I cant understand daredevils.

But other than your own fucking narcissism why would you do something absolutly bat shit insane just to say "I did it".

Why assume there is any other reason?

You got me on that, good point. But not a rational point. If we like masturbating to get attention, just don't pretend that is not what we are doing.

Most sky divers, bungee jumpers and daredevils in general do it for the adrenaline rush.

I doubt rationality is a big factor in their decision-making process.

MIAMI (AP) - The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.

Frankly, I regard it as chlorine in the gene pool.

This skydive seems to be nothing more than a superflous ego trip. The men who risked getting to the moon accomplished something. I simply dont see what this skydive means to him or humanity.

I don't know why people would want to drive nails into their nostrils or stretch their earlobes to soda can size either, but you know what ... they aren't hurtin anybody and if that's what makes them happy, I'll gladly buy them the nails and the soda cans if they keep their god to themselves and give me the same courtesy to enjoy my life as I see fit.



Regarding high risk adventures: If you don't understand it ... you never will.

[Whateverist]

I agree that sensationalist risk taking for the sake of attention seeking is a little cheesy. But I fully well understand the appeal of an old fashioned adrenaline rush. I'm going to have to agree with Jon on this one. (Watching the first clip led to watching three more.)

I am stuck in a sensible sober life, I am so happy that I spent twenty years doing things which were totally out of order.

Well, admittedly I am merely bitching, and quite the hypocrite who smokes and drinks and might make Hitchens envious of my consumption. But at least we don't predend that our risk taking is something to be worshiped or admired.

[jonb]

But I admire the people who take risks, I like to see it, other people like football. As such they cannot be pretending to have a following as they have at least one admirer.
