Just unfortunate the lazy cop was too full after eating too many doughnuts and went to fart out on the street so none of his collegues could smell him, now look where it got him.

You say you've seen much worse sure I'm sure a great deal of us have, as you said it is the internet, but that doesn't make this any less fucked up. I really hope when you are a very old man that something like this doesn't happen to you. Because I'm sure if you were laying in the street helpless you would pray to whatever you believe in hoping you didn't die alone in the street.Quote:

I think the first person went back in the shop to phone. Sadly just a reflection of the modern day western society. People are frightened to get involved in anything.:(
Now lets not turn this into a Euro vs USA thing please. Many many people would stop and help immediately as I and hundreds of other construction workers helped with the recovery effort the 3 nights after 911 here in NYC it just so happens people seemed to gawk more at this poor old man rather than try and help him. People in general suck ass not just U.S. Americans. :)
penguins > people
So I've been wondering about how it looked when seedler got run over.
Thnx for pics.
What the fuck are you on about? :blink:Quote:

Detale (and I) presume he means the USA as that is where the incident took place.
The sun was full frontal in their eyes, does not really help as an excuse.
I'm not certain of his exact condition but I've read one article stating he is "paralyzed and remains in critical condition."Quote:

Another said, "The victim's daughter, who cried openly at the press conference, said that her father was fighting for his life from his hospital bed."
Fucking tragic.
'Western Society' does not refer exclusively to the US. It refers to the British as well. You remember us? We're that little island off the coast of Europe that looks like a lady wearing a dress.
Fuckwits.
And yes, it is a disgrace that anyone would walk past anyone in need of help, let alone stand and take photographs of them.
Who said "western world" references don't include the UK? No one. Let's not put words in my mouth.
I never said it referred to the USA exclusively either.
It seemed implied to more than myself that the reference was directed at the USA seeing as the incident occurred there. If I'm wrong, surely bigboab will speak up and correct us.
I think perhaps what threw you is the self-effacing nature of your average Brit...it's a bit of a national trait. No-one enjoys slagging off the British as much as them themselves. Therefore, when something shitty happens in the US as a result of a corrupt society it seems perfectly natural for us to ride in its wake in a desperate attempt to absorb some of the shame.
EHS
Laying aside the latest trend wherein all such cars seem to be driven by illegal aliens, I'd say there are some parallels in the behaviors of the driver and the onlookers.
"Afraid to get involved" has morphed into "not my problem".
Life is a fucking movie for too many people, as demonstrated by our colleague fisherman, who, as he says, "has serious probs in my life".
Whatever problems he may have, empathy is certainly not amongst them.

http://www.chicoer.com/mngi/tracking...6&t=VIEWED&n=1 Two Chicoans being considered for heroism award
CHICO — Two people who helped rescue a driver from his overturned fuel tanker truck have been placed in nomination for prestigious Carnegie medals for heroism. California Highway Patrol officer Justin Maxey said the Pittsburgh, Pa.-based Carnegie Hero Fund Commission contacted him after reading about the recent actions of Dan Zapeda, Karrie Alexander both of Chico.
On March 26, Zapeda and Alexander were traveling in separate vehicles on Highway 99 at the Skyway exit when they saw a fuel tanker truck overturn on an onramp, trapping the driver inside.
Alexander stopped to help, despite having her young daughter in her vehicle, and began kicking out a front window in the cab of the truck.
Zapeda said he climbed onto the passenger side door of the cab, was able to open it, and pulled driver Nathaniel Lawson, 57, out through the opening.
All three immediately scrambled away from the tanker truck, which had just taken on 7,400 gallons of diesel fuel, and was also carrying gasoline.
Zapeda and Alexander said the driver was motioning them to get away from the truck, but he was injured and they felt he would remain trapped in the cab without their help.
"City officials later acknowledged that police received four 911 calls immediately after the incident, and release portions of two calls on Friday."
I would of called 9-1-1, but I don't think I would of tried to move the guy for fear that I would cause more damage.

Last I checked it tended to include my country.
EDit: I've never, ever heard of anyone using it to refer only to the U.S. before. That's a new one.
EDit: Heck, it generally includes Australia and New Zealand.
So now British women are fat eh?Quote:

french women never gets fat :wub:
i wonder why
You know what, I was going to do a list but then I realised I couldn't really include Europe because they'll let anyone in these days. And then I thought Australia and New Zealand are kind of East more than West in geographical terms and I wasn't sure if that was meant to be a component of the definition.Quote:

Wikipedia says it can include any country with a culture inheriting from europe, or something.Quote:

Now I see why people want to destroy the western world, it'd be a damn good way of getting rid of most of the idiots.
Western world = America?
How sad, but not entirely unexpected :rolleyes:.
The requirements to graduate from an American high school.

Honestly I know alot of you guys here are way smarter than I would care to be but have you never heard of the USA been refered to as the western world?? It's not an uncommon thing at all
Check the Wiki Perhaps you might learn something as well
Apparently YOU misheard as said above it's quite commonly referred to as the WestQuote:

I'd like to add that I can't find anywhere in that Wiki link where it says the term has ever been used to describe North America alone.
Anyone can make spurious claims but if you're the only one in support of them and the rest of the world doesn't have a clue what you're on about you should probably accept that you have a warped definition of reality.
