Athlete dies playing "choking" game.
This stuff makes absolutely no sense to me. I mean, none. If you want to feel buzzed, drink beer like a regular teen. Yeah, I know underaged drinking is illegal but when stories like this are floating around it really starts making me think they ought to legalize marijuana along with alcohol and give it to kids. If they're that desperate for a high then there is definately something wrong. As far as I know, no one has ever died from smoking a joint. Driving afterwards maybe but not just from smoking the stuff. Too much alcohol can kill but it seems to me to be a rarity. I'm sure there is a study out there somewhere that says its more common than I think but I'm not going to look for it because it would only prove my point about marijuana.
That said, this "game" is just about the ignorant thing in the world. I mean, its just stupid.
Man, I just don't know what possibly could be dumber than choking yourself to near unconsciousness just to feel a little light headed for a few minutes.
Using a bowflex machine? Idiot. You're supposed to do it with your hands so when you start to pass out you lose your grip and start getting air again.
...
As in most things, there are safe(er) ways to try and get a risky high, and their are unsafe ways to try and get a risky high. This happens to be a way where the guy was stupid about it. Anytime you're going for an asphyxiation high (on it's own, while masturbating, with a partner, with a partner during sex, or any other way) you need to make sure that when you start to pass out that by letting go your release the tension on your neck, or have a partner that knows what the **** they're doing (though asphyxiation-play is always somewhat risky).
And before you ask, no, I don't know through personal experience. I know because I talk and listen to people into things that I'm not into.
Those are the kinds of people that give teens a bad name. Dbag.
But I mean COME ON? at least we dont do idiotic stuff. We do have some "class" about us when we**** into people's sunscreen or shove a condom in someone's flute. I mean GFD!!
They give teens, stoners, and people like us a bad name.
As a band kid currently in high-school, I've done my fair share of stupid s**t.

You sit in the corner cutting yourself while being beaten up and listening to my chemical romance.
And then people like me make fun of you.

You listen to my chemical romance?
i know you didn't, but i was saying that.
ANd when half of your actual friedns are emo and cutters, you really come to like My Chemical Romance. SO its kind of forced.
My fav music has to be like the old stuff (Metallica, Lords of Acid, Korn, and others)
Im one of those people that has friends in every chaste of the school-hierarchy.
Whats weird about ours is that the prerps/jocks dont run the school. The jocks/band kids run our school. Its awesome...
Wann know something stupd?:
One of our ESE kids stole a ganitor's golf cart and drove it 2 miles down the road when we had a fire drill.
Thank god, I made it on the football and wrestling teams, I would have hated that. Still, band would have been pretty cool.
Hrm. I was just in band. The wrestling coach randomly asked me if I was interested freshmen year, but I was terrified that being in close sweaty proximity to other guys would have let slip a secret I was keeping at the time1. In retrospect I think I missed a great opportunity, but alas, what can you do?

1Adult me realizes this almost certainly wouldn't have been an issue2, but teen me thought otherwise and was scared shitless of just the possibility.
2Despite what sports porn would have me believe.
I have PE after lunch. I like to get there on time. However, I i go to the locker rooms too early the drug dealers will beat me up.
No lie.

Wrestling was pretty fun. Never got to actually wrestle in a meet because I was in the heavy weight division just barely which meant I was too light for the division to actually wrestle and too heavy for the next lower division. I got my weight down toward the end of the season but injured my toe in practice. Still, practices were great and wrestling guys that had 25, 30 and 50 pounds on me and holding my own did wonders for my self esteem.

"Old stuff"... heh.
Perspective, sonny, perspective - Mozart and Perry Cuomo are "old stuff". Out of that list up there, only Metallica gets to be called "old stuff", and even then that's only their 80's albums.
On the subject of the OP: What the hell ever happened to just spinning in circles until you passed out like we used to do when we were kids?
Yay Darwin Awards!
Also my database recalls a scene from Full Metal Jacket where "Gomer Pyle" gets choked.

That...that....that's just crazy.
It's not unheard of that homeless people drink mouthwash and other stuff to get drunk (well the alcoholic ones). Sad really.
It's not just homeless people.
You got a story with that? /voyeurism
Nope.

Really?
I wouldn't wish that level of addiction on anyone... even you goldo.
And I feel bad for anyone who has a loved one in that terrible of a condition.
It must be horrible...
