I don’t know, eating a slug, while undoubtedly stupid, shouldn’t destroy your life.
He wasn’t drinking and driving. He didn’t take a PCP leap from a tall building. He wasn’t playing chicken with a locomotive. He wasn’t doing the Tide Pod Challenge. He ate a bug.
My favourite brother used to eat bugs on a dare all the time as a kid/teenager. Thank you Lord that nothing awful ever happened to him.
This story actually made me tear up a little.
Tragic for the young man. Tragic for the family that has to care for him 24/7. Tragic for the health care system that has to support him.
And no, you can’t fix stupid. But there are way worse things to be than stupid. God is supposed to watch out for children, drunks, and fools.
I agree with this in principle, as my heart goes out to the man. However, I did struggle a bit with the last sentence today (thought about this a few times), only because I was also taught in school that the lord helps those who help themselves. So this is probably one of those borderline cases where it's either blatant stupidity on the part of the guy, who really should have known better, or perhaps he was just mentally challenged to begin with?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I don’t know if you have brothers or sons, but boys eat bugs. “Boys is dumb”. We love them, but boys is dumb.
My oldest son just turned 23 today. He is still dumb. I pray every day for God to look after him until his brain comes in.

Ha ha ha!! And yes, I have two brothers and they certainly did their share of silly stuff, too!
I never ate a bug in my life, intentionally at least. I've had gnats fly into my mouth, but I spit heavily until it comes out.I don’t know if you have brothers or sons, but boys eat bugs. “Boys is dumb”. We love them, but boys is dumb.

What an interesting idea. I am always amazed at how clever and talented some people can be.

She formed the two flour tortillas and baked them to the flower shape then added lettuce, taco meat, cheddar, a dollop of sour cream and a ring of sauce. I could have eaten another (not that I need it!) but she only baked two shells.Can she spare one for me? I just got home from work and I'm hungry.

I will check later to see if it's true or not, but, to the best of my memory I was a boy (still am, that's what I'm going to check on) and as a boy I can without any fear of contradiction say that I have never eaten any bug or slimy thing, including oysters and clams in my life. I did swallow a fly once when I yawned and it flew into my mouth. His adventure was really short.I don’t know if you have brothers or sons, but boys eat bugs. “Boys is dumb”.

By the looks of my picture I am male. Either that or as a female I have a serious hormonal imbalance affecting facial hair.

Not that I'm aware of, but, anything is possible. That could explain the tickle in my throat.

Add me to the list of AAMWNHNNWICAB (As a male who never has nor never will intentionally consume a bug.)
With that being said, I still feel terrible for the young man in the article. There are far worse choices he could have made in life, and his ongoing punishment certainly doesn't fit his mistake. Hopefully he can make a full recovery, and one day file all this under a bad memory and a big lesson learned.

Once when I was very little a lightning bug landed on my face and spooked me. I swatted it off (not knowing what it was) but ended up smearing it by my mouth.
The corner of my lips were glowing. I cried because I killed it.
