Not to disparage the dead, but consider this, two people together, a
49 year old guy with all his attributes, and a 26 year old gal with
all her uh "attributes"

Why did you say it if you don't know what it means?
I did not say I don't know what I mean, why don't you take a SWAG at
what I mean?
I already told you I have no idea what you are talking about. Is it a
secret? If you know what you meant, why won't you explain it?
snip
Getting back on point, can you please answer the question?
Getting back on point, what specifically is your question?
You've erased them all without answering. But I am happy to repost. Try
following along and stopping each time you see a question mark, and them
following it up with an answer to the question. Here is your original post
and my original questions.

What the christ is that supposed to mean?
[In case this is unclear, I am asking you to explain what you mean by
"attributes"]
makes for a pretty stupid stew
Please explain. Why does a 49 year old guy and a 26 year old gal make for a
stupider stew than, say, a 22 year old guy and a 30 year old gal?
[In case this is unclear, I am asking you to explain what the ages have to
do with it]
Considering that he was married, the disparity of age, probable difference
in
rank, a long way from home, I expect they may have had other things on
their minds.
What the christ are you talking about?
[In case this is unclear, I am asking you to explain what the guy's marital
status and the "disparity of age" between the two paddlers has to do with
their deaths. Further, what do you mean by "probable difference in rank."]
When the mind process is divided, the thinking gets
muddled and stupid decisions follow. The guide may have recommended
that they use the PFD, but was he in any position to make them put
them on, or even hear his recommedation.
The guide may have never said a damned thing. Maybe they got in the kayaks,
and paddled out on the water.
I know a 49 year old that was in a similar situation
What situation???
[I am asking you to explain what the "situation" is and how it was similar]
and made similar bad decisions. Luckily, I lived to write this passage,
but I realize
in hind sight just how stupid, and lucky I was! RkyMtnHootOwl OvO
You mean you used to be MORE STUPID than you are now?!?
This is really stretching the imagination.

I don't know what you mean, that's why I am asking. Is it a secret? If you
know what you meant, why not simply explain it?
You have no clue. What is known is that they were novices, they had a
guide,
they wore no PFDs, they went to a place where they should not have been.
Yeah, I also have learned that there is usually alot more to the story
than what we have been told! So I try to read between the lines, which
is the point about a discussion group like this!
Fine. But what the christ is it you are reading, and what are the lines?
None of us were there
to be making a truely informed statement, and most don't actually know
the people involved. So most all that is said is conjecture, even what
you have just stated! Did the article say they were novices? How did
you determine they were novices?
The article said so.

I went backcountry skiing by myself,...

What does this have to do with a couple going kayaking with a guide?
Nothing
OK. This is progress. So far, of all your comments about this tragedy,
you've made a number of cryptic comments which you have refused to explain,
and have admitted that your supposed relevant "situation" is in fact
irrelevant.
it has to do with the original question, of why people do
stupid things! In this story a couple is kayaking, in mine, I did
stupid things. Similarity may stop there, but we can look at
ourselves, and usually find where we have also done stupid things.
Have you any stupid human stunts to your credit?
Yes, of course. For example, I really thought it was possible you might be
less of an asshole in talking about this tragedy.

Add the feature of a couple of hot-blooded young adventurers
How do you know they were "hot-blooded young adventurers?" What the hell
are
you talking about?
Why don't you take a SWAG at what I am talking about?
I don't know what you are talking about, that's why I asked. Is it a secret?
If you know what it is you are talking about, why not simply explain it?
Although I will
admit, that at 49, he was not that young, but obviously still able to
make some stupid decisions!
That's extremely insightful (not).
to the
mix, and things can get real exciting. I did not see the Discovery
Channel special about the survival of some seakayakers, which is being
discussed on Paddlewise. If they had been opposite sex, the story
would have been on ABC primetime!
Any chance you can possibly stay on the topic of these two people that
died
and your bizarre and unsubstantiated comments about them?
Any chance you can take a SWAG at what and why I am saying what I
wrote, or are you naive?
Apparently I am naïve because I don't know what you are talking about. If it
is not a secret, why can't you explain it?
snip
You mean you used to be MORE STUPID than you are now?!?
No, now I am just perfecting it!
There's not much room for improvement.
Real people can always improve, we are not perfect like you!
You missed what I was saying. You said you were working at perfecting being
stupid. I am saying that I think you have done a find job. But I am sure you
can improve.
This is really stretching the imagination.
Oh, sorry about that, overexertion is a problem, for some! Especially
a nonentity cyber-identity who has never done anything really, but
assimilate real people experiences. You can do everything, anything,
perfectly, with no stupid moments! Must be nice! RknMtnHootOwl OvO
Yet another attempt at a dodge.
You've made stupid satement after stupid statement in this thread.
And yours are brilliant?
Thus far I am simply seeking to have explanations for your comments about
this tragedy.
You obviously like the word "stupid"! Reminds me of a little kid who
discovers a new word, and uses it in every statement they make for a
day or two, or until they learn a new word! Are you a little child?
What is your new word for today? RkyMtnHootOwl OvO
Now that you have decided to not even attempt to explain your statements, I
would upgrade you from stupid to pathetic.
