Consequences

Teens were ‘messing around’ at a drinking water reservoir in Portland, Oregon. One of the teens pissed in the reservoir and the city had to flush 38 MILLION gallons of water … That’s one huge flush! Anyway, there were cameras that caught the teens and the one that decided to piss in the water was arrested. I’m not sure what will happen but I hope this teen has to pay restitution for the water that was lost … yeah, like that’s going to happen.

What is with people doing stupid, hurtful, costly, etc, acts? Many things are done and then put on Youtube and they get millions of views. TV stations put these things on their newscasts too. It doesn’t even matter if these acts are breaking the law. I, for one, think that society is on a downward spiral. When I was a kid, in the 50’s, if I did some of what kids do now, my dad would have tanned my hide and the cops might have too. Nowadays many parents are even encouraging their children to come up with these stupid, senseless acts.

In today’s world it is all about outrageous acts being caught on camera and people watching them on various social sites. The more outrageous the more ‘airtime’ they get.

And, don’t even get me started on the supposedly (stupid) baby videos …
