    This is why Inspector Gadget is a terrible influence on our children.

    Cutting, Morgellon's, now embedding. . .


    PEOPLE ARE F'ING NUTS.


    You know what it is? All this self-esteem crap. You teach kids that the most important thing in the world is to love yourself. Well, guess what? Not everybody loves themself. So, voila, they feel just fine hurting themselves, punishing themselves, doing something, anything to "feel" or worse, get attention (because it's all about attention!).


    I'm a crotchety old eff compared to kids these days, but I can at least attest to one thing: a lot fewer kids did stupid shit like this when I was younger. They did *other* stupid shit, but not THIS stupid shit.


    And why? Because kids were ignored, and rightly so. They're uninteresting to anyone but to other kids, because kids are stupid. That's as it should be.

    @Daveinva: You should write a book that way you can reach a wider audience that doesn't care.

    @AcidicPlague: So glad you took the time to comment about a comment, which makes you an even greater loser than the loser that you think that I am.

    I can understand the first picture. They must have low self-esteem from being overweight.

    @pmathews: I guess the question to ask is whether or not this is more painful than diet and exercise.

    @toddbert: what an absurd question, of course it's more painful than diet and exercise, the real question is which requires the least effort.
