OK, nothing PERSONAL but I believe the human race is the most destructive INFESTATION to ever curse the surface of this planet and as such we are doomed to self destruct through our own greed or stupidity.

I read three newspapers ( news hardly ever the sports ) a day - have since I was 9 or 10 - and feel some of the dumbest things I've ever read seem to be happening at an increasingly alarming rate. Nothing to specific and I grant you a LOT of it is crap from lawers but still I feel it's indicative of the world in general So...I invite all of you to post stories from your papers, TV or other news. Stories that PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that our race is really too stupid to exist much longer.

I'll start.

Two stories I read yesterday.

1 - The famous beaches of Australia are threatening to shut down. The reason? Some goof showed up at BONDI BEACH last year and seeing the life guards had put up the "SAFE" flags (no sharks, no rip tides etc.) He started to body surf. He dove into a wave, hit a fucking sandbar, sued and WON three and a half MILLION DOLLARS from the town that administers BONDI.

HE dove into a wave and hit a sand bar !! The town's FAULT. $3.5 MILLION.

DUH

2- An ART thief working in Europe had collected an estimated TWO BILLION DOLLARS worth of art over the last 8 years. His style was idiotically simple. He's wait for the guards to leave a room where a painting he want was hanging...and then he'd grab it, put it under his coat (small paintings by the sound of it) and walk out. Anyway, he can't sell any of this stuff cause it's so well known so he stores it at his mothers house. About 3 weeks ago he's arrested and his mother finds out about his arrest so fearing she'll be implicated in no small way she proceeds to CUT UP ALL THE PAINTINGS WITH SCISSORS AND FEED THE STRIPS INTO HER SINK'S GARBAGE DISPOSAL!!!
The rest of the stuff she threw into a very badly polluted canal and most of what was left was ruined by the acidic scum at the bottom of canal. They estimate she destroyed TWO BILLION DOLLARS worth of this art just so she wouldn't get charged as an accomplice.

DUH!!
