10-Year-Old Boy Falls Over Railing at Niagara Falls

What kind of idiot mother would allow her 10yr. old son to sit on a railing beside the Niagara Falls?

dat has always enraged me about Canada...what I call a cavalier attitude to raising children, as if there is no danger in the world.

parents do not teach children to be careful at all. and children are always joking around in impossibly stupid ways in the teeth of danger.

and I saw black west indian women who came out of a different more concerned and smarter culture when it came to personal safety adopting the same stupidity, as if it is the right way with their own children

I used to warn my wife about that with the children. do not play the arse with the children like those dumb Canadians and jackass west indian black women who think they have arrived, when they let their children run carefree, unawares in the teeth of danger

I get to the board this mawnin' an dat is the fus' ting I see, top of the list, and immediately I get pissed, angry. I hope this does not set the tone of my day. look at wat that stupidity caused...irreparable damage. will she be hurt and remorseful?

they way those people have been conditioned she is likely beyond understanding of the simplicity upon which life is built, and successful so far..the collective cultural observance and behavioral responses to obvious reality that save lives all the phucking time, makes for efficient use of time and resources, maxes happiness, builds confidence, eliminates sorrow and stupidity.

I hate phucking stupidity! I get enraged when I see stupidity..incredible avoidable stupidity.........

look at this here! I was looking for the Tobago thread to comment but it all ties in with this nonsense here:



I don't like to travel around the west indies for many reasons...this road from the st vincent airport is one reason. look at the road, long, winding hillside with no railing at all. it is utterly dangerous. many lives have been lost, are lost over roads like those.

and that st vincent road is mild compared to some in Trinidad, Tobago in particular. Tobago's roads into the countryside used to chill my soul. oh my god. vehicles go over all the time and the people take it in stride, continue to drive over them as if its absolutely normal. and the phucking governments..the members of do not live there. they live in big houses in safe places almost all the time, focused on the 'big show projects they can make to get votes, leaving the people to their ever present dangers all the time

when were those roads built..who built them originally..the colonialists?

that would make sense. they did not care about Black lives. but who paved the roads, who improved them to pitch? cud they not have widened them at the same time and put in railings so people do not go over?

if not why phucking not!!!!!! were they not thinking of the people at all?

what about the Trinidad government with all that money. they could easily build proper railings along those utterly dangerous roads in Tobago and in the interior and coasts of Trinidad...just like the government of St Vincent cud have and can do the same on that airport road.

that unconcern about obvious things that must be done to ensure simple safety I don't understand. I argue that west indian society is aware of and incorporates simply and effective responses to ensure personal safety unlike north americans:

BUT IT IS NOT A COMPLETE THING AS WE CAN SEE FROM OUR ATTITUDE TO OUR ROADS FOR ONE THING.

A LOT OF THE ROADS ARE UTTERLY DANGEROUS AND WE PAY NO ATTENTION TO THEM, ABOUT CORRECTING THEIR DANGERS ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO SO... ALTHOUGH SUCH CORRECTION SHOULD BE OF FIRST CONSIDERATION FOR THE LIVES THESE ROADS CONSUME ALL THE TIME

I am a person who cannot deal with heights at all..from the minit I knew myself. that is one reason for my anger on this issue...it is also personal. wherever I traveled in the west indies I found roads up in the air totally unprotected and utterly dangerous for the traffic on them.

I am loath to travel again for that reason. I love Tobago but Tobago is very hilly, high hills and dangerous roads. I cant deal with that at all. impossible!

but maybe they have corrected that problem..its 20 years the last time I was there

now let me see if I can save my day....

let me get into some music to start with....Ne-yo to start with. the sun is shining so I am out soon too. on flat roads. no heights today

I noticed that when we went to the Grand Canyon a few years back. A family with a toddler was letting him walk all over by himself and the edge was just a few feet away! They didn't like it when I pointed out the danger and acted like I should mind my business!

thats right David...mind yuh own business!

I imagine you are dark skin...so who are you to talk to anyone at all about how they do things.
I pay no attention if I cant move away when I see things like that...a tragedy that can happen right there by
what the stupid people do..who think they are better than you.

I move far away, get away altogether. such stupidity makes me angry and unhappy, upsets my day and time. I don't even want to read about them. I don't want such info in my head upsetting me. it pisses me off when I come to this board and run into such reports, colliding with the very thing I am trying to avoid outside.

which is why I am into such sweet tunes all day..to keep a good mood.
