I wouldn't have wished it on her or anyone else. It doesn't make me happy that she lost her hands. I don't get joy out of other's suffering. But yes, I think she deserved it. Not for 'taking a photo of a shark' as you have tried to minimize and simplify it. She deserved it for 'getting too close to a shark'. As someone already mentioned, poetic justice. You constantly refer to her as being 'naive', which is nothing more than conjecture on your part.

 

No, she didn't 'deserve it' no matter her actions.... 

 

Someone stealing shark eggs, mutuliating sharks etc... then there could be an argument that there is some form of 'natural justice' and deserving.... 

 

But in this case... no, she did not deserve to lose both hands, not at all. 

 

I think anyone who believes this woman is somehow deserving of losing both her hands needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

I'd like to meet people like you in person

No, you wouldn´t

 

Oh I would... call it sick curiosity....      you are probably quite a normal person, but come across as a bitter twisted grumpy sanctimonious old fart on this forum which is unlikely to be a true representation of yourself....    but if you want to argue that I am wrong... then fill your boots.

Is it any more insane that the guys who climb skyscrapers with no safety gear and take selfies hanging off the edge? TikTok is a death cult. If you don't have followers, you are worthless! 

 

Agreed...  but I'd hardly call this 'TikTok-esque' attention seeking...  seems she just saw an opportunity for a photo....     Its very unlikely she had the knowledge to recongise the danger she was in....    hence 'naievety'...  (*which others have argued against suggesting her injuries were deserved').

 

I've been on the side of very steep snowy mountains, only one way down...  one wrong move could be catastrophic - if I were to fall and get injured is that 'deserving' ?? I don't think so.... 

 

In much the same way a heavily drunk grumpy old bar-stool boomer doesn't deserve to get hit by car when crossing the road.

 

'people' don't deserve these things - its not as if they have killed a child and these are their consequences and the deserve the 'injuries' the received... 

 

Some on this forum are so quick to pass such vicious judgements against people who've made naive mistakes.

Correct. It's a science lesson.

You just don´t know when to stop, do you? Tell me, why in the world would I travel an unknown distance to meet up with somebody who insult me and other people who have a different opinion on an online forum? How old are you? You behavior right now, is telling something between an angry 12 year old up to 19 who tries to find his identity in life. I don´t have to fil any boots, just because you say say so. After that, you are probably older than me, and sitting as a keyboard warrior who´s lost all real life battles. Now, the only thing you can do, is agitate people you don´t now online. You see, you are still same insignificant to me. Now go play with people who appreciate the rubbish you post.

Yet there you are re-igniting comments from yesterday in an attempt to re-trigger another argument.

 

The point I wanted to make is that despite your nastiness and abhorrent comments on this forum suggesting a woman is deserving of losing both hands, and the pain and horrific future that would entail... all from the brave positioning of hiding behind your keyboard....  in person you might actually be quite normal, because you can't get away with such nastiness in person without getting called out to your face for your abhorrent attitudes....

 

In fact I suspect your nastiness may be an online bravado act of idiocy....   YOU would certainly make an interesting sociological study - the real you vs the online delusional you....   why hiding behind a keyboard turns what 'might be' an normal person into a grade A1 nasty preeik !!!

 

Now... as insignificant as I am to you... there will be no need to reply to me again, will there? - after all, I'm insignificant... Yet you still can't help yourself from trying to shoe-horn your stupidity into another argument. 

 

For now... you can accept that you are just one bitter nasty character who's been called out for suggesting a tourist 'deserved' to lose both hands....    

 

 

 

.... And no Boomer, you're quite a lot older than I !!!... 

But, you seem to think age scores some points in some weird way....  another example of your flawed and broken logic.

 

Now again... I'm insignificant, so no need to reply like a child is there.

So, when I reply to your posts, then I am re-igniting. When you do same, then it´s right.

Do have difficulties understanding? I don´t want anything to do with you. Go talk rubbish with other posters that appreciate your on top of everyone attitude. Stop act like a pre-school kid now. Man up and understand that your words mean nothing to me.

OMG! You are amazing! Thick as a brick. Like I said, you are totally insignificant to me. Better for you to play with people who appreciate you.

By the way, what am I relying on? If you mean replying, I will do that as long as you don´t leave me alone.
