Strange things people are doing nowadays

[9eagle9]

Its not an argument its an observation.

If one wants to view different as special, entitled, and superior then we have the elite and the cabalists.

Different doesn't necessarily mean entitled, superior, and special it means different. But people are quick to take it that way.

The way I see it is that there are those that care about others and have some sense of compassion and those that don't, call 'em whatever you want to call them. Elite and cabal are too kind of labels for the ones who have no compassion and want to ruthlessly control and or exterminate us.

A Texas mom was found naked and eating ice cream at a drug store after having crashed her car into a bus and abandoned her three kids at the scene, according to police.

Added: seems a lot of these "strange" cases involves people with the need to be naked, wonder what's up with that?

You're 100% correct, but if you're actually here to accomplish something then eventually you have to put all of the moralizing "Shoulds" aside and ask yourself what simply "Will" work on most people? People do take it to mean that way, and if you don't recognize and try to work with that in mind you're going to be very quickly misunderstood and that makes demonizing you trivial. I actually misunderstood your position quite a lot at first exactly because of this. This'd be me apologizing for that, and also me attempting to offer some food for thought in case that sort of misunderstanding is a common problem. If you'd prefer presenting yourself in a way that feels more authentic, but requires much more effort to approach, that's your prerogative.

[9eagle9]

I don't know what will work on people. Certainly not a mass plan because everyone is different. Some people really want to know how to help themselves, some people want to be taken care of and resist the notion that they can actually do something for themselves, and some people are not in the least aware that anything is really wrong.

I am not attempting to be cryptic and being as straightforward as possible , but people ARE different and this is part of how their differences are reflected.

And of course some people are snacking on other people's faces. I think we can agree there we are a tad different than the face cuisine folks...

It would be really sad that our only commonality now is we are not eating body parts....lol.

[the_vast_mystery]

Different yes, but different how? You really can't understand that without sending a psychologist in to do a complete diagnosis. This is what isn't often explored fully, what is it that makes these people so different? A lot of Research into behaviorism and child abuse suggests that the environment one grows up in plays a massive role in the individual produced. There are always exceptions but we can in some cases use science to map out risk factors and get a level of certainty as to how humans will generally handle their affairs. It's not an easy thing to do because science is not shy about making fools of us all. But for a start most people don't actually form beliefs on any rational basis, they do not respond to any logical or reasoned engagement whatsoever and in fact if you attempt to engage people with facts it only reinforces their beliefs.

I have my own speculation that, at least after my own self-evaluation that beliefs are there to cover up mental/emotional insecurities, themselves created by varying forms of trauma and that people will only change their beliefs willingly if you can offer them a completely new way to get the same satisfaction they had before. Put another way, suppose you just leave a store with a bag of healthy groceries you got to make meals with. Beside you is someone who looks disheveled and is purchasing a bunch of boxed TV dinners. You can tell them what they're doing unhealthy, even try shaming them for it, but that's likely just going to make them want even more TV dinners. if you were to instead to befriend them over time, talk to them thoughtfully, extoll the virtues of healthy food and take a good deal of time to show that person how to cook many delicious but healthy meals and how to pick good produce then they may very well give up their former habit. (If it in fact was not directly caused by something deeper and more personal such as depression or other mental illness) It would require a lot more work on your part and it's not particularly fair either because they're not your problem and they got into their problem themselves. However if it's the only way to get them reliably eating healthy on their own, you have to ask whether or not you'd really like to see that other person living and eating healthy or whether you'd rather just feel better about yourself that you're not THAT person who eats only TV dinners.

You are attempting to be straightforward, and yes it is our problem that we don't immediately understand you. However like the person eating healthy food, if you want to succeed at getting people off of junk then you have to work with whatever complex issues led that person to feeling they needed to eat junk. It's not something that you may even be able to do except privately on a one on one basis, but if your public persona is telling everyone they're idiots for eating junk...well it's probably going to throw off a lot of well meaning people who you might've otherwise helped or even helped you because it creates the image of you being someone who just wants to get on their high horse about how other people do nothing but eat Junk (and they assume you're saying that from a perspective of claiming superiority, because that's the only reason they could imagine someone would.) That doesn't mean you even have to stop saying that people do nothing but eat junk. It does however mean that more creativity needs to be paid in how you inform people that are eating junk. You could, for instance, do that by showing studies about the harmfulness of food additives, extolling the benefits of healthy food, etc. These are all roundabout ways of doing it because really for a lot of people they need to be the one who makes that dot connection which says "I'm doing something that's bad for myself, it's harming me and making my life miserable. I need to change." Some people will never come over, but by not being so publicly confrontational you avoid yourself the extra frustration of being attacked for just trying to aid others.

I'm still trying to figure that out more myself. A new way of presenting what I have to say so it's not overtly offensive or insulting to anyone but lays bare how certain things are wrong for anyone who is paying attention. Just my two cents.

stumbling on more face eating hype:

Once again in Florida? hmmm? and once again the "zombie" has the urge not only to eat another, but to get naked first before doing so.....hmmm? very strange indeed!

Latest 'zombie' eating attack: Man under the influence gets naked, bites off chunk of man's arm

PALMETTO, Fla. - The latest in a string of “zombie” like attacks happened in a Manatee County home Wednesday night after a man under the influence went into a fit of rage and bit a piece of someone’s arm off during a visit with his children.

Much like the Miami face-eating attack, 26-year-old Charles Baker got naked, ate human flesh and wouldn’t go down without a fight, according to a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report.

Authorities say Baker went to his girlfriend’s home on 25th St in Palmetto to visit his kids at 10:15 p.m. They say he was high on an unknown substance when he knocked on the door, then barged in, began yelling and taking off his clothes.

He was screaming and wouldn’t calm down, then began throwing furniture around the home.

Jeffery Blake, who lives in the home, attempted to restrain Baker, but the suspect bit him, taking chunk of his flesh from his bicep. a Blake, 48, was able to get Baker to the ground and kept him there until two deputies arrived.

When law enforcement came inside, Blake released Baker. Baker got up, but would not respond to deputies orders.

The suspect instead faced the deputies, tensing his body, clenching his fists and screaming. Baker, still naked, acted like he was going to rush the deputies, according to the report.

Deputy Wildt deployed his an electronic control device after giving a verbal warning.

Baker fell to the ground, and then tried to get back up, so Deputy Wildt deployed the device again. Baker pulled the probes out, so deputy Blake deployed his electric shock device.

Another "zombie-like" attack? Man eats family dog after police say he ingested synthetic drug K-2

WACO, Texas - Police in Waco arrested 22-year-old Michael Daniel Monday after they say he ate a dog.

Family members called police on June 14th, saying Daniel assaulted people at the home, chased a neighbor and started barking and growling.

What happened next is horrific.

Witnesses say Daniel grabbed the family dog, beat and strangled it...then started to eat it.

For some reason, I am leaning toward the theory that people are being remote controlled to do weird stuff. Why???? thats the 2 million dollar question. Just a hunch.

[the_vast_mystery]

If anyone reads Naomi Wolfe's facebook she's been digging into this Zombie trend and so far it smells of manufactured paranoia. She said in many cases these stories are being generated off of a single report and not being double checked by any journalists or their editors. By all accounts I think someone's trying to create a panic.

[Earthship]

"(CNN) June 28, 2012 -- Updated 0124 GMT (0924 HKT) -- The naked Florida man who chewed off the face of another man last month in a zombie-like cannibal attack used marijuana but not "bath salts" as police had suspected, authorities said Wednesday (...) The department has also sought the assistance of an outside forensic toxicology reference laboratory, which has confirmed the absence of 'bath salts,' synthetic marijuana and LSD," the statement said".

So, "bath salts", presented as the main cause for this weird behaviour, were ruled out....

[SilentFeathers]

Hmmm? Can't have zombies without a vampire or two also! What's next? werewolves!

Is a vampire on the loose in Corpus Christi?

Police say a 16 year old boy was walking down Shoreline Boulevard near Corpus Christi Bay Wednesday night, when he accidentally bumped into a man, who turned around and bit him in the neck.

Of course people have been doing strange things since the beginning of time, but recently I've noticed a radical spike in odd behavior....seems people are either waking up or going completely insane lately, the line in the center or the middle ground seems to be thinning in recent years in my opinion. We may be reaching a point in time to "draw the line" so to speak and people are either going to be considered sane or insane......hmmm? something "strange" is happening to the behavior of humanity from my perspective in recent years.....

What insane means, is as relative as "who am I"?

friggin' brilliant Fred ... brilliant ...

Must be something in the air or in the water down there in Florida....

July 11, 2012
ST. AUGUSTINE — Another bizarre zombie style case of craziness.

A naked Florida man leapt from a rooftop and then bit a chunk of flesh from a man’s stomach early Saturday, police say.
St. Augustine police say they were called at 4:30 a.m. when a man was spotted destroying lawn furniture. He then allegedly climbed on a roof and jumped on the hood of a truck. Police said two residents at the house awoke to investigate but the man tackled them and bit one of them in the stomach as they held him for police.
It took five officers and several Taser zaps to subdue the man, and three officers were kicked or bit during the arrest, police said.

I was waiting to see a company trying to make a buck over these strange zombie like events

Company Selling Zombie Preparedness Kit For $24,000


Preparing for a zombie apocalypse does pay off, but it’s hard work. Although battling the hordes of eBay bidders and gathering everything piecemeal could be one preferred method, an Illinois-based company has created an easier way.

Optics Planet created a one-stop solution for zombie battlers everywhere called Z.E.R.O.

Z.E.R.O., short for Zombie Extermination, Research and Operations, is a kit that contains everything someone would need to keep alive in the end times. Initially priced at $31,375, the kit has been discounted to $23,999 with delivery available to the customer’s home or armed complex.

The kit contains a number of items for standard survival, including a first aid kit, an entire box of batteries, solar panel, and several packs to carry gear.

Optics Planet also includes science equipment such as syringes, a few beakers, and a microscope. The company, however, warns that customers should “search for a cure or you’ll search for a grave.”

Perhaps the most interesting equipment that Z.E.R.O. contains are the pieces with offensive capability. There’s a custom holographic sight with a biohazard reticle, a custom-made zombie fighting knife, and tactical gloves with ridged knuckles.

Optic Planet insists that “punching zombies is the most fun you can have.” But if punching is not your style, Optics Planet includes an OPMOD Battle Mug.

“You can go from thirst-quenching to death-dealing in less than .45 seconds,” the company says in its packaging. “We tested that.”

Despite the discounted rate and the zombie mania that’s sweeping the nation, Optics Planet has not sold very many Z.E.R.O. kits.

Brian Weiss, marketing team leader for Optics Planet, told CBS Atlanta that “it’s more of a novelty item.”

“We have a lot of stuff already that are related to zombies, and we thought it would be fun to put together a collection of all that stuff,” Weiss said.

Although the chances of a zombie outbreak are slim, Z.E.R.O. kits serve another purpose.

“We wanted to raise awareness of what could people need in a survival situation, like with the weather we’ve been having lately,” Weiss told CBS Atlanta. “We want to get people thinking about what they could use. “

Wow! this dude really got messed up bad!

Exclusive: For The First Time, Cannibal Victim Speaks

Two months after he was viciously attacked on the MacArthur Causeway by the so-called Miami Zombie, Ronald Poppo succinctly summed up the events that captured the country’s attention.

“He attacked me,” Poppo said of Rudy Eugene. “He just ripped me to ribbons. He chewed up my face. He plucked out my eyes. Basically that’s all there is to say about it.”

My girl friend and I have recently been noticing that people (as in customers and patrons, we help) have been very edgy lately, almost crazed, like people are devolving into very ego driven personalities. What I am trying to say I guess is lately people have been acting like a**holes to each other and to the enviroment around them. We have been just jokingly saying, a solar flare must have just erupted from the sun. Truly though I do think cosmic super events do kinda play a role, I don't think you can blast a bio-electrical system with outside energy and have nothing happen to it... just saying...

[9eagle9]

Yeah our brain and neurological functions are dependent on electromagnetic energy, so any external blast of EM is bound to have some sort of effect. Depending on the person this could be a beneficial effect or it could drive people nuts.
