We may proudly state we'd walk into a near-certain deathtrap, nobly upholding our high-minded morals without hesitation, bravely sacrificing ourselves for a greater good, but until we actually face the moment, words are meaningless. The idea that anyone here is offended because these workers evacuated (after being told to do so by their government, no less) after risking their health and quite probably their lives is grotesque.

They volunteered to go into that nightmare, and now we are bothered because they decided that they can endure no more after enduring so much? Why not, we ask? They are probably dead anyway, so why shouldn't they finish the job? What have they got to lose, right?

The idea that traumatic experience is special to people in these situations is utterly moronic. We're all human beings. Did I say I would nobly uphold high-minded morals, you shitwit? No. I said I'd flog myself into it, overcoming terror and fear by imagining a six year old girl dying in a hospital bed of leukemia because I didn't. You're damned right, high minded shits frequently run like hell. Fathers and mothers, on the other hand, and people with parental instincts in general, however, have plenty of biological impulses that can be manipulated to do the right thing. I have been through plenty in my life and have some idea of my limits. Anguish is a better motivator than idealism, and I'm withdrawing from this thread because my hatred for your shitty little nattering is indescribable. INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL DIE if they don't go in. That isn't idealism, that's a little girl's body destroying her from the inside out. I HATE YOU.

Kanastrous: People obsessed with football may remember, just as people obsessed with badminton can probably tell you all about the great badminton players of 1911. So what? Will that save a life, create a product, open a field of science, lift a kilogram of anything to orbit, or achieve anything of the slightest practical value at all?

He's a set designer...

rioting because your sports hero has been fired for covering up child rape?

maybe you should step back and reconsider your world view.
