What is the lowest thing you have ever seen another human being do ?

[bearfan454]

When my grandmother died my Uncle and Aunt lived next door and went over to the house and cleaned out all the antiques that came over here in the 1800's before they even called my Mom. Stealing from the dead is lower than low. What about you guys ? What is the lowest thing you have ever seen another human being do ?

1. A thug broke my arm in grade school

[Lindsey]

2. I saw a man steal a presidential election (on T.V.) in Florida

in 2000.

[GOPisEvil]

3. You too? I thought that was just a nightmare I had.

:scared:

[bearfan454]

4. You are right about that.

There is no doubt.

[Lindsey]

5. I keep thinking it's a nightmare and I'm waiting to wake up

but geez, if this isn't really happening, I've sure been asleep a long time.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Yeah, we're rumple-fuckin-stiltskin over here...

I need a shave...and a new president.

[lpbk2713]

6. I saw that too.

And then he and his gang of conspirators went on to sell out the country.

[Lindsey]

8. yea, and they took away most of our civil liberties,

got us into a horrible war, made sure that their big oil companies made a fortune, I could go on and on...geez sweetheart...what a HORRIBLE DREAM.

[bearfan454]

10. They did it with tax breaks for companies.

Fire your workers, don't pay workers comp or matchin SS dollars, move you company offshore and you won't even have to pay taxes. We will give you a tax break to help destroy the economy. Once the economy is totally destroyed, the sheeple will have to accept anything we tell them they have to accept.

This is the big plan, to wipe out the middle class. They want the rich people to own all the companies and then we will have to take anything they want to dish out. They have to fuck up everything so that people are so desperate they will just take anything they can get.

12. That was no man; that was a chimpanzee!

18. I work for a man who helped in the theft.

Talk about :scared:

9. Many years ago

I worked for a large catalog co. (think Land's End). My job was to pick the merchandise for shipment. We lugged huge metal racks around & each item was counted for speed & accuracy. We were all under the gun.
The cruelest thing I saw a couple of people distract a deaf man. Behind him one other worker was stripping his cart. When he turned around there were shoes, shirts, parkas scattered around & possibly his chance for a full time job gone.
That still haunts me today.

[bearfan454]

11. That is f&cked up.

[Booberdawg]

13. It was so low I can't even say it

[bearfan454]

14. That is bad if you can't say it.

Real bad.

[Booberdawg]

24. I will. Just to get it over with

This relates to an incident when my son survived on life support for about 18 hours after an accidental drowning. I was advised from the onset that his condition was grave and he would probably not survive. I called family accordingly and my sisters and their husbands met me at the hospital, including one sister who made a very emotional 5 hour drive with her family to be there that night.

The incident happened at 2:30 in the afternoon.

In hindsight, I can see that I was in denial about his true condition. I never really believed that he could die, even though the staff were giving me every indication they knew how to give me that his condition was hopeless.

To make a long story short, there was a rally in his condition and with this sign of hope in the middle of the night I convinced my sisters to go home and get some sleep so that they might relieve me some time during the next day so I could take a bit of a nap. So, they went home.

All hell broke loose and his condition suddenly deteriorated, and quickly. Must have been around 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning now. I knew he was not going to make it so I called my mother’s place to get my out of town sister back and have her contact a priest that was a friend of the family in the neighborhood to tend to final rites for my son.

I got my mother on the phone. No, she would not call family friend a couple houses down that I wanted to tend to final rites for my son. She didn’t know why, she just didn’t think she liked him. Not only that, she would not wake up my sister to tell her I was calling to tell her my son’s death was imminent. No, mom didn’t think my sister needed to be waked up for that. She need’s her sleep, and I’m going back to bed now. Bye.

WTF???

I ended up calling someone else who got ahold of the family friend and he did come up to the hospital immediately. He already knew my mother is sick and weird. His wife managed to roust up the neighborhood and they orchestrated an old friend of my sister’s to stop by the house and insist to wake up my sister. She was devastated to learn I had called 3 hours earlier and my son was already gone.

25. Wow. That was cold

15. My brother stole a french fry off my plate when I was 8.

Still in therapy for that shit.

16. Long Time Ago

In the military at some fire base not very far from the 4th Infantry Division's Base Camp. We'd got some probes the night before and a couple of NVA had got blown up in the wire. Next morning there were these new guys, young soldiers, standing around half a body snapping pictures and joking about it. Anybody that tells you that our military takes the best and the brightest is someone who hasn't served.

29. Oh that is bad and...

very sad! Just awful.

17. a friend's brother took advantage of their elderly father...

Stole tens of thousands of dollars from him by, just for two examples, mowing his lawn for $600 a pop, and looting his house until my friend realized it and had the locks changed.

When their father failed and was in a nursing home, her brother never went to see him. She did EVERYTHING, from finding the home, paying his bills, and fixing up & selling his house to changing her dad's diaper when staff didn't come soon enough. When he died, she did EVERYTHING again -- all the funeral arrangements, the wake at her house, etc. She left her brother to do one fucking thing: see that the headstone had the dates carved in it and replaced over their parents' grave. She visited her parents' grave last week -- the stone's still out of place and blank under John's name.

Her brother calls her about once a month and asks when the estate will be settled.

If there's a hell, there's a special place in it for that man.

20. a prosecutor's assault on my mentally retarded neighbors

There was a new police chief in the town, and when the couple's youngest child died, this showboater had the parents arrested for starving the child to death. They were convicted even though the whole story was a fabrication. They claimed they had never taken the baby to the hospital, but my partner and another neighbor went to the hospital and obtained the records for their attorney themselves. The records showed that the hospital had been unable to find a diagnosis or cure for the two youngest children and warned the parents that their babies would likely die. Unfortunately, their attorney was a public defender, and kept getting changed. As far as I know, the judge and jury never heard the truth of the matter, and the parents are likely still in prison.

To me, you just can't get much lower than to invent "evidence" to frame mentally retarded people in order to further your career!

In the parish I live now, at the same time, another woman was convicted of murder because her baby died of SIDS but she was not mentally handicapped and was able to get her conviction overturned when a SIDS doctor from Orleans learned of her case.

Making up lies about parents who have just lost their child...I dunno...it doesn't get much lower.

22. That's pretty low....is there anything you can do?

:shrug:

it never fails to amaze me the depths some human beings sink to. We shouldn't even call them human beings. :evilfrown:

21. My cousin's friends beat up Santa Claus

I had a paper route and was going on vacation near Christmas time so I was training my cousin to substitute for me. As we were on the route, he said "hi" to a group of five junior high age boys like himself who were his friends. A few minutes later, I see the boys attacking Sanata Claus, pulling on his beard, and stealing his candy canes. The really bad thing is that Santa is mentally ill, but stable, and volunteers to dress as Santa Claus and hand out candy canes down town. His long white beard is real. I was only fourteen at the time and did not know what to do so I continued on the route.

[Darth_Kitten]

23. Personally?

kill my little puppy (4 months old)

hit and run, I STILL see his little body lying on the highway right in front of where we lived. :cry: Looked like he was sleeping. :(

The school bus would come up to each house to pick up the kids. My sister and I saw the little splatter of blood on the road waiting for the bus to come for days after the incident. :(

We kind of knew WHO did it but they never apologized or did anything. :( I still get teary a quarter century later. :evilfrown:

27. at the age of 8 i saw a man beat a woman.

i ask you, which was worse, the man, or the adults who did not stop him?

[Lindsey]

28. booberdwag

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you. I truly can't imagine anything worse.

[demgrrrll]

30. Me either. Kind of puts things in perspective. I am so sorry that

happend to you Booberdawg.

[Booberdawg]

38. I don't know how this response to my post got down here,

but nevertheless ....

There really isn't much one can say or to add to that. If anything.

We were all pretty stunned and speechless at what she did.

I sure was.

[bleedingheart]

31. the adults who did not stop him...

that is the one thing I can't stand...people who knowingly watch as others are hurt.
I do my best to speak up for others and if I am concerned about my safety I call the police or whoever else can help...but to watch as others beat someone...that is wrong...

My aunt took so many beatings at the hand of her husband and no one but my mother did anything to help her...unfortunately my mom wasn't able to do much more than help her out with cash and watch her kids..(mom didn't have a home of her own to take her in..)

My own grandmother saw how that man beat her daughter's face purple and the bastard even pissed on her daughter when she refused him sex... and still my grandmother told her that "it's your bed...lie in it"...
so much for compassion.

[NightTrain]

32. I'm only allowed to choose one, huh?

Considering the atmosphere in which I was brought up, that's going to be a challenge!

I'll have to think about it and get back to you....

[LincolnMcGrath]

33. Lowest of the low!

[NightTrain]

34. OK, I've come up with something, though it hurts like hell to remember

My late mother suffered from mental illness. Every 18 months to two years, like clockwork, she had to go off to the institution for several weeks. When I was a kid, I ended up spending a lot of time at my grandparents' house because of this.

I'll never know if they did it through mean-spiritedness or ignorance, but my grandparents brainwashed me against my mother. They told me that if my mother really loved me, she wouldn't take off on me all the time. After all, none of my friends' moms did that! My grandparents even went so far as to give me horrid names to call my mother when she telephoned me from the mental hospital. "Looney tune," for example.

Even though my grandparents died in 1978 and 1981 respectively, I continued to feel alienated from my mother for many years afterward. It was only in 1994 that I told my mother how badly I felt about the nasty shit I had said to her over the years. Of course she said it was all right, but it wasn't. Not by a long shot.

I've no idea what caused me to say that to my mother on that particular occasion, but it's good thing I did, because she died suddenly a couple of weeks later. It's been almost ten years and I can still feel the tears welling up as I write these words.

Thanks a lot, grandma and grandpa! :mad:

35. My best friend ask to have a plate reheated

We were hitch-hiking around. And we were at a counter at an ariport, and my fried spotted a plate that someone left uneaten. So he asked the waitress if she would have the plate reheated and served to him. How low can you go?

37. A Christmas Story

Tommy and the missus were out for some last minute Christmas shopping. When they got back, they saw that somebody had broken in the house and stolen all the presents from under the tree.

39. TREAD CAREFULLY WALKING WOUNDED IN HERE!

40. This is one of the saddest threads yet.

I wish happiness to Booberdawg and everyone else here.

41. The "Rat poop"licans caused a certain group of 52 innocent captives

to suffer by possibly "monkey wrenching" their rescue mission and by delaying their release or liberation for poliitcal gain in 1980, and I find that's also pretty low.
