Hope the captain goes down for manslaughter....

The article states that the guy that got mauled was a lawyer. I
didn't
think that sharks would attack lawyers our of professional
courtesy.

Er... maybe that's "snakes"

Which reminds me of another joke:

What's the difference betwene a dead snake in the road and a dead
lawyer
in the road?

Theres skid marks in front of the snake.

Just saw video of another darwin wannabe "captain" swimming with the
sharks.. At least it was the captain that lost his hand this time,
not
someone he suckered into paying him money.. hopefully he can't drive
any more... assholes..

At what point in the deal does the captain put the gun to the
customers
head
and order him/her to sign on for the charter and jump in?- Hide

Well, by that logic, a drug dealer should be able to operate in the
open too. I know, I know,, drugs are illegal... So is most base
jumping, so should be shark diving, that's my point. It not only gets
people killed who go shark diving, but there is also good logic in the
idea that those sharks might come looking for food from someone who
was not stupid enough to train then to look to humans for food. What
is so difficult about that?
++++++++++++++++++++

I have very little sympathy for folks getting injured or killed while
involved in potential life threatening recreational activities such as
base
jumping and swimming with sharks.

Should we now start blaming the pilot when a sky diver dies after
jumping
off his plane and the parachute does not open?

No one put a gun to those folks heads to jump or dive..........where
does
taking responsibilities for ones actions kick in with you?- Hide quoted

You are missing the point. A fallen skydiver does not "teach" sharks
or airplanes to come closer to humans and kill innocents...

I missed nothing. Believe what you want Scott. Have a good evening.

In other words.....he totally missed the point, realizes it now, but wants
to brush you off rather than admit his error.

Good job!

Herring and a few others here would certainly connect to that!

Jim, your BFF Harry is the single most insulting person in rec.boats.
Why didn't you mention that?
