Can our 'culture' sink any further down the cesspool?!

Sorry, I am not posting any of it. Read it and weep. Buckets' worth. x(




People WATCHED as this degenerate vile insanity took place. They did NOTHING. Except WATCH. And point it out to a cop.

The Friggin' COWARDS wouldn't even intervene, and prefer to watch as if it was "Jerry Springer Live". x(
And all that will make the boy's scars even worse.

1. I know Hypno..it's awful that no one would intervene

That poor kid.

2. It's happening all over....

German mob encouraging a suicidal woman to jump from a roof, however many of the homeless nearby tried to put a stop to it (which is the upside.) What kind of person cheers on an attempted suicide?

5. The mob (unruly teenagers) should jump instead.

10. Am I getting old, or do young people these days seem more

cruel and heartless. The case you mentioned was like Kitty Genovese all over again - a crime being committed against a helpless victim in front of people's eyes and they do nothing. I feel very disgusted at the state of humanity these days. :cry:

3. Oh that poor child

4. The people that just stood there

should be deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves. Poor kid.

6. Oh, sure - just wait til the lid on the evangelical Christians finally comes off.

You're gonna see cess that you didn't think was humanly possible; cess from the very deepest, darkest, most loathsome pits of depravity and evil.

7. Well there is this little turd posted ahead of yours. Jeez.

8. Calm down, dude. I'm not omnipresent.

But that thread is for a different incident. So I'm not in the wrong. (ever hear of the Oedipus complex? Based on the Greek legend of the man Oedipus who killed his father and married his mother...)

You still have to explain why you're calling other DUers names...

9. I believe it is the incident in the thread which is the turd

not you or the other poster or the thread or even Karl Rove.

We Americans do seem to obsess about the negative and these types of incidents become "news" for the M$M. The millions of random acts of kindness or senseless acts of beauty are not reported. I think we need a fairness doctrine on that, to make some positive stories into news. Otherwise it is all violence, accidents, explosions, car chases, shooting, etc. As Paul wrote in Phillipians 4 : 8 - "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
