Why do people do stupid things??

people do crazy things..Mylot..i think the fat kid thaugh that the fire will help him burn fat or whatever..Excessive TV view is what iwould say

It is really necessary that such kind of kids are taken to the psychatrist as soon as possible to avoid the problems in future also. It is really important to educate these children of what is the code of living as a human being.

that @ss.... what a tool. lol why would you light yourself on fire.. idiots i tells ya. people.. some people.. are just plain stupid!

Why do people do stupid things? We will never know....some folks just wasn't born with the good common sense that god gave them.

Wow that's all I can say. You know Deb, I'm not sure why people do stupid things. I sure would like to smack them though. For this fella, it got him a bit of exercise and made him move probably quicker than ever but that's the only reason I can come up with. He definitly has raised the five W's in my head. Have a great night

Hey Deb! I just can't believe that he actually was stupid enough to do this and film it! Where the hell was his parents? At least he was smart enough to be near sand! And did at least also know to stop, drop and roll! What an azzhole! This is what the kids nowadays think is fun! I bet if they were caught in a fire somewhere they would freak and not think it is a game if they could possibly die! I just don't understand how the think of such moronic things to do to pass the time! What could possibly be next? I shudder to think!

that goes beyond being stupid. That kid is so lucky that he didn't die. It didn't seem that any of them used their brains, What would they hav done if the flames didn't go out. I didn't see no water close by. Its something what some people will do for 15 seconds of fame.

What an absolute idiot? Why, why, why? That is the first question I was asking, what sort of mentality is this? It's not funny, it's not amusing, it's highly stupid and what kind of message does this send out to others, his peers in particular? He definitely needs to be sent to a shrink no question about it. I am sorry but I have absolute no patience or pity with these kind of people.

This is more than stupid. I wouldn't be my kid, because of the way I raise my kids. I have an experience with one only so far, but I know what I am talking about. It is all in the family. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this kid needs a lots of attention, because of pathological family.

Because a lot of times people dont think of the consequences. Like for instance during black friday when that person got killed because the people were so stupid and werent thinking which im sure most of them didnt want to kill the kid but sometimes people just dont think which could result to something bad.

Makes you wonder what kind of parents they have just plain stupid,but kids today have no fear of any thing until they get hurt real bad.
