my point is that responsible use acknowledges this possibility IN ADVANCE and we make pre-arrangements to keep it from happening. this is something we like to enourage the new guys to consider nudge nudge wink wink.
Yep indeed, that was also the point I was trying to make about the mountain trip and the young guy; I prepared in depth and thereby went about reducing risk as far as I could. IF I hadn't then I think Stepp's point re hypocrisy would stand, or at least, inconsistency.
I would love to talk with him about his trip. He probably looks at it as a disaster of a trip, but from the right perspective, it can be seen as a beautiful learning experience.
As Heraclitus said, "To God, all things are beautiful, good and right. Men, on the other hand, deem some things right and others wrong."
Shit happens.
"Beautiful learning experience" ? It could be, FOR HIM. But IF TRUE (ok Stepp, working hypothesis?), then I'm quite sure it wouldn't have been for anyone around him.
"As Heraclitus said: To God, all things are beautiful, good and right. Men, on the other hand, deem some things right and others wrong."
As Starshadow said: "Any such god is an asshole, I'm with Prometheus and Lucifer."
"Shit happens." INDEED !!! And the point is that you CAN reduce the probability of shit happening.
Oh I didn't see there was a new member! Welcome, Illegealsmiles!
Hi IllegalSmiles ! Ditto ! I vaguely saw your handle at the side and had the impression I'd seen it many times before. Like your name
