how would you like to spend your last 30 min on this planet ?
think about it and start spending more time with your loved ones because, if this is any indication of things to come, the whole fucking world is going to hell.

| On a crisp, wintry morning in the east end, an elderly man lay dying on the sidewalk. But no one paid attention. Across the street, a man sat in his van, the engine idling. Groups of people walked up and down. A 20-something businessman even crossed the road in an apparent effort to avoid the 76-year-old man. It was a shocking display of apathy for Christine Carruthers, who happened to be driving past the intersection of Jones and Dagmar Aves. on Tuesday morning. "I'm sure (some people) literally stepped over him," she said in disbelief. "This was not a dangerous situation. This was a 76-year-old elderly man, lying on his back like a turtle, reaching for help. And nobody helped him." It was still dark outside so Carruthers approached cautiously, calling through the car window. When the man didn't respond, she got out and saw that his eyes were cloudy, and he was rolling from side to side with one arm reaching into the air. Lined up at his feet were a cane, reading glasses and a blue toque. It was almost as though he had "stopped, put everything down, and fell onto his back," she said. "He was just in some sort of distress," she said. "I didn't know what it was. I just knew that he needed help." Carruthers called 911 and paramedics were on scene within two minutes. The man was taken away on a stretcher and Carruthers drove to work, assuming he would recover in hospital. But later that day, she received a call from the police: the man had had a heart attack, and he passed away en route to the hospital. Carruthers said she was "blown away" by the news. What unnerves her even more, however, is the apathy she witnessed that morning. "If one person had just taken the five minutes to dial 911, this man may still be alive," she said. A neighbour identified the man as Norman Hemminger, describing him as a "very nice" man who liked to walk up and down the street. Hemminger's niece-in-law, Debbie Hemminger, said her uncle was single and lived in a rooming house. She said he had a mental disability but was very independent, always smiling and "young at heart." She said the death has hit her family hard. Hemminger began crying as she expressed her gratitude toward the woman who paused to stop and help her dying uncle. "People are so absorbed in their own lives they don't stop to look," she said. "I'm so thankful that Christine stopped to look and was there for him." |
Fucking. That's how.
Shitting, having an orgasm, sneezing, and laughing hysterically, all at the same time.
