How many times??

The key part your missing is that fact that he was attacked in the morning when sharks are actively hunting. You may be more likely to get in a car accident than being attacked by a shark but your probability is drastically increased when you go in the water when they are known to be hunting... Just like your probability of being in a car accident is higher if you go driving in a snow storm.

I live in NY and yes I go driving during snow storms knowing the risk... If I got into an accident I wouldnt say its the snows fault seing I'm the one who decided to go out for a drive. Same situation here... He knew the risks... he took em... and he paid the ultimate price... Why not put training off for a couple hours and not swim when its feeding time?

I never said I dont feel bad for the people who have to deal with the consequences... I said I dont feel bad for the man who made the decision to get into the water... Obviously it sucks for anyone else involved

Nope, I'm not missing that point at all. A life was lost. I don't feel the need to place any blame ... on the animal or the person. It was an ACCIDENT!

I think the point most people are having issues with your posting, is your lack of concern for the VICTIM. He was a human being, who lost his life in a senseless act. Even if you don't feel very sympathetic, it is unnecessary to attack him.

Because early morning traffic is better and he had less of a chance of getting into a wreck. If he left the house a couple hours latter when everyone was trying to get to work, he could have died in a car accident.

Your logic is very flawed. There are countless 'odds' to certain events happening to you throughout the day...there is nothing you can do about it....THAT IS LIFE!!

I understand about not blaming the shark. I agree with that.

But the lack of respect for human life just because he went for a swim at a specific time is kinda ridiculous.

worth the infraction!

I still feel that you are very rude about this Josh. You could have gone about this a totally different way. Yet you choose to be the way that you are, and frolick in the land of ignorance.

He was someones son, possibly someones father, brother, friend, just like Rich said. But you come one here saying Oh, His fault he died, His fault.

*you must spread some reputation around before giving it to Joshblah blah again*

Im not sure where I attacked him? I totally thought he was stupid for going in the water and swimming then but I never said it... Again thousands if not millions of sharks are killed every year by humans but wheres the concern?? To me humans are just another animal on the planet... the live and die just like any other animal... I'm supposed to be concerned with the 1 guy who died but who cares about the 10,000 sharks killed?

You say accident but whats the accident?? The shark was hungry and wanted food... saw a opportunity to get a meal and took advantage of it... Ask the shark if he thought it was an accident and if he could talk Im sure hed say "naw man I was just looking for some grub. " In the ends humans are supposed to be the SMARTER animal and know the dangers... If you know the dangers and continue to take the risk... theres no one to blame but yourself

It's not so much about who's to blame and pointing out faults in logic etc etc, your being very disrespectful in light of his death. Instead of being so tasteless, keep your opinions to yourself for now, or discuss it elsewhere among minds that agree with your need to be outspoken.

I thought this was an off topic cafe... No one said you had to read or reply to the thread.

I hope you get hit by lightning

so over you!

But when you post something on the internet, your inviting public review. When the forum is a family friendly forum, I can't see how posting something that can very easily be taken as an insult is warranted.

Aw man thanks pat... You just made my day... After reading your previous posts and then you following up with that one...

Can you say hypocrite?
