Random Rants VII: Why do they ALWAYS do that?!

[Mirc]

The school let that kid go lie on the bench. There were no medical professionals there to make sure he was alright, nor did they attempt to get any help. That's negligence. We have trained sports medics at all of our football games.

I agree with that. Any game of anything organized by any school (including sports where injury is much less common, like European football) MUST have a doctor present, or at least a nurse, in case there is any need for first aid. It's unbelievable that there was none, and I fully support the family receiving compensation over the poor guy's death.

Have to side with Trajan here. Heck, even back in the dark ages before most of you were born (you know, the 80s), we always had ambulances on standby at the sporting events for our school.

@salty: Nah, I just don't like being very serious.

Yes, I do feel for them, this was a tragic event.

You're very young (14), so I guess it's somewhat more forgivable. But you should realize that joking around and making sarcastic comments is NOT appropriate when someone has just died.

Depends on who died and your reputation. If your known to be an emotional cripple like me, people dont find it too disturbing.

Yeah if you want people to think of you as an "emotional cripple" go right ahead...

 

[salty mud]

What is an "emotional cripple?"

 

[LucyDuke]

Because my dad apparently is too dumb to know that you COVER YOUR BLANKETY-BLANK-BLANKING MOUTH WHEN YOU COUGH OR SNEEZE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A COLD (he has one), his head cold has spread to me and my mom.

Wonderful. I'm already sick and it's not even September.

I thought it was because of the root beer?

Also, it's not ideal to cover your mouth, at least not with your hands. I always sneeze away from people, not into my hands. In a crowd, use the inside of your elbow.

(Waiting to be corrected by someone who knows better.)

Why is 'Deviant Art' full of no-talent losers?

Mentally insane teenagers drawing endless bad pictures of Naruto!
Genetically-cursed 'mall-rock' morons and their emo photography!

And the poetry...In the name of Gygax!

If only I could send them all to a ghastly Lovecraftian dimension in
which their eyes are replaced with burning poisoned toffee apples!

How I loathe them! And their crappy Sonic Hedgehog fan-art!

Ahhhh! That felt good!

 

[salty mud]

A lot of weird people online tonight.

 

[CurtSibling]

I am weird every night, no matter where I am.

 

[salty mud]

I wasn't JUST talking about you...

 

[Trajan12]

I hate when I want to like a band/artist, but I just don't have it in me.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Yeah. Reading those comments and getting a breath of fresh air just made me realize my post was stupid.

If it makes you feel any better, this is pretty much the essence of the 9th grade expirience.

Spoiler :

Rant 'o me own: The house's main computer is down and I can't play my favorite games.

 

[salty mud]

I have a sneaky suspicion that my own PC will pack up completely and die before next Friday, just before Spore is released. Expect a much better rant if that does happen.

@bigfoot drawing:

Anyway school starts tomorrow...or better said today. I should go to sleep but I want to read a little bit more of the new book I bought.

ok, that is negligence, i agree. I have had very bad personal experiences with schools and lack of first aid trained staff on trips so THIS makes sense to me. however, suing, idk, a kid who tackled him, did not make sense to me. to work with children, i needed to be fully first-aid and CPR certified. i have no idea why medical staff weren't at a game, i completely agree with you on that.

There's some good stuff on there, I just never feel like wading through all the bad parts.

I just got back from camping, which is a good thing. I was the one that got stuck with the job of rolling up the sleeping bags and deflating the air matresses. My sleeping bag took at least ten minutes before it would fit into the god dang bag. The other went a little better but not much. And then the air matress wouldn't deflate unless I kept my finger in the little hole thingy to push down the device that made it not deflate as I slept. While I was working on this, my brother was off playing gameboy and being generally annoying.
