I know just what you mean - I saw on TV this morning that a young man who was asked why he was robbing a store, his reply was quote: 'I robbed the store because they would not hire me and I had even given them my CV.'
Not much brain activity there.......................... :ohmy:

Addition:
He was in fact only 16 years and among other things he had stolen were diapers for his son ................

:laugh: I heard it from you before it reached our news, haha. They showed us the same clip during the nighttime news..Ugh..

Too many teenage parents now. :huh:

Sad news.
Four people were reportedly killed and dozens injured at the Belgian Pukkelpop music festival. This is the third such incident in the past month. We had a stage collapse at a music festival in Canada a few weeks back and last week, one collapsed in Indianapolis in the US. This is very unsettling, especially to concert goers like myself. People go to concerts to get away from things and enjoy themselves. They shouldn't have to worry about getting killed. Whoever constructs the stages needs to investigated and possibly charged for negligence in my opinion.

Now, unfortunately, the news says that,it is at least five people have died and more than 40 others injured, including seven seriously.
And just as in the U.S., it was a sudden storm in the form of violent winds, hail and rain that ripped several big screens down, toppled trees, destroyed tents and got a roof over one of the scenes to break loose.
But I don't know what you can do to prevent this from happening again - as fighting against nature unfortunately is in vain.

I've heard that on yesterday's concert. Apocalyptica dedicated an acoustic song (can't remember the title, form their latest album) which they usually don't play on gigs/open-air to the victims...
