LMAO omg

Poor guy - I think the rescuers should make the ppl that hefted him up and then abandoned him pay for the rescue... Might make people think about things a bit ;) But then I could also see that turning very bad... (imagining people being left "MIA" in remote places)

People can be so egocentric...it's just unbelievable
Sometimes the majority means all the fools are on the same side.
Don't be so open minded your brains fall out.

Seems the only ones interviewed for that article, was the rescuers. I, obviously, understand their sentiments. Being called out because people overestimated their ability,,,,, oh,, wait,,, that's why they are generally called out.

Still,,, assholes abide. If you have had at least three good AB friends,, all your age,,,, you've done something stupid, too. If not,,, I kinda feel sorry for you.

Ummm, I dunno about you, but I'd throw a hissy fit if six people decided to leave me by myself stranded on the side of the mountain!
