Wow. Kids really *ARE* getting more stupid every day. Hey kids, do the world a favor, cram a few tablespoons of salt and a few icecubes up your butt, and then more in your mouth and ears. or better yet, use a tube to pour salt straight into your stomach and then swallow some ice cubes whole. Put yourselves out of our misery. Dear parents of kids who would do this: Your genes are defective. Please do not attempt to breed again.

Actually kids did this 20 years ago when I was a kid. It's nothing new. Nor do I think it's a big deal. It's stupid... I've always thought it was pointless... but really, there's worse things our kids could be doing. Much worse.

Kids aren't dumber they just do different things...If anything it's a reflection of the parents who raised them
