Jeremy Lusk RIP

No offense taken my friend. As a vet I'm pretty touchy about our men and women in uniform. I gotta relax also. Lets just bury the hatchet here.

When somebody performs a stupid-dangerous stunt and dies, I feel about the same way towards them as to someone who jumped off a building.

IMO they don't deserve sympathy

Really? I find that hard to believe. What about somebody like Owen Hart who literally died doing a stupid -dangerous stunt (which a wrestler shouldn't have been doing IMHO) and literally died jumping from the rafters of a building? no sympathy? A man in his early thirties leaving behind a wife and kids. What about ACTUAL STUNTMEN????? didn't a guy die on the set of Dark Knight? didn't he die doing something ultimately for our entertainment. How is he any different than the young man riding a bike? I guess you don't know any young guys/girls who ski, snowboard, mountain bike, skateboard, have fun and live it up. Or maybe you never did anything stupid and dangerous as a young man? we all did, so I really doubt that.

No problem---

for the record---now that we got THAT out of the way---

I ALWAYS concede to the military (and police) in discussions about respect,
national/regional pride and all that---real life scenarios have been a
bit skewed sometimes (due to my OWN pride---jeez)---
but, yes, in theory I believe strongly that the one's assigned to protect us
should get my utmost respect.

... and anyone else that do something that takes risk, they know what they are getting into. It's their job , like Jeremy's job was to entertain people...

That's the basic idea of yours that I was "running with" after you posted
and Mike responded.

(If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in this mess! heh-heh)

Otherwise, I'd consider stopping while you're ahead----
'cause obviously the military is a borderline controversial topic
to go on about here----i.e. "dangerous"
