Let me get this straight. This guy, an experianced diver, goes out on a shark diving trip, knowing fully well sharks can be dangerous. He see's the operators baiting the water to attract sharks, which any diver knows can make sharks aggressive, he climbs into the water on his own with the sharks (no one apparently threw him in, no one made him get into the water). And you don't think he was responsible for his own actions. That the captian is somehow guilty of manslaughter. You can't possibly be serious. edited.. I can be serious, and I am..- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - At what point do people become responsible for their own welfare and the consequences of their own decisions? Should government, the courts, the lawyers, or just Big Brother in general always be available to rescue everybody who does a stupid thing? I'm sure the dive boat operator feels *terrible* about this tragedy, but manslaughter implies that the deceased was the unwitting or unwilling victim of a crime rather than a participant in a ridiculously stupid scheme to attract sharks to the area so he could jump into the water with them. |

How about if I start a new business where I find retarted folks to play russian roulette for a fee? I buy the gun, the bullets and provide a table and some friendly wagering.. Can I earn a living like that? How about if I do it in a neighborhood too, so the bullets can effect others who are innocent... That is what feel these "captains" are doing feeding the sharks, humans... Teaching them to eat humans.... who'd a thunk. But the guy signed the paper so it's ok... Silly.. |

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. |
