More like this is what happens when society replaces [its] morals with obedience. Everyone of us still has the choice or "free will" to make s conscious decision to get involved or not regardless of any policy. Um, Milgram said it better:
The social psychology of this century reveals a major lesson; often it is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation in which he finds himself that determines how he will act."
Look at the behavior of many in that restaurant. Only one person acted out of kindness while the rest stood by. We love violence. Moreover, we are addicted to it. We obey it. Who knows why? Could be that amygdala region of our brain that regulates our conscience drives of anger and violence in that it goes berserk when seeing it take place..or something. Anyway, I have no problem in saying I have no disgust for the girl lying on the floor. No, my disgust lies with all of those who failed to act.Comment

The 2004 documentary Super Size Me states "McDonald's Chicken McNuggets were originally made from old chickens no longer able to lay eggs. These chickens are stripped down to the bone, and then "ground up" into a chicken mash then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to a McDonald's near you." Super Size Me also alleged that they included chemicals such as tertiary butylhydroquinone (a phenolic antioxidant used as a chemical preservative), polydimethylsiloxane (an anti-foaming agent), and other ingredients not used by a typical home cook.[5] This was recently restated by CNN.[6]
Marion Nestle, a New York University professor and author of “What to Eat,” says the tertiary butylhydroquinone and dimethylpolysiloxane in the McNuggets probably pose no health risks. As a general rule, though, she advocates not eating any food with an ingredient you can’t pronounce. [6]
Dimethylpolysiloxane is used as a matter of safety to keep the oil from foaming, Lisa McComb, (who handles global media relations for McDonald's) says. The chemical is a form of silicone also used in cosmetics and Silly Putty. A review of animal studies by The World Health Organization found no adverse health effects associated with dimethylpolysiloxane. TBHQ is a preservative for vegetable oils and animal fats, limited to .02 percent of the oil in the nugget. One gram (one-thirtieth of an ounce) can cause "nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse," according to “A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives.[6]
As of October 9 2010, listed as ingredients in the cooking process of McNuggets are dimethylpolysiloxane which in a 2002 lawsuit against McDonald's, a judge commented that Chicken McNuggets are a "McFrankenstein" creation of various elements not used by the home cook.[7]and Tert-Butylhydroquinone or TBHQ.[4] TBHQ, a chemical the FDA requires to not exceed 0.02 percent of its oil and fat content can cause death from the ingestion of around 5 grams. Ingestion of a single gram (a 28th of an ounce) has caused nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse. Industrial workers exposed to the vapors-without obvious systematic effects-suffered clouding of the eye lens. Application to the skin may cause allergic reactions[8] In 2003, in response, McDonald’s launched smaller, all-white-meat McNuggets.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It can feel like death to one who might be experiencing it even though it is not. You know, that whole fight or flight/adrenaline/parasympathetic nervous system thing going on that is out of one's control. Unlike what you see in movies being beaten can induce an emotional trauma and I still say it wasn't a seizure but more of a theatrical cry of "I had enough", "no more."Comment

I remember in the 1970's you would see the news story that someone got mugged in New York City and nobody stopped to help. We all thought it was horrible and wondered what kind of passive cess pool would allow that to happen. Then years later I found myself living in New York City and people were really disconnected there more than any other place I lived. I think it was because so much of the environment was negative they just learned to turn it off.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I've never had one but have seen them. And to an onlooker they can be quite scary. To the person going through one they must be terrifying.Comment
