hey I feel sorry for the family too. its horrible. but millar's statement that the kid is an idiot is correct. he did not try to commit suicide he made a dumb move and died
i'm not blaming anyone here. as the father of a five year old, its hard to predict what kids are going to do. i know ten is much different than five, but i can easily picture a ten year old not understanding that this would really kill him - death is so often fake on television. what's worse is that he may have known exactly what he was doing. its tragic either way. the only think i can think of to say to prevent these things is that parents need to keep a constant open dialog with their kids. but you can never predict everything they are going to do. i know when i was a kid that age, i pulled a lot of stunts that easily could have killed me.
can we blame it on television? i don't know. but i find it odd that the government is looking to take action against the man who took the video and released it, but has yet to request that the media not show it. they shouldn't ban it, but i think leaders should appeal to peoples' reason.
he's a fucking 10 year old, not fully developed mentally. he obviously had some issues going on...yet you just label him an "idiot". it's fucking disgusting....have a heart! a child is dead (i bet you'd be upset if it was a fucking fetus!)
soooooooo did he hang himself like an idiot because of seeing sadamm, or because he had issues? And Ill bet you'd applaud if a mother hung her own fetus.
It's all the more reason why they should've played the video all the way through. Maybe if this kid had seen exactly what happens, he wouldn't have been so curious to find out.

Idiot is a word derived from the Greek ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs ("layman," "person lacking professional skill," "a private citizen," "individual"), from ἴδιος, idios ("private," "one's own").[1] In Latin the word idiota ("ordinary person, layman") preceded the Late Latin meaning "uneducated or ignorant person."[2] Its modern meaning and form dates back to Middle English around the year 1300, from the Old French idiote ("uneducated or ignorant person"). The related word idiocy dates to 1487 and may have been analagously modeled on the words prophet and prophecy.[3]The word has cognates in many other languages.
In modern English usage, the terms "idiot" and "idiocy" describe an extreme folly or stupidity, its symptoms (foolish or stupid utterance or deed). In psychology, it is a historical term for the state or condition now called profound mental retardation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot
The way you are using the term "Idiot" is obviously meant to carry the social stigmatization it's adopted from a mob of self-servant chemical scum. Your use of the term in such a way could suggest you are "uneducated and ignorant" and therefor a real idiot.
A child, 10 years old, does not have the capacity of reasoning to be an "Idiot" by your definition of the term.
The prefrontal cortex is the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain, lying in front of the motor and premotor areas. Cytoarchitectonically, it is defined by the presence of an internal granular layer IV (in contrast to the agranular premotor cortex). Divided into the lateral, orbitofrontal and medial prefrontal areas, this brain region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behaviors, personality expression and moderating correct social behavior.
The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals.
The most typical neurologic term for functions carried out by the pre-frontal cortex area is Executive Function. Executive Function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable or illegal outcomes). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_cortex
The prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until around 20 years of age. :cool:
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
Well, here is one source for that last bit of information.
"The teen's gray matter waxes and wanes in different functional brain areas at different times in development. For example, the gray matter growth spurt just prior to puberty predominates in the frontal lobe, the seat of "executive functions"—planning, impulse control and reasoning." http://www.nimh.nih.gov/Publicat/teenbrain.cfm
You could just take my word for it that I've actually learned this shit. :cool:

it wasnt a suicide. it was an accident. only idiots make such stupid mistakes
No! Only stupid parents watch hanging videos with their ten years old children.
I normally don't a have a problem with black humor but please stop calling that child an idiot, stupid or whatever...
It's really sad :(

i was pretty shocked by the whole thing, i couldn't believe they televised a hanging, didn't they used to do that somewhere in hopes of teaching the masses a lesson? it felt medieval and grotesque. but then the world wanted him dead, should they then not face the consequences of that wish? i don't know, but i had trouble watching it (and yes, i thought he was a horrible 'man')
No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.

I just read a lot and have a particular passion for this type of research. Thanks for the compliment though.
Certainly if this child had a guardian present he wouldn't have comitted this act, on the other hand, we can't expect parents to be constantly supervising their children. I would say this is a very unfortunate chance occurance exacerbated by media coverage of the event and the fast-paced lifestyle of our modern era.

Kids try what they see and they don't realize that they can get hurt. I just saw on the Philly news station the other day that some 10 and 12 yr olds were getting hurt jumping out of the window like they saw the guys of Jackass do in Jackass #2. Kids just don't think before they leap...so to speak and it's so tragic that sometime's it's deadly. I look back on some of the make believe games and stunts that I've pulled when I was a kid and I'm lucky I didn't get seriously hurt or worse. My heart goes out to the family.
soooooooo did he hang himself like an idiot because of seeing sadamm, or because he had issues? And Ill bet you'd applaud if a mother hung her own fetus.

I don't have to be smart to read a textbook. It doesn't take a genius to believe what it reads either. What kind of person does it take to ignore it though?
Yesterday I went shopping with my brother, again sunday of course. I finished about 20 mins earlier than he did, so I stood outside and waited. During that time I had the opportunity to observe people. I observed a family, where it was obvious the mother was mentally underdeveloped, some of you would say "stupid", I think she may have actually been clinically retarded. There was a striking difference between her and her children, although her children also acted stupid, they clearly weren't. My guess is they haven't had the proper environment to develop their intelligence, it's also possible the same goes for their mother. It could be a family thing that has perpetuated through generations. Perhaps their family descends from an underprivledged family of servants or something. I don't know, but I'm certainly not going to draw any conclusions or say "They are all just fucking stupid" as if they have a choice in the matter.
