SO is skiing down a hill. So is swimming in the ocean. So is water sking. But people do it all the time.WHy because they love to. It is selfish for people to do what they want to do? I do not think so. Like I said before the familes did not oppose them doing it. They also knew the risk.
Climbing up that mountain, in the dead of winter, without the proper equipment, is not wise. And they died.
I'm not sure why you'd compare doing what they did to skiiing or swiming in the ocean. But those that think this behavior is okay seem to come up with any excuse to justify it. I don't agree with you, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion as much as I am.
Yes, I personally feel it was extremely selfish for these guys to have done what they did. It's as simple as that.
I have children and the last thing I'd do is something as risky as that. I love my kids too much. Yes, I know things can happen, and they do, but why put yourself in a risky situation when you don't need to? Just because they got their high from this.
I think these men were fools, and now their children are going to grow up without a father. They knew the risk, yet were still willing to do this for their own personal pleasure. I find that to be very selfish and sad.
If I was burying my husband because of something like this, I would be so very unhappy. It didn't have to happen. And too bad they weren't prepared to spend the night. Maybe that would have saved their lives. People do stuipd things all the time...sometimes they live to talk about it, sometimes they don't. Some are willing to take that risk, others are not. I fall into the latter catagory...as does my husband.
It's obvious that we don't agree on this issue.
