Re: McDonalds employees set world record for idiotcy

I'm not saying that you guys would force an underage girl to give you head. but it's easy to say "god, people are so dumb sometimes." and it annoys me when it's dismissed as being that simple. it's not. it's human nature. and blaming it on so-called stupidity isn't doing anything to help the problem. [/ QUOTE ] It's not stupidity, it's evil. How do you think the Holocaust happened?

many of the participants continued to administer the shocks until the subject "passed out." [/ QUOTE ] Actually, many participants continued to administer the shocks even after the actor "passed out" and quit responding to it.

Re: McDonalds employees set world record for idiotcy
[ QUOTE ]
does anyone else think it's possible that any of us would do something comparably irresponsible in this situation? seriously. I don't think this has much to do with intelligence. I think it has to do with a subscription to authority. there was a psychological study a while back on the effects of authority (I forget the name of it, maybe someone knows). some random people were told they were participating in a study on the effects of electricity on the human body. they were sat in front of a video monitor where they could see their human subject (an actor), and a control pad for administering different "shocks." they were told to administer higher and higher levels of shocks until the actor would be writhing on the floor in pain. many of the participants continued to administer the shocks until the subject "passed out." I'm not saying that you guys would force an underage girl to give you head. but it's easy to say "god, people are so dumb sometimes." and it annoys me when it's dismissed as being that simple. it's not. it's human nature. and blaming it on so-called stupidity isn't doing anything to help the problem. [/ QUOTE ] stanley milgram was the psychologist. i mentioned this study right at the start of this thread but no one seemed to pick up on it. everyone wants to call the people "stupid" which is easy to disassociate themselves w/ these people. IQ doesnt make people follow orders. it is mindboggling to watch this and believe it happened but study the milgram experiment or the standord prison experiment which someone else mentioned and youll be amazed what people will do when confronted w/ authority. one note, the actors in the study werent visible to the participants. the participants were listening to tape recordings of people scream so the stimuli was the exact same each and every time.

Re: McDonalds employees set world record for idiotcy
to everyone here saying how stupid ppl are, and going on about the "manager" who got the blow job, DID ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY WATCH THE VIDEO? he's NOT the manager, he doesn't even work there, and HE WAS THE GIRL'S FIANCE! the 58-yr-old "maintenance worker"/janitor REFUSED TO FOLLOW THE COMMANDS of the police impersonator. it amazes me how you're all in uproars about the "stupidity" of these ppl involved (perhaps deservedly so), yet so many of you are discussing the incident while completely confused about some of the basic facts of the case. ironic. finally, one more thing about the fiance: besides it being really creepy that this balding, seemingly middle-aged bubba was engaged to a high schooler, how he got charged with sodomy and sexual abuse with the possibility of getting 35 yrs in prison is beyond me.

[/ QUOTE ] what a wonderfully insightful post. btw, his fiance was the middle aged assistant manager (donna jean summers), not the high school employee.

LOL, no, YOU got it wrong. He was not the girl's fiance. He was the manager's fiance. [/ QUOTE ] lol, just watched the report a second time, it wasn't made clear that he was donna summers's fiance until near the end when they say donna summers broke off the engagement upon seeing the surveillance tape. the first reference to him was only as "her" fiance. but yes, my bad!
