ATLANTA -- At least 82 youths have died from the so-called choking game, according to the first official count of fatalities from the fad.

In the game, children use dog leashes or bungee cords wrapped around their necks or other means to temporarily cut blood flow to their head. The goal is a dreamlike, floating feeling when blood rushes back into the brain.

As many as 20 percent of teens and preteens play the game, sometimes in groups, according to estimates based on a few local studies. But nearly all the deaths were youths who played alone, according to the count compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
I don't even want to link to the rest of the article. Kids are fucking retarded. That much more so after they cut off the oxygen to their brains for however long. I blame rap music, video games and color television.

I never said that kids have a monopoly on being stupid.

If someone's sex is boring enough that their partner needs to be choked to enjoy it... well, there but for the grace of God go I Smiley: laugh

I heard about that at least 5-6 years ago, when one of my mates' younger brother told us how they did it in school. They didn't use anything special though, just a good old hand-choke.

There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood,
they always listen to mom,
they disregard civil disobedience,
they'd rather do what they're told...
They don't drink
or fUck,
or smoke...
They sit home,
and read,
expand their minds...

Speaking of stupid people with way to much time on their hands:

Alleged Serial 911 Caller Made More Than 27,000 Calls

HAYWARD, Calif. -- Authorities have arrested an alleged 911 cell phone caller who was believed to have made more than 27,000 emergency calls, overwhelming California Highway Patrol and Hayward 911 systems.

The 911 calls started flooding in last May. The caller responded to emergency operators with bodily noises, muttering and pressing beep tones.

"He completely overwhelmed our system," said Desi Calzada, manager of the Hayward Communications Center, which operates 911. "He delayed the answering of other 911 calls because we were answering his."

John Triplette has been arrested night for investigation of abusing the 911 emergency line, a misdemeanor.

The CHP communication center in Vallejo started getting bogus 911 calls last May, then the Hayward center began getting the calls in January.

But before he was arrested, Triplette allegedly managed to call in another 10,000 calls to the police, as well as 4,000 to the Solano County Sheriff's Department, according to Lt. Chris Orrey, a spokeswoman for the Hayward Police Department.

When the investigators finally tracked Triplette down at his home in the 24000 block of Amador Street, he told arresting officers he was sorry.

When asked why he made the calks, he replied: "Because it's free.


I didn't think this deserved its own thread, but I just can't imagine being that bored. I blame lack of rap music, video games, and color television.

Seriously, if these kids want to experience a "euphoric" feeling, most drugs are probably safer. Although, the cynical ******* part of me agrees that this is simply natural selection at its finest.

See. That's the problem though. Drugs are getting harder to get. Used to be, whippets were cheap and easily obtained. Nowadays? Not so much. Same thing with huffing paint/glue/etc...

War on drugs dontyouknow.

No, but apparently strangling it out of them is pretty effective!

We used to do this when I was maybe 9 or 11 or 24.

And we'd videotape our bizarre spasms. I remember one time, Ben evacuated his bladder and we all had a really great laugh.

What the fuCk is so bad about smoking a soda-bottle bong with your buddies in the woods after school when choking each other to death is the alternative?

There is nothing wrong with weed; alcohol and tobacco are legal and their effects are at least the same if not worse. Weed's not illegal because it's more of a "gateway drug" or more harmful or addictive than alcohol and tobacco, it's illegal because the weed growers didn't have as much money to buy Congressmen as the alcohol and tobacco companies.

That was my point. In our efforts to "protect our kids" from such evil things like weed, we've left them fewer "safe" options to get high and otherwise have fun. Thus, they turn to incredibly stupid things like choking each other in order to get a buzz...

I was actually going to mention whippets too, they're an obviously safer alternative, though I don't remember them (whipped cream canisters) being hard to get in high school when I was generally making stupid decisions. I wouldn't condone whippets, but it certainly is far superior to choking your friends for a high, FFS.

As an aside, as for drugs in general, I actually work in the addictions field as a counselor, and it's interesting to see the demographics of whom is addicted to what. With all honesty though, from what I have seen weed is far less harmful and addictive than alcohol, and the rate of people I see that have ruined their lives due to alcohol addiction versus pot addiction is...well...large. (Of course, this coincides with knowledge I already had regarding that). One of the major pitfalls of weed that I have noticed is that in can be insidiously psychologically addictive- and therefore can be extremely difficult to recover from; and more often than not the catalyst for recovery seems to stem from trouble with the law or work, due to obvious reasons. However, the people that do have problems with pot are also usually the most fun to work with, because they are so incredibly educated and informed on why pot isn't all that bad. It makes for some interesting and fun discussions in my intervention group. :P

I'd rather see the day where pot is legalized, so people have a safer, less addictive and legal alternative to booze to relax and have fun. That's just me, though; and unfortunately I doubt it will ever happen, so I'm not holding my breath.

No it wasn't. You were going off on abusing commonly found legal household/grocery items. I had to steer you back in the right direction.

*That* was my point.

Here's something else that bugs me to no end: Shopping carts. They used to be perfectly designed so that you could hop on the rear axle and coast around without fear. But people didn't like that so the makers started designing the rear axle further up the base of the cart, no longer becoming an axle per se but more of a strut. This changed the center of balance, along with removing the large-item shelf on the bottom front, which added extra ballast. Or getting rid of the rear crossbar altogether and putting in v-angled supports. Now if you hop on one of these bad boys you run the risk of doing a backflip, unless you weigh down the front with a 25-lb bag of catfood and a case of beer.

Kids are going to do stupid things regardless of how difficult or dangerous we make them. We can either assure that they all die in their teens, or give them a chance to reach adulthood and learn their lessons.
