that is not a fair statemnet to make. are you saying climbers who get
hurt, or climbers in general are like terrorists, since people can get
hurt??

or the people who get caught in a storm on the sea and someone dies
rescuing them.

there are people who deidcate their life's work to helping others. should
the cliombers have been left up tehre, since as you say 'they're too dumb
anyway'

why are most climbers doctors, and programmers and writers and highly
skilled personel? are they dumb?

actually, i don't know if a message was sent. i know that for the mt
ranier incident, someone climbed down in a snowstorm(?) to get help.

do they not have the right to ask for help?

again,. you're comparing climbewrs to criminals. i think that's wrong.

which means that the burnhms must've been dumb since they got captureed
and people died trying to save them

you cvan't say just because somene got hurt, and then someo other people
who try to help also get hurt that it's the fault of the injured party.

they chose to try to help.

actually, i guess you can say whatever you like.

and you can even think that climbers are nuts. it does take skill and it
is hard work and it does take brains. you might not approve but that's no
reason to compare us to criminals and blame us for people getting hurt.

the rescuers are as highly skilled, if not more skilled than the
climbers.

and i'm going to stop arguing, since i don't think anyone belevies me,
and i am not here to change any one's mind.  just to protest the unfair
comparisons. (:
it's a sport. we're crazy and smart, not stupid.
 and i love it.
