In reply to the discussion: Hawaii Tourist Threw Rock at Endangered Seal: Everything We Know So Far [View all]whathehell
(30,547 posts)43. Okay, as I said in my first post,
I'm not including the creep who threw a rock at the seal..That's less "stupid" in my view than CRUEL, and I despise animal cruelty and those who perpetrate it..Having said that, I don't know that even they
deserve an automatic death penalty.
As to the "stupid" meme, okay, maybe you, along with myself and most others, are not that kind of stupid, but most, if not all of us have been SOME kind of stupid, including the kind engaged in life threatening risks. Ever read "The Darwin Awards"?
What I don't get is the enormous anger being leveled here at people who've most likely already paid a steep price for their stupidity. Anger at cruelty? Absolutely..Anger at "stupidity"?..Not nearly so much.

I agree with you and the point is well taken. Consequences for both, but the morality issue is different. /nt
