Topic: ...and they did NOTHING!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8644413.stm

Saw the CCTV video on the news last night... watched a good man bleed to death for an hour... because every [slurmy] townie that saw him couldn't be bothered to take 30 seconds out of their day to call a [lardy] Ambulance...

I bet the closest anyone came to doing the right thing was thinking "Oh, he's homeless"....

"So, it's defeat for you, is it? Someday I must meet a similar fate..."

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

worthless [gravy-sucking pigs], I hate news like this.

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

our cities train people not to get involved

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

It's true. He is the IC-Pope!

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

OUR cities train you to stand, watch, tut, and say "Oh how terrible!" "Yeah, but what can you do?"

...

how about call a [beep]ING AMBULANCE? X(

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

I once shook a tramp.

Turned out he was asleep and would rather have been unshaken.

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

I like my tramps stirred, not shaken.

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

In a city where streets are numbered and in straight lines and crossing eachother in a geometricly sublime way, that's just plain stupid...
Besides, no one bothered to assist the man personally themselves. They might have phoned 911, but never showed true compassion..

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

Thinking about it... is that enough... to JUST call 999?
What's the bare, socially acceptable, minimum?

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

Exactly Fokker!

"Better get out of here, I might get associated with a bum! Or even worse! I'll have to answer police questions!"

Over here, those people who did nothing would be sued for failing to do their civic duty..

Re: ...and they did NOTHING!

Well as an experienced tramp shaker I have to say that this is not just an American malaise. The particular tramp I shook was slouched on the ground in a strange position as if he had fallen over sideways from a sitting position, he was not moving and could not visibly seen to be breathing. Basically he looked like he might have been dead or unconscious. This was at rush hour next to one of the main entrances to Waterloo train station (one of the busiest stations in London). Thousands of people must have walked past him. It's quite a strange sight to see an unconscious person slumped against a wall at the entrance to a train station and all the people that went by looked at him (so it wasn't as if they didn't notice) but decided to carry on walking, probably in case they missed their train and had to wait 15 minutes for the next one. Personally I thought it was pathetic that people could just walk by and just not care if this guy was in serious trouble or not. He could have lain there for a week within a stones throw of one of the most famous hospitals in the country. So I am proud to be a tramp shaker. Even if said tramp would frankly have rather I left him alone.

But anyway, my point was this particular case might be from the USA but it could equally well happen in the UK and I imagine anywhere. The world is a terrible, heartless place, so we may as well all just top ourselves now.

Take that, people optimistic about how fundamentally good mankind is!
