I am 100% addicted to the show What Would You Do in which they put people in like not good social situations to see if people just sit there and don't get involved or speak up or do something. The last few episodes I watched were really good, one was would you say something or walk out of an upscale store if another shopper was being harassed by the employees just b/c they were African American, another was like kids teasing other kids really badly in a park, another was drag queens being kicked out of a coffee shop and so on and so forth. And like the people are all actors that are in the situation but the test is to see if the people at the store, coffee shop etc will say something. it is really cool to see if or when people react and when they don't. It seems like people who immigrated here tend to be more likely to say something and be like this is America you can't do this which I guess that makes sense if they come from somewhere where there is more oppression. What's really crazy is how many people don't say anything including after seeing a girl put powder from a pill in their dates drink when they leave it unattended. AND NOONE SAYS ANYTHING! It is realz crazy out there y'all

Ok Am I the only one who finds the Conductor Hot...............
So Intruding into someone's bed (guess it is about rape or it could be about cheating or getting into a bed one isn't supposed to be in) makes you dumb or maybe you do it cause you are so dumb.
Saw this on Facebook and loved it. And I still Like it here..........

Chernobyl VACASo I saw today that Chernobyl is going to be offering tours in 2011! Um, I will not be the first in line for that! I will not even be the 100th in line! Who wants to go there? They are still working on a permanent block/cover so they definitely seem like they realize it is stiill toxic. They say if you stay on the guided tour it is ok, but for some reason I don't trust that. It was like Paul telling the story about the place he worked where there was a tape on the ground and across that line you needed a hazmat suit, as if the tape was keeping the toxins away on his side of the line. So all in all, I do not plan on going their for vaca, well until they add a casino of course haha

I think it would be really cool to see a soviet era town preserved from the 80's. It's kinda spooky there from all the pictures and videos I have seen. Just intriguing I guess?

I would love to go see that town. There are some interesting videos on Youtube of Prypiat the town that Chernobyl is in. I think the radiation levels have subsided quite a bit since the incident. It's mostly Cs-137 contamination, with a half life of 30 years. At that rate its nearly half gone!

I take it that you were not interested in the museum of Nazi horrors (or some such thing) in DC. I wasn't either and hotfooted it out of its vicinity as soon as I could - but you should have seen the LOOOOOONG queues that were waiting to get in!

Sounds like a great Horror / Slasher or Zombie or even and end of the world type movie.... Not Real Life. I wonder what is the point. It seems like the things that might be interesting wouldn't be safe like the guy melted to something or something.

Optical IllussionsSo I am at work on a Saturday and it is quite slow, well I only got here 15 minutes ago but I haven't even gotten one call yet. And it is so quiet cuz hardly anyone is in the building. Anywho so I started looking at optical illusions on yahoo and wowser they freak me out kinda. They really blow my mind. I just don't understand how they work and somehow I feel like they could be used for evil, ok haha prolly not but it does really rock my mind how they work.

Snookie DroppingsDid anyone else here that MTV is dropping Snookie (encased in some kind of ball I'm assuming) for New Years Eve? I guess the rest of Jersey Shore is going to be leading the people in Times Square in a fist pumping Snookie dropping countdown. Totally rediculous but awesome.

I just signed on to say hello to you in chatter and now you are gone.

Sheesh. Pull the doer down, why don't you.
I'm not sure that the train tracks count either unless it was underground. Like if you actually jumped into the pit with the oncoming train to hoist the stranger up to the platform, that would be for real. ;)
The guy falling in front of the train counts but I don't think your mom counts, lol. Most everyone would help their own other choking. Its about people's reaction to stranger's circumstances.
i know i would do something because my mom choked at xmas eve dinner and i helped her.... and one time this man fell in front of the train tracks on main st in blo and i helped him up as the train was coming. im a doer.
I have seen the show a couple of times.... Someone who is much Younger then me who I went to school with was on one of the episodes.....He jumped right in... It is a great show but I haven't seen it in some time..........
That being said One thing though is that I don't think I would do any thing.... A Fight is a fight I'm not getting in the middle of that let those to sort it out... Also when you walk past that you don't know what caused it, maybe the person being the Jerk is in the right..........
This is almost exactly how estrip started back in 03 (e:news,29677)
I prefer the Nickelodeon show of the same title.
Hmm... makes me think about the mandatory whistleblower rules and policies course that we had to pass at work. Sometimes its about repercussions of whistleblowing, or in this case, saying something.
Another reason might be sheer indifference to something. What if you saw a glitter paint that you really really liked at a store and then you saw that one of the employees was not treating, let's say foreign-looking people with accents with respect. What would you do? Would you walk out and go to a store 20 miles away to that paint? Or would you complain to the manager and buy the paint? Or would you stare at the disrespectful employee in a hostile way? Or would you go up to the foreigner and apologize loudly for that employees behaviour on behalf of rest of humanity? Or would you just walk out of the store in silent protest? Or would you never go back to the store and post a nasty online complaint? Or would you call the nearest newspaper and call the place discriminatory? I am not sure that I would be consistent with what I might do in this situation. It could depend on how tired, indifferent, needy, annoyed etc I am feeling at that particular time.
Feelings about what one should, might, can, would, ought to do in each situation are so ephemeral...
