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.

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.

I agree.

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..

I don't think so. I am not trying to sound like what's his face... Are
you suggestint that just because I can talk someone into paying me to

Chomping at the bit to get started. But I am still fighting off the
health issues, I may have to change my plans if I can't get a handle
on the lung issues. Already lost the horses, now maybe the boats
too... sucks..

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.
