pissing in the gene pool.

further proof that I'm dead inside: I've been repulsed by news stories involving children.

am I the only one that questions the "miraculous" nature of that kid in utah being rescued after wandering around in the woods for four days? the fucking kid was HIDING from the search parties. I'm not sure who I want to blame for that, the stupid kid or his stupid parents who have the kid so utterly paranoid of "stranger danger" that he won't even ask for help when he direly needs it.

a local story on the news last night was also talking about a two year old kid who locked himself in a parked car tuesday. it was 85 degrees that day. and I believe the kid was locked in the scorching car for two hours. again, stupid parents, but what kind of fucking kid can LOCK a door but not unlock it? and why did he not realise instantly that he shouldn't be sitting in a car that was well over a hundred degrees on the inside?

I figure in both cases, the survival of the child is horrible for humanity in general. be it the fault of the parents or the children, their survival means this idiocy is just going to be passed on to future generations. modern society has gone too far in coddling morons. these people need to be pruned from our family tree.

yeah yeah, I'm an asshole.

how the kid could get locked in the car: child safety locks. i'm guessing a 2 year old isn't smart enough (or even aware) that you could roll down the window (provided that said windows aren't electric) & open the door that way. the kid was probably left strapped in it's carseat too. idiots. sometimes i hate people.

no, they said the kid got into the car himself without the parents' knowledge. and the car was locked from the inside, they couldn't get the kid out because the doors were actually locked. child locks only work from the inside, not the outside.

it wasn't one of those "I'm just gonna run into this crackhouse to get my fix and leave junior in the car" type of deals...
