NEWS: Boy Hospitalized After Imitating Naruto in Sandbox

I'll place up a fine example: The people here keep bringing up issues of "what were the parents doing?". Such issues arise because we allowed such morons to reach adulthood and obtain responsibility they cannot hold. And because such morons got the chance to make kids, the kids grow off the already-stupid parents, resulting in more morons. I'm saying such bloodlines need to be cut off somewhere. I am pretty sure we could use the resources they use up to better use somewhere else. I am sure we can do better than making a world where the stupid can live.

I was about to ask "... and WHERE were the parents...?" but then I realized ten years old is at the point where you shouldn't need your parents watching you 24/7, and you should realize that no air leads to brain damage leads to death.

Step back a bit... okay? Okay. This kid was TEN. By the time you're ten, you SHOULD be smart enough to distinguish reality from fiction and know you aren't f*cking Gaara!

Quoted for truth. Yes, ten is young, but do you guys remember what you were like when you were 10? When I was 10 my friends and I pretended to be Digimon and DBZ characters all the time... but we knew that if one of us actually shoved another off a jungle gym or something that it was going to hurt, and certainly knew that if we friggin buried someone head first in the ground they would sufficate! We were perfectly content with running around shouting "pepper breath!"

Bottom line is all these kids are just stupid.

"There is a sandbox in the back yard, and Quantrille says his children told him Cody came up with the idea that they should bury him, head first, in the sand."

Well, there you have it, that's why the kid almost died. Hopefully he was not oxygen-deprived long enough to cause permanent damage.

I'm sorry, but 10 year olds should know you have to be able to breathe to live.

And since this is in the backyard of someone's home, adults should have been at least looking out on the kids a few times.. often enough to see them buring Cody's head!

When I first read the headline I thought for just a moment the kid was reenacting the attack on the leaf by playing with snakes. Like he made a few sand buildings and tossed his brother's pet snake in the sand box.

I must the only person here that finds this funny.

To everyone who thinks this is funny, it isn't.

King Arthur you have been listening to your professors to much. I respect you for your opinions and knowledge. You, in a sense, believe in psychological egoism. I know you know what that is. Yes, take into consideration that even your answer to our problems will turn to a problem. Your answer promotes some sort of a centralized government control, and oh God how terrible that would be. Your dream would not be a possibility, but history has shown us that it would not work.

Altruism seems to be useless in the evolutionary chain, but how come we have it. Evolution only goes with luck and eventuality, and we humans have a lot more control than that, but of course we abuse it. I see how you are thinking the way you are thinking, but please reconsider your stance on your utilitarian society. Think of the books "The Giver" and "1984", see how your stance would not work.
