Teens dead after drinking Mountain Dew with racing fuel

smh @ the stupidity

Just be thankful these troglodytes never bred.

@lamprey263: Again, just stop. If you really don't see how tasteless and trashy what you're doing here is, let's bring up an analogy. Imagine that I'm a die-hard anti-smoking advocate. Now imagine that I see the horrible news that your house burned down, killing you and your entire family. Now imagine that the first ****ing thing I do is say something along the lines of "see everyone, this is why you shouldn't smoke."

Then someone points out to me that there's no indication that anyone in your household ever smoked, and no indication that the fire had anything to do with smoking. At which point I say, "but it COULD have been because Lamprey was a smoker." And then I continue to turn the entire tragedy into a ****ing anti-smoking lesson, even though there's zero indication that smoking had the slightest ****ing thing to do with the tragedy.

If you seriously honestly don't see how that kind of shit is trashy as hell, then we've got nothing left to talk about here dude.

rural Tennessee

That explains some things. Really, in those places there is nothing to do with yourself and things can get weird. I feel terrible for them. It's very sad.

get off your high horse there's plenty worse on here than what I said for heaven's sake, and again you go and put words in my mouth I've done nothing to attack the victims here

no, you're fixated on me for whatever reason, I'm calling out your lack of sincerity until you address every other person who's said worse, until then, I call bullshit on your sincerity

@lamprey263: I notice that you didn't have a single defense there other than "well, other people are worse." That ain't how stuff works, dude. I don't get a pass to do something scummy just because someone else did something scummier.

BTW, the reason I focused on your posts in the first place is because you're at least pretending to be helpful. Which means that if you didn't know better before, you ought to know better once someone points out that what you're doing isn't helping. The people saying the REALLY bad stuff are clearly a lost cause, and I don't even bother wasting my time. There's nothing wrong with pot, but this story, as far as anyone can tell, doesn't have a single damn thing to do with pot. So stop trying to twist the story to be about pot.

What points? All you did in your last ramble was to say if something happened to me and you blamed me for my unfortunate situation that it'd be on me, like that's what I'm doing and how would that feel if the tables were turned. And I said exactly in my post above that I did not blame the victim, I've said this multiple times. So you say I didn't address your points in the last post; no, that was the only point you made and I addressed it. And I'm not twisting anything to this story but adding my two cents that marijuana as an alternative would go a long way to avoiding such situation; that's it. You somehow make everything I say out to be bigger that it is.

You have no ability to argue, all you've done is put words in my mouth by saying I'm saying what I'm not saying and act like you're above everyone by standing on your "I'm so serious " high horse. Get over yourself. Go back, read my original post, it wasn't that big of deal. You've got a problem man, I don't know what to say. Maybe you should deal with your own issues don't go take them out on other people. I didn't ask for you to save me, and you're being condescending. Seriously, get over yourself.

You two need to take a break. I think the point Geezer was trying to make was you shouldn't say marijuana was involved since no evidence suggests it was. That was your bad considering your response to him that it could have been. Stick with the facts. Not assumptions.

@lamprey263 No offense, but you sound like a pot head. :O

You're just as bad as him, I didn't say marijuana was involved.

@loco145: how's that?

Then what did you mean below?

There's no indication it didn't.

@LJS9502_basic: I never said it had anything to do with it though, I just said by being an available alternative that kids might avoid doing dumb make-shift mind altering substances like this, I will not apologize because someone has sand in their vagina.

Seriously, that's the extent of it. He was already on my nuts before I even said that, this is all on his dumb ass.

No it wasn't, otherwise you wouldn't have jumped on my ass when I pointed out that the natural implication here was that we should just let kids drink booze (after all, it was YOU who brought up the krokodil/heroin analogy, as if heroin doesn't kill people too).

Either we stick to our guns and advocate letting minors try out some really dangerous shit just because "freaking out" makes them try out WORSE shit, or we admit that this was an entirely pro-marijuana sentiment even though marijuana has nothing to do with the story.

@MrGeezer: My opinion is giving kids access to safer alternatives would avoid this kind of shit. Of course it isn't part of the story, that's my take on the story in context to the subject matter at hand. That's my contribution to the discussion. You and your high and mighty need to get in other peoples shit made an issue of this. And yes, I made an analogy to strengthen the position that makeshift drugs are dangerous, and that they're often alternatives when people don't have conventional means of mind altering substances. So what? Why are you so fucking obsessed with me having a goddamn opinion?

Seriously, stop bugging me. Your goddamn annoying. Like supper goddamn annoying. Seriously, just shut up.

@lamprey263

An easy solution to end a pointless argument like you two are having, is to simply ignore the other persons next response.

@foxhound_fox: I like your sig.

Kids these days, i don't get it. Whatever happen to just smoking some weed ? Is that to weak now a days ? I mean back in the day there was idiots who used to sniff up cans of some harsh chemicals, but it was only the insane. I dont' get it. I'm sure parents talk to their kids about not doing such stupid things. Peer pressure needs to be controlled. RIP to them youngsters

Apparently all the kids wanted was some weed. But then the parents freaked out, forcing the kids to straight up drink racing fuel. It's not their fault, damnit, they were forced into this by the insidious anti-pot establishment.

@MrGeezer: Pot is the solution to all medical and societal issues.

"FORCING" the kids to drink fuel -----> give me a break.

wtf, mountain dew and Racing fuel?

A friend of the family has set up a GoFundMe page with a $10,000 target, to be donated to Greenbrier High School for an alcohol and drug abuse program.

Really? Just read the article. It seems the kids ingested actual fuel(i.e. gasoline)? I thought racing fuel was a term uses for some off brand energy drink, but real gasoline? You need an education program for that?

To what end did they drink what I understand to be, at least, petrol?

IT'LL TICKLE YORE INNARDS!

LMAO!
