valid point, and if that's the case, There's no problem with it, In my head I was thinking about the people that complain about themselves but don't do anything about it.

It's all psychological how you feel and rationalise to yourself.

There's also people that can't put on any weight no matter how much they eat, it does come down to metabolism, but your metabolism changes throughout your life, and it is controlable with diet and exercise. You just have to know your own body and how different things effect it, similar to what C. lex mentioned in the 3 hours sleep insomnia thread.

On the topic of kids taking drugs, to any parent, don't just listen to doctors and get ridilin or dexamphetamines, these drugs are just as bad, if not worse than the street drugs their parents are taking.

Doctors are paid by drug companies to prescribe as many of these drugs as possible, the doctors get more benefits and patients, the more drugs they prescribe. What it comes down to is that people will go to doctors that prescribe these drugs, making the doctors think "well, I'll lose more patients if I don't start to prescribe these."

[There was a fantastic episode of South Park on this topic, I loved how they came up with ridilout]

It's a huge problem these days, and it could be easier to treat these children without resorting to drugs, also these kids will more likely develope other drug problems later on in life.

It's a major problem in the US, but is also a trend that is following in the rest of the developed world.

You've gotta remember that Drug companies are not just there to help people in need (although they may do that aswell) they are just running a business that is looking to make a profit (and a fucking huge one) they pray on easy targets, children & the elderly. (although If I get old, I guess I wouldn't mind getting high)

Only let your kids take anything as a last resort, even paracetamol (worlds largest placebo) or even anti biotics, let them build up their own immunity, you end up being able to fight bacteria much more effectively as you get older if you've refrained from resorting to anti biotics (you'll rarely ever get sick)

But then some people are just unlucky (or hypochondriacs)

Aaaahh, it's just a reflection on some really bad sides of capitalism.

Also there's a good reason a lot of people are lazy these days, we've made everything so easy, you hardly have to leave your house, and if you do, you don't even have to get out of your car.

So I think we're just starting to realise the reality that our technology has on us.

Humans of the Future = Fat drug addicted insomniac models on Mars.

Bah, seeing people my age nowadays I think is it not better to live in a strict muslim country like Saudi Arabia or Libia - at least they don't have the "Whore dressing" problem.
