"My hand was burning"
"It felt like fire"
So fucking drop it.
[QUOTE=Matrix374;35032094]your joking right?[/QUOTE]
I once knew a kid who was curious about what would happen if you ate a block of lead and often considered licking a Bunsen burner.
Kids can do some [I]really[/I] dumb shit when they've got some kind of obligation to do so.
As much as I like bagging ACA and TT (Australia's Fox News shows), there's nothing I can see in these reports that I can douche.

And I got slammed in the face [I]and[/I] burnt by an iron.
Just saying, kids are curious creatures - but there's only so many days when curiousity doesn't feel like stabbing some cats.
Have any of you watched the video?
The teacher just sits there looking smug? I wish some adult walked in and punched the guy, and then gave the children the help they needed.
He told them to write afterwards for christ sake, with severe burns.

You can totally drop something when it's burning into your hand, Just chuck some sticky burning ice away, It's easier than it sounds :downs:
It's like holding a soldering iron, Once you got grip of it for too long you can't let go.
It's not really like a soldering iron scenario or an electricity scenario, ever seen the "tounge to a light pole" gag, it's pretty much like that, but faster, and is much harder to get off.

Seriously. That teacher is a dick, but these kids are retarded.
I work with dry ice pretty often. It's not [i]that[/i] cold. You can easily hold a chunk of it in your palm for a while, as long as you wiggle it around so it doesn't stay in the same spot.
Now liquid nitrogen, that's the serious stuff.
Why would the kids PROCEED to hold it after they felt the pain?
Did the teacher make them hold it or were they just being dumb?
Even if the teacher tells you to do you DON'T have to.
[quote='Teacher']I need two volunteers, one to time it and one to hold it[/quote]
Both parties were fucking stupid.

[QUOTE=Sharker;35029671]Right, so if someone told you to shoot yourself in the foot and everyone else did it, naturally, so should you?[/QUOTE]
well yeah that's a basic psychological principle
it's not what you [I]should[/I] do, but it's what [I]does[/I] happen.

The eye-opening thing is, you need not look further than facepunch to know it can subconsciously happen to everyone when they look at ratings.
What a cunt, how could anyone possibly think holding [i]dry ice[/i] without gloves would be a good idea?
I don't see any forcing going on in that video. I see students wandering around the classroom ignoring their teacher telling them to sit down, picking up dangerous chemicals and then complaining when they get hurt.
We were given access to dry ice (also sans protection) back when I was in high school, and told not to pick it up. We did anyway, got burned and learned an important lesson about not picking up things we were told not to. Kids today whine too much.

Kids are going to be kids though aren't they? They are going to be curious and interested about things like this. In a situation like this they need someone with more intelect to guide them on what they are doing. For example if you were taking prescripted drugs and your child went near them or was playing around with them then you would obviously tell them to leave them and never touch them again. The teacher is an idiot and should know a lot better than to do something like this and allow the children to play around with something like dry ice. He is an adult after all and they are just kids. I can't understand why anyone could blame the children because there is no reason to

Even children with massive learning difficulties will stop doing something if it hurts them.
Hell, SLUGS will move away from something painful.
Those kids were continuing to hold little pellets of agony, watching while their skin warped and disfigured. There is every reason to blame them.

slugs don't live in highly complex social environments
humans do
there's so much fucking data going into us that we need some way to efficiently compress it all so as not to be overwhelmed. one way it to outsource computation to external agents - other people. the brain assumes that other people are processing the situation correctly, since the probability of the majority decision being wrong drops off as the number of people increases, assuming that each person evaluates the situation independently. however the heuristic doesn't take into account the fact that other people are using the same heuristic. this leads to disturbingly fast group consensus, leading to bizarre behaviour such as multiple cars on a road all pulling into another lane at once, causing a spontaneous traffic accident for no reason, or drinking poisoned kool-aid because everyone else is.
this behaviour is pretty much hard-wired and so is very difficult to overcome. the kids are blameless.
Ok ok, the teacher was in the wrong, but surely those fucking idiots holding a competition should have known better?
I always hated doing experiments in science classes. Such a pain and always so boring.
This reminds me of a physics class where we were supposed to just slide petri dishes on top of dry ice. Instead we all just picked it up and played with it. We were fine.

My chemistry teacher was awesome, almost always about blowing shit up or melting shit or creating other sorts of awesome shit, he also teached us how to neutralize all sorts of chemicals that affect your body, like lye and vinegar like the above video showed, though he is kinda wrong, lye will only start causing burns when it has a tiny bit of water to interact with, like sweat for example, what you want to do is if it's already causing burns, first rinse it with water for a moment THEN use DILUTED vinegar, or it will just make it worse(Vinegar and lye creates a shit ton of heat, burning you more if there's a lot of lye on you).
He was the fucking mythbusters before mythbusters :v: we actually blew out all the windows of the chemistry room once, damn that shockwave was awesome.

Put the fat old teacher into a room of dry ice.

You needed a better teacher then, some teachers make everything seem so boring, while others make even mundane stuff seem interesting.
My favourite science teacher (same one as I mentioned before) was like that, the class was never boring (whether she was blowing into a sheep respiratory track to show how air moved, or not noticing she was basically feeling herself up for 5 minutes white describing the sternum to us)
