What the hell is wrong with people?

[Thorne]

So in reading two separate stories today, I find myself wondering what the hell is wrong with people -- and if maybe our society's "every human is valuable" philosophy might be self-destructive and we'd be better off dumping some of these idiots on the trash heap.

I've never been a believer in "every human is valuable." There are just some people who don't deserve the air they breathe.

First, there's an argument in Los Angeles about who's first in line and McDonald's and some guy starts beating up on a 16-year old girl: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,431163,00.html

And this guy's one of them. Isn't that a wonderful lesson to teach your kids?

Second, there's a kid on a building ledge in Derby, England and the crowd yells at him to jump, then rushes forward to take pictures with their cell phones when he does: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,431195,00.html

I wonder if there's any way the cops could find those people and charge them with abetting a criminal act. Suicide is against the law, you know. So wouldn't inciting someone to commit suicide be on a par with second degree murder?
