This is what happens when you try to kiss a shark
Look, these guys arn't 7 yr old kids. they are grown adults. Grown and
mature are two different things. I'm sure the guy is mature enough to know the dangers and risks of doing what he did. I too,wouldn't necessarily call him an "idiot" by your dictionary deffinition, but I really don't think these guys have much common sense. Like a guy that is buffing something at a wire wheel. he could be warned of the dangers of not wearing safey goggles, but continues to buff away. His philosophy might be that no wire or hot sparks have ever hit him in the eye(yet) so why wear them? I know of several people who are brilliantly wealthy, but bankrupt when it comes to common sense. basskisser wrote: Reginald P. Smithers III wrote: basskisser wrote: Reginald P. Smithers III wrote: basskisser wrote: wrote: basskisser wrote: Yeah, anyone who would dare to actually experiment, have fun, try new things, be open minded, etc. must be totally foolish. Like sticking ones tongue in a live light socket There's nothing like experience for a teacher. Do you shelter your kids from climbing trees because they may get a boo-boo? Do you not let them run for fear of a scraped knee when they fall? Do you not let them swim for fear of drowning? Do you watch their every move to make sure they don't do something you think will harm them or get them dirty? Sheesh. I know I would tell my kids not to kiss a shark, do not stick your hand into the prop while it is turning, or dive into unknown water without checking the depth of the area to make sure the entire area is deep enough for diving. There are many things where the consequences is so great, that you do not want your children to learn through experience. Kissing or harassing a shark, even a Nurse Shark, is one that falls into catagory. I am surprised that anyone would disagree, but in rec.boats, I learn something new everyday. Not doing the big things comes from common sense, by letting them do the little things, they learn. Just because a guy decides to kiss a shark, which he's probably done before, seeing how he has considerable experience with sharks, doesn't make him an idiot. I would bet if you asked the guy who kissed the shark if he thought he was an idiot i bet he would say yes. I would also guess he is not going to be kissing any other sharks. Anyone with real experience with Sharks would tell you not to harass or kiss a shark. I'd bet he may say he shouldn't have done it, possibly say it was foolish, but I doubt he'd say he was an idiot. id‧i‧ot  /ˈɪdiət/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[id-ee-uht] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. an utterly foolish or senseless person. 2. Psychology. a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25. Have you ever done things that afterward, you wish you hadn't? If not, you must have been wrapped in bubble wrap all of YOUR life. If so, do you consider yourself "utterly foolish" or having a mental age of less than 3 years old and an IQ under 25? When me and my brothers were kids, we lived in the country. We were also quite wild, spent most of our time in the woods by ourselves, or down at the river. I can name many, many things that we did that weren't exactly brilliant, but sure was fun! My uncle, who raised us, was pretty damned good at the butterfly bandage, I'll tell you that! All three of us became productive citizens, all three of us in fields demanding technical skills and knowledge. Hardly "idiots". |

Based upon the dictionary you chose to use, you and I completely agree. A person who kisses a shark is behaving in an manner that would be considered foolish and senseless. ie your first definition of idiot. The 2nd definition you listed is from an old psychological classification system no longer in use is now considered offensive to the mentally retarded. id·i·ot (d-t) n. 1. A foolish or stupid person. 2. A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive. Today, the term idiot is used to mean someone who is foolish or stupid. The gentleman who kissed the shark might be intellgent, but as as you said and based upon your definition he can still be considered an idiot because when one kisses a shark it is considered foolish and stupid. The person who kisses a shark is an idiot, at least when is around sharks. Do you know the most common words of an idiot just before he dies? "Hey, watch this". id‧i‧ot  /ˈɪdiət/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[id-ee-uht] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. an utterly foolish or senseless person. 2.

What about a boat? Again, they are dangerous, and everyone KNOWS it, so only an idiot would go out in one. |

You are acting very foolish in this discussion. No logical discussion would compare kissing a wild shark in the same category as taking reasonable risks, ie driving a car, mowing a lawnmower, or driving a boat. Now if you compared it to trying to stop the blade of a lawnmower with your hand, or even turning the lawnmower upside down and using the lawnmower bland as a fan to cool off, I would go along with your analogy. As I said, "Hey watch this". So, the next time you go diving or snorkling are you going to kiss a shark? If not, why not? |

I'll guarantee that the odds of you being injured in a car wreck are greater than getting bit by a shark. Same with using a rotary lawn mower. Look, if you watch the video, the manner in which he tried to kiss the shark was on TOP of the nose. You guys make it sound like he was trying to french kiss the damned thing! I'll bet with the way he handled it, the speices, the setting, the manner in which he tried to kiss it, that the odds were actually quite low that he'd get bit. I have a friend in Florida, who grew up in Aruba, and basically lived in the tropical waters. We were out in the gulf, and he caught a six foot hammerhead. Now, this guy you to catch them to sustain himself, so again, he knows what he's doing. He tires it out, then jumps in the water, and with a flick, throws it in the boat. Would I have done that? No. Was it risky? Yes. BUT, he knew what he was doing. |

Around the mid-west, you hear gross mis-pronunciations like "Worsh" ,
or "Woish" instead of "wash". Aluminum, amazingly turns into "alumium", Starter ie starter-motor, is now a "Storter" And a lot of people love to grab a pole and "feesh" Inch can be pronounced "heench" as in " a half a heench", and (I love this one), I suppose that instead of saying "1/8th of a mile" it's so much easier to say " a half a quarter..."

So it's an Atlanta thing? I'm south of Kevin, but I'm not really in The South. I guess "fixin'" is a word, too. It's an upstate NY thing, too. We have a large contingent of people who were born here, never left here, but have confederate flag stickers all over their pickup trucks. They say "boughten", "crick" (instead of creek), "acrost from my house", etc. Puttin' food by - there's another, instead of "canning". Puttin' food by where? By the dishes? |

Like sticking ones tongue in a live light socket There's nothing like experience for a teacher. Do you shelter your kids from climbing trees because they may get a boo-boo? Do you not let them run for fear of a scraped knee when they fall? Do you not let them swim for fear of drowning? Do you watch their every move to make sure they don't do something you think will harm them or get them dirty? Sheesh. I know I would tell my kids not to kiss a shark, do not stick your hand into the prop while it is turning, or dive into unknown water without checking the depth of the area to make sure the entire area is deep enough for diving. There are many things where the consequences is so great, that you do not want your children to learn through experience. Kissing or harassing a shark, even a Nurse Shark, is one that falls into catagory. I am surprised that anyone would disagree, but in rec.boats, I learn something new everyday. Not doing the big things comes from common sense, by letting them do the little things, they learn. Just because a guy decides to kiss a shark, which he's probably done before, seeing how he has considerable experience with sharks, doesn't make him an idiot. I would bet if you asked the guy who kissed the shark if he thought he was an idiot i bet he would say yes. I would also guess he is not going to be kissing any other sharks. Anyone with real experience with Sharks would tell you not to harass or kiss a shark. I'd bet he may say he shouldn't have done it, possibly say it was foolish, but I doubt he'd say he was an idiot. id‧i‧ot  /ˈɪdiət/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[id-ee-uht] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. an utterly foolish or senseless person. 2. Psychology. a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25. Have you ever done things that afterward, you wish you hadn't? If not, you must have been wrapped in bubble wrap all of YOUR life. If so, do you consider yourself "utterly foolish" or having a mental age of less than 3 years old and an IQ under 25? When me and my brothers were kids, we lived in the country. We were also quite wild, spent most of our time in the woods by ourselves, or down at the river. I can name many, many things that we did that weren't exactly brilliant, but sure was fun! My uncle, who raised us, was pretty damned good at the butterfly bandage, I'll tell you that! All three of us became productive citizens, all three of us in fields demanding technical skills and knowledge. Hardly "idiots". Bubble wrap? Your newest catch phrase, Kevin? You should really try to be original once in a while. It will make you more of "a man"! And Kevin wonders why he is still the "King"???? |

Sounds like Garrison Keillor's version of Norwegian bachelor farmers. :-)
