No, and I'd usually give you a few examples now if the topic weren't so depressing. As a fresh daddy of a daughter, this makes me just so nauseated.

Congrats Alex. I've got 4 daughters myself and I'm right there with you. I'd be more likely to throw the rescuers in after her.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.

Why wasn't he jumping in?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm a mommy not a daddy, but I would have been in the water.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

If he was worried about strange men touching her, why wasn't he jumping in to get her out, instead of holding back the rescuers? Or why didn't he take the time to get to know the lifeguards, whose job it is to rescue people who are drowning?
It's always sad when people get killed by stupidity, especially when it's someone else's stupidity.

Trapped in a burning building? "No, don't touch her."
What if she was being raped, and it meant her rescuers had to touch her for a second or two?
How do you go through life, not touching your child? Or, is there a certain age, when touching your child, is dishonorable?
I also wonder what religion this sicko was.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

I suspect the same thing. The only thought going through my head would be getting my daughter to safety, and you could barely call it a thought. My beliefs and opinions on things like honor wouldn't have even weighed in.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
