    while sitting in my room reminesizing (i dont know how to spell it) about old times, i recalled one incident from when i was a small child, around 6 or 7, and it was a rather disturbing image...while coming home from buying some food at the local store, i saw a man in about his twenties fall off his bicycle and badly hurt his arm, and people came up to him to make sure he was ok. a few minutes later two guys came up to him and punched him in the face ( i cannot recall how many times) untill the man was bleeding badly from his face. the same people who had helped him when he fell off his bicycle just walked away, they wanted no part. my regret was not being old enough to do somthing about it, and it made me feel horrible remembering it. what is the world coming to when people will not stand up for each other and help one another?

    Makes me think of this thing I learned in sociology.... people are afraid of alot of things... also makes me think of when I was in Mexico riding a bike and went off the trail and fell into some bushes and people were starring at me....

    wow for being 6 or 7 your memory is excellent and very detailed which makes me believe you just probably saw this happen yesterday and you didnt do anything either..
    but meh, whatever...
    and let me get this straight, two people just came up to a random person lying in the street and started to punch him in the face..yeah, okay...
