I can't hear the audio on this here at work, but the video seems self-explanatory. Is it just me or does the Police handling of this seem a little inept?
Tasers first, ask questions later!

Wow, talk about a death wish... Geez.

I really do hope not. I know of someone who, literally through no fault of their own, killed someone whilst driving (I'd explain, but it really isn't a good story!). They've had to live with that for their whole life, and it will always be with them.
I hope these stupid, selfish *****es don't bring that kind of pain on someone.

I agree. The driver of that truck seemed traumatized as I'm sure most of us would. I actually know someone who did this and succeeded a few years ago.

I can't believe my mom stooped so low....

My mom called my doctor and said to him "What's the most accurate measurement for weighing?"
The doctor said "An underwater weighing test"
And just like that, my mom said "Yes. When can my son and my daughter can take it?" and the doc said "Today at 2pm."
So, I didn't bother taking a shower and so did my sister too, so I had to get into a special swimming suit(tight pants...Ugh).
My sister said "Can I pull my hair down to a ponytail?" The doctor said "No."
So my sister with her long, blonde hair went underwater with 8 seconds and had she must enjoyed it..but I didn't.

Hi,
both me and my wife are fighting a desperate (and mostly loosing) fight against the fat.
If you ask me, we as IT workers can but live with it...
Wait I still havn't got the point of this story. What is it the op wants to tell us? Have I missed something?

No idea
Probably just a kid venting? From the medical link given, it seems to be a fairer and more accurate measurement of fat to body-mass ratio than merely using a scale. If the OP really has less fat and more bones/muscle, the test would have been a more accurate measurement of obesity than simply using a weighing scale.
And for teenagers screaming invasion of privacy and such, grow up. Rights comes with responsibility. As long as your parents are providing your needs, they can do whatever the heck they wanna as long as it doesn't hurt. Oh, and emotional trauma and PTSD doesn't really hold up in court.
Makes sense, the OP just said 'accurate', it just sounded a bit off...

Well, I'm glad you are not working in my company then
Rights can never come without the responsibility of enforcing/using that particular right. Otherwise, that is really messed up.
What I meant by that is that since the parents have a responsibility to take care of you, they have the rights to enforce such a responsibility. Otherwise, you should just fend for yourself. Google up teenage emancipation and read up.
The world is never fair, and always cruel. "Grownups" have experienced it. Trust me, I know.

Sorry, forgot the #sarcasm there. Please excuse the teenage angst in this here thread. You will need to engage psychiatrist and psychologists that HAVE to prove that the trauma has significantly changed the victim and their behavior is no longer bounded by societal norms.
From what I can see, teenagers ranting is quite extremely normal. And so is a teenager being shy about his/her body.
Oh, and your superiority complex is showing. Why don't YOU try to put up a PTSD case and see if you can sue your parents?
Move along, and GOML.

I was asked this today (not a suicide topic) and all I could come up with was "i want to be a great teacher one day" . The person told me thats all? I said yep then got looked at like I was crazy.
So I ask you all whats your reason to live every day?

Seriously though: I want to teach elementary school because I think that our educational system has lost alot of essentials that I had back in my elementary school days. I recently went back to a Middle School and some of the things I heard from teachers is that the students are not as focused or bright as they used to be. Tech savy yes, mentally strong, no.
I don't have anything in mind. If something needs do happen, it does, else, it don't. I don't see much in life at the moment.

Has the word THANKS and SORRY become to cheap?

Do you think that, too?
Quite the opposite, i reckon they're still not used enough. Of course it's become easier to do online but people are still reserved and reticent to be polite to strangers. Natural reaction i guess. Perhaps the fact that people are being polite online may carry over to real life eventually?
Personally i've always found myself being awkward in real life social situations and heartfelt stuff just makes it worse. Gotta be drunk for that stuff! No such problem saying Thanks, please, sorry etc on here though.
I don't think the mods will like that. A "thank you" is a thing you'll have to deserve.
I will however 'Thank' any currently serving, or previously serving, member of any of the Armed Services on principal.
Should the OP decide to enlist and serve his Queen and Country i will be the first to hit that button!

"Daughter of mine, you're going to bed soon so turn off that computer and go brush your teeth".
"No daddy, we don't go to bed at this time and i will play this some more, and then i will watch television for a while...", in the sweetest voice imaginable, as if she's explaining the way things are to a total idiot.
I love it! She always does what i ask her though.

Alternatively, what if your GF ended it with you and out of pure bitterness did it online, accusing you of being abusive when you hadn't? I personally think it's a horrendous idea and only emotionally unstable people would take it seriously.
By the "lol" at the end of your 1st post I assume you don't actually mean it.
emotionally unstable?
as i experienced breaking up is nearly as difficult as coming together, crying, shouting, leeching...
Breaking up online (or sms) is only for cowards and degrading against the partner as you show him how important the relationship was for you.

There is no such thing as a casual, non-serious relationship. That's just a friends with benefits or you're lying to yourself. Breaking up online, text, email, snail mail, phone is just being a coward. Even telling someone you don't want to be there friend anymore is just sad & low. The other person is probably going to want to slash your tires as it is, but to breakup with them online, that's how you create bad karma for yourself & make matters even worse.
I'm not sure it will make matters worse since you are breaking up anyways.
as for bad karma, what does that mean...someone will break up with you online too?

It does make it worse, if you care about how people see you - as cowardy little fcker or an honest man. For me at least I was always sorry and a sms or post or anything would have caused that I feel bad.
And Karma means it is not moral. At least I think so...
so no, I would never break up online.
