It´s very strange that so many comes out and state that it was very dumb choices in their lifes, after they got free from thier addiction. Whatever that one might have been. So you have never found yourself addicted to anything? You have never had an unhealthy relationship with any kind of vice ever in your life? It's too easy and dismissive to simply state - it's all simply 'being dumb', it's a lot more nuanced than that. The reasons behind the behaviour are what count even more than the behaviour itself in many cases. I notice you don't even try to rebutt my above arguments re: tech, either. ????

I think you'll find those that affected the greatest changes in our society for both good and bad throughout the ages, have been exactly the kind of people who did 'stand out in the crowd' and who didn't feel satisfied to simply 'fit in' and remain incognito. That's the point. Edited November 15, 2019 by CanterbrigianBangkoker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't force him to make that stupid picture of himself. He could have made a picture from a different angle standing on firm ground. But that's not what he did. Did he deserve to die? Who deserves to die. But Darwin explained to us, at least to the people who listend, that the fittest will survive. Which makes a lot of sense for evolution.

Popular Post Catoni Posted November 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2019 Tourists and other world travelers losing their lives doing stupid things all the time.... selfies at the Grand Canyon in the U.S. fall to their death... Selfies at the edge of tall buildings...slip and fall to their death... Young Japanese girl visiting Canada wants a photo of her standing on the other side of the safety railing next to the rushing water on its way to the falls... at Niagara Falls, Canada... so she climbs over... slips and falls.. gets quickly carried by the rushing water the last few hundred feet to the brink.... and goes over the falls to her death while people all along the railing watched in horrror.. there simply being no time to do anything about it. There are signs all over the place telling people about the danger and not to climb the railing. Her heartbroken family in Japan fly to Canada to collect her remains. Backpacking travelers trying to get selfies slip and fall off cliff in the European Alps.... You can have all the warning signs you desire.... . people are still going to ignore the warnings and do something supid and they end up dead. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please, technology has doubtless made the world a far safer place. Too safe, in fact. Women used to have to worry about getting raped every time they stepped outside of their homes. Serial killers used to roam the Earth with little consequnece, leaving piles of death in their wake. The masses could be easily controlled via war and religion before technology. Protestors could be squashed immdietately before technology. Before technology, sociopaths ruled the planet and there was not much one could do if one happened to be born with the evolutionary disadvantage of being born with empathy. Now at least, people have a chance. Technology has given us that chance. Edited November 15, 2019 by Duck J Butters 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been western tourists although, Asians doesn't seem to have the same urge to climb waterfalls or maybe it's because they travel with their girlfriend or mother. In my youth I climbed that waterfall, almost died. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
