So, 7 or so years ago we moved just down the street about 40 yards to a new house.

Our old house is up in flames and soon to burn down as we speak, no idea how it caught fire yet. All my childhood memories are turning to ash, but that doesn't really bother me.

What bothers my parents and brother is that I said "Terrible terrible damage!"

You're blogging on TL when there's a fire forty yards down the street? Get out your camera and take some pictures NOW!
To follow the path: look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.

Imminent danger at hand. What to do:

1. Post on TL
2. Tell people in close proximity 'terrible terrible damage'
3. Reminisce about childhood.
4. Care no more.

I tried to video it with my phone, but apparently it's too bad to see fire during the night. Besides, it was the same fire as every fire; Orange and fiery.

I was gonna' hang out on the other side of the road and watch it, but I remembered the guy that lives there now has like 4 propane tanks in the shop and the house runs on natural gas, so I decided against it.

My house burned down while we were living there. I was about 12 at the time.
When your house burns down at such a young age it should be a really big deal, though I couldn't of cared less. I went back there a few times. It was a massive 500,000$ house, and where I live thats a really nice house. We lost a worth of about 3,000,000$ in the fire, and never saw any money for the contents, which was where most of the 3,000,000 came from. Insurance companies; Got cha bitch.
Wishing you well.

yeah



My grandparents cabin burned down while I was there, was pretty crazy, got so hot that it melted the roof and window glass, we went around and collected the pools of glass and metal after it cooled down. It sucked but it was pretty impressive, its crazy how big fires can get, basically impossible to put them out after a point.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

People take pictures at fires all the time. It's nothing new. And fire is badass.

Get over there now and salvage what you can!

Failing that just breath the smoke.

Probably burned down some drug lab. No worries.

There was a thread yesterday about some guy felt he was much more desensitized to things he sees everyday now because of the video games he's played and all the violence in video games.
I guess maybe this is the same kind of deal. Internet desensitizes you to the bad things that happen IRL.

Personally, I'd be freaking out if there was a fire down the street. xD

Hope the people living there are okay!
you are perfect porcelain.

No. This is a horrible epidemic plaguing America. When something horrible happens, people just pull out their cell phones and take pictures, and don't bother to help. We don't need to encourage that behavior.

Perhaps you should try fixing this in real life, instead of through the internet.
Won't do much good here. >_<

I've heard of being desensitized due to stuff like 4chan but video games? Unlike you're playing Manhunt or something I don't really see how. Killing someone in a game is nothing like killing someone in real life.

Idk I think that's what the thread said.
It might've just said to the internet in general, I can't remember. =P

But then, games like Counterstrike, Battlefield 2, so on and so on~ They're desensitizing us to war. Although it might show what it's really like(lol), it's still like..
Some people play and are like F YEAH TESTOSTERONE OMG KILL PEOPLE YEAAAAAAAAAH! (Girls do it too!) or if you're like me, you're all OMG WHAT DO I DO I DON'T WANT TO MOVE I'LL DIE AHH.

Point is. Video games/internet = desensitizing us
Causing us to go
TAKE PICTURES THE HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN COOL!

I can't help but notice many people claiming video games are desensitizing us. If they are, then I can just start wondering where in the world is the sensitivity level of soldiers in duty! What about the gladiators from back when the Roman empire was up; guys trained to live a life or murder, never knowing whether they'd make it to the next day, having blood and guts spilling everywhere before their eyes, and submitting to the will of a single guy in control of their destiny for his pleasure's sake!

We would've been sissies before their eyes, lol.

It's different for fires. If the fire department has already been called, take as many pictures as you want because you're not going to be able to do anything anyways.

And fires are cool. Just don't be a fucking dick and post the pictures anywhere you think the family might run across them.
