and extremely stupid

 

Authorities are calling on people to be more responsible after a man jumped from a fishing vessel following a drunken argument at sea early yesterday morning.

 

The man told his two associates he was swimming towards another boat - about 6km away - and when they could no longer see him, they raised the alarm fearing he was in danger.\

 

The man, in his early 40s, had been intent on swimming towards a boat near Chamberlains Bay - only he was swimming in the wrong direction.

Darwinisim - let him go.....

Now now IT,

When I made the equivalent statement about just letting guys do as they want and letting them worry about the consequences, I upset all sorts of people on here. That was in relation to the 3 guys that got lost and ran out of petrol the day after buying their new boat. So what is it, are we happy with self determination and personal responsibility, or do we need the state and bureaucrats to protect us from ourselves?
