The fundamental flaw I would say is that it gave us empathy.

I don't think that's it, empathy causes a person to see yourself in the situation of the sufferer but culture has normally set limits on that as in:
"I can empathize with you Bro but that was stupid"

People can sympathize that the selfie caused injury is painful but most can never see themselves doing that.

[scratches head, looking for profound answer.]

Ah ha!

I think what E-man was saying, is that many of us have done those stupid things, and somehow, survived.

Nothing, wrenches our hearts, like seeing a young person, relive our mistakes.

I've got four kids and there is nothing you can say or do that will make them not relive our mistakes.

So if we manage to escape from natural selection somehow , it will try to catch our children who carry our genes.

I need to PM you my address, so I can give your kids a tour of my house.

9 years ago, I asked my brother to give me a ride to the airport.
When I opened the door, he looked inside, and said; "You have to die first". :bugeye:

It really hasn't improved much.

Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but a ten minute tour of my house, will redirect your kids, in a positive direction. :angel:

spookykid #1; "Daddy, what is that smell"?
spookykid #2; "Daddy, I see dead things..."
spookykid #3; "Daddy, there are holes in his ceiling. Why are there holes in his ceiling"?
spookykid #4; "Daddy... Why? Just..., WHY, did you bring us here? Wait! Halloween is coming up. SWEET! This is the creepiest and scariest home I've ever seen. Thanks, Dad!"

:oldsmile:

http://news.nationalpost.com/news/c...leged-ketchup-assault-during-1973-police-raid
Fantino, 73, a former minister of veteran affairs who is seeking re-election to the House of Commons, is accused of assault with a weapon — a police baton — and assault causing bodily harm against John Bonnici, now 62.

Bonnici told the Toronto Sun that during the raid on Aug. 31, 1973, an officer poured ketchup down his buttocks and Fantino spread the condiment by stroking the outside of his pants with a baton.

Sorry, no picture was taken of this event but this might be an adequate substitute.
