They are 10-12 years old. There are literally hundreds of things that a 10-12 year old might think is a good idea that could kill them. You are a real [censored] if you think that a kid being naive means they should die.

You have to be kidding me. Are you saying that when you were 10-12 years old that you thought maybe drinking rubbing alcohol might be a good idea, or something similar to that train of thought?

Believe it or not, most 10-12 year old kids I know would think that is a pretty [censored] stupid thing to do.

I was at the convenience store near my house and 4 or 5 10-12 year-old kids carrying skateboards came up behind me and put three bottles of green-colored, "spearmint" rubbing alcohol (btw, rubbing alcohol comes in flavors now? news to me) on the counter.

My guess is that they were about to make three Chlorine bombs

If you are correct, it's possible I could have prevented a TERRORIST ATTACK, and yet I failed miserably due to general apathy and complacence.

However, on the bright side, at least the neighborhood will smell minty fresh soon.

Pyro stuff most likely. I almost set my house on fire making m olotov cocktails when I was that age...

Most 10-12 year olds might know not to drink rubbing alcohol, but that doesn't make your elitist "they deserve to die" attitude any less reprehensible. Any reasonable adult who sees a kid doing something that could kill them ought be a decent enough human being to stop them.

Case and point for telling the kids not to drink it.

Also the Hispanic clerk asked me before he rang them up, "Alcohol, iss okay to sell them?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Who the hell are you and why is someone who works there asking you if he can sell something? Are you a cop? The owner? Hahaha. I'd feel really good about having that guy working for me.

In Bolivia the really really poor people will drink rubbing alcohol because its really cheap and really potent. Also, a somewhat common drink on big celebrations is mixing rubbing alcohol and milk straight from a cow in a shot glass and topping it with sugar. Shots of those will get you fizzzuked up.

You know there are like thousands of people right? Losing a few here and there to dumb [censored] will probably be okay.
