I was like, oh fuck.....then I read, he was there as a fucking TOURIST....

Know if I was in the ministry of foreign affairs?

He's dumb enough to go to a war zone as a tourist, do with him what you want....

How fucking stupid do you have to be>?????

I had the exact same reaction when those American college kids went hiking in Iraq and got arrested when they wandered over the border into Iran. wtf were they thinking even being in Iraq, never mind near the Iranian border.

People can't expect the military or the government to swoop in and save them from their own stupidity. :neutral:

Very, but dude everyone's IQ is different. Now the Canadian government have to spend our tax dollars to get him out of this jam. I hate that.

 

[Bhuwisit]

Great line :great:.

 

[Dragonfly Girl]

Specially the ones that say I am Canadian but have been living overseas for over 20 years and not paying taxes.

Not too smart but some live for the adventure. Still stupid.

Oh I agree...no different for mountain climbers, hikers, heli skiers etc. Which is why (when I watched all those S and R shows) I said: why the fuck are these people risking their lives to save some bonehead who fell off a mountain? Let him rot on that ledge perched 1,000 feet up the side of a mountain......

I say: you make a conscious decision to risk YOUR life by doing something stupid (or what I consider stupid). Why should someone else risk THEIR life by getting you out of trouble that YOU put YOURself into? Plus, who pays for the cost associated with YOUR choices? (everyone harps on smokers, but IMO mountain climbing is no different).

[<3~??~<3]

to prove the thousands of men and women fighting the war wrong

 

[Pompal 09.]

eh? Psmerf, you totally lost me on that one......

(btw, the men and women actually doing the fighting aren't the ones who are right or wrong, it's the politicians who send them into harm's way...)
