Ok, so today I went into my town to buy the new Batman game, and rushed back to the bus station trying to catch the soonest bus, instead i missed it and was there for nearly half an hour and near ish the end, an old lady sat on the bench a few seats from me start like slipping of her chair while her arms looked kind of locked, at first i stared a little and realised somthing was wrong, i looked around and other people were doing the same.. kind of. i walked quickly over to her but then some security, i think it was, pushed me out the way and checked her pulse i wanted to help but with them there they probably knew more than me, and while they were doing that i took another glance around and i saw people actualy looking at her and laughing. And not one other person (oh sorry there was another guy in his twentys) that came over they just looked, some of them laughed and then continued to mindlessly stare at the parking lot for their buses. now i knew people were shallow but this? this was somthing else. Out of a room filled with roughly 60 people 2 of use walked over. And right now all i keep going over in my head is that i should have got up straight away, and can't keep myself from knowing that those other people probably wouldnt have even considered it.
Humanity is fucked up, we've known this forever. Pretty fucked up story, though.
yup.
How's the Batman game? Is it good?
People are selfish, takes effort to think of others.

Why don't you put on a mask and go be a vigilante murdering people who break the law?

[QUOTE=ssa gib A;16987603]How's the Batman game? Is it good?[/QUOTE] yeah its minted played it for like nearly 12 hours straight and only 40% done.. off topic much?
Should of used your Batman detective skills to save the day.
They're all going to hell. Don't worry about it.
People are fucked up, pretty old concept... But still, I'm surprised at the laughing part
I would have laughed.
i'm waiting for the day i find a multi car collision where bodies go flying just to see how i'd react.
People suck. I say mass genocide.
[QUOTE=Kybalt;16987777]I would have laughed.[/QUOTE] Fuck off. That's pretty awful. I'd fucking hate to see something like that.
The absolute truth you learn in life is that people are horrible, corrupt creatures not worthy of the air they breathe. OP has just learned this lesson.
It's probably the social bystander effect which inhibits a person when in a group from supporting another, even in the event of death. The majority will be frozen and won't even call for emergency services. However, some may, or an individual, will support or call for additional support.
"[b]HUMANITY FUCKING SUCKS[/b] (apart from me of course I'm cool)" That's pretty much all this thread is now.
That's pretty sad. Some people may have not known how to react though, or that most human idea that it was 'Someone Else's Problem' (though that is pretty cold).
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;16987830](apart from me of course I'm cool)[/QUOTE] Snip.
[QUOTE=Fidchell;16987846]Wrong.[/QUOTE] Read editing post.
That's terrible. Those people are complete assholes. I'm just not capable of saying anything actually intelligent. I'm truly shocked. Where do you live?
[QUOTE=Kybalt;16987777]I would have laughed.[/QUOTE] Me too. At the people laughing at the old lady, their lives are probably p. pathetic.
More than half of the time people'd only do shit if it benefited them somehow. Dumb idiots.

Actually, people don't just laugh because something is funny. They laugh to communicate with each other, so they clearly were not laughing at the old lady. Don't expect sixty-plus people to go and help when I single person has a seizure, two people probably seemed like enough.
[QUOTE=ben bellis;16987949]Lancaster, Lancashire, England[/QUOTE] Fucking chavs. Now I understand completely.
