Lethal Energy

Posted by Adolfo at 8:52 PM
Energy drinks are amazing! Designed to increase the drinker’s level of alertness and physical performance, these strong blends of sugar and caffeine are great for athletes and college students.

However, they are not to be taken by those suffering from heart failure and of course, children.

Children are known to be hyperactive, especially when sugar is involved. Now picture a hyperactive child consuming an abundance of energy drinks.

One British man is blaming energy drinks for the death of his son. No, his son did not have a heart attack. His son did not explode from all the energy. His son hung himself in his room.

So, where do energy drinks factor into this tragedy?

According to Lee Johns, his son’s behavior changed drastically once he started downing energy drinks.

Oh, of course! How could we forget? His son was this “perfect angel.” He would never be capable of acting out like all the boys his age.

Wake up man! Being active and acting out is all a part of growing up. The 11 year old was approaching his teen years. I’d be worried if he wasn’t acting out.

The father, however, is still convinced that energy drinks are to blame for his son’s change in behavior and is now on a personal crusade to ban the sale of energy drinks to anyone under the age of 16.

The father knew about his son’s habit and ordered him not to drink those drinks again. Because we all know that all young boys always listen to their parents when given orders.

The day of the boy’s death, he had been sent home from school for being disruptive, probably from not taking his adderall, or maybe just bad parenting.

Upon finding out, the father did not yell at his son or give him a good spanking. Instead, he just simply sent him to his room. There his mother found him hanging.

So, let’s assume that those energy drinks were to blame…

How did the boy get the money to buy the drinks? That’s right! He got the money from his father. The same father that was well aware about his son’s habit. So, why did he continue to supply the cash used to buy the drinks?

Parents, pay attention to your kids. All of these recent tragedies could have been avoided with the appropriate amount parenting. If you see your kids acting out, get involved and see what’s really going on. Don’t just assume that children will remain perfect little angels forever. Be aware that times change and kids change. If you don’t follow along with their development, you’ll be left behind in a cloud of ignorance.

Recall how I teach about the immigration issue, how they use (boarderline racists) to protest the mass immigration into the United States, when the God's true intent was protecting the purebloods from the motherland from this cancerous dumping ground known as America.
I suspect the sexism of back in the day was similar:::A woman's place IS in the home, for when she enters the workplace she assimilates into the disfavored male's domain, just as blacks assimilated during Civil Rights.
They shoudln't drive. They shouldn't drink. Gamble. Golf. Anything men engage in should be and was taboo, for women and everybody else, and many of us remember how our grandmothers or great-grandmothers avoided some if not all of these activities.


Black doesn't work in the SFBA. They are too far back and can't afford a temptation as big as a good black sport leader/coach. "Barry Bonds." Something was wrong with Barry Bonds.
And with this most recent message of the SFWhiteys winning the World Series shoudl help people understand.
Now I don't think the problem lies with Mike Singletary. I believe he transcends the color of his skin. But all the black coaches on his staff is the problem.
Of course the safe play is get rid of them all, but I do believe Singletary can be successful if they just create the right equation with the 49ers.
It's true in Oakland and it is true in San Francisco::::The blacks of this region are too disfavored, have falled too much into disfavor and now can't afford it. It's much like the Raider Nation::::If they went to church like their (great) grandfathers regularly the gods would offer them a winning Raider franchise to tempt them, see if they skip church for games, etc.
