Bunch of dumb 4ucks

posted 8 years ago by vibrasphere

Has responsibilities, families, children. Decides to climb to a mountain where there's nothing on the top of it, and overall majority of humanity even don't give a 4uck if you made it, knows lots of peoples died there, nobody asked them to climb. Still climbs. And 4cking dies.

Then, after 20 years makes a move how tragic it was and hopes you will feel bad for them.

If those dumb 4ucks didn't climb back then, today they would be probably still alive and with their children.

"Hey honey, I know we have a new born on the way, so imma go risk my life right now for no 4cking reason". Dies.

Born and raised with no father and forced to live with the fact that he was a dumb 4uck and cared about some 4ucking mountain that has no reward.

I'm sorry, but this just 4cking triggers me. Stupid people making stupid things, then dies and movie industry hopes you will feel pity for them. No, just no.

I wouldn't use your language but I do totally agree with you. An exceptionally selfish, narcissistic thing to do. Plus there's so many climbers on this mountain that human excrement and garbage is a problem. When areas melt it's said to be very smelly at sone bade camps or in well travelled paths. I'll never visit such natural wonders only because I respect nature in its pristine state.

I've heard the same thing, that it actually isn't a beautiful mountain it once was because of all the trash, oxygen tanks, clothes, ruined tents, discarded ropes, latters, even needles from the medication they use and all the left bodies etc up there and it now has a smell because of it and crisp, clean air you would imagine so many miles away from civilization.

How do you know, have you been there?

How is that any different than going for a drive, when 33,000 people die a year in car accidents(U.S.)?

Is that what she thinks? Or just you?

Humanity often NEEDS to drive, in order to sustain itself, and you have a MUCH higher chance of death in an attempt to climb Everest!

I mean... I'm all for people doing what they want to do, despite the opinions of others... but the comparison you made is a pretty facile one. You climb Everest, and you ought to be aware beforehand that the odds are against you; in most cases, the same cannot be said about driving. As high as the mortality rate is, it's still very low, in light of the proportion of people who do it... In that department, Everest is a whole other ballgame.

If someone told you there were no animals running around on the Moon, would you say the same thing? Idiot. It's well known and documented what the top of Everest is like.

Leaving aside the fact that they're totally different things - cars being a virtual necessity for many people in modern civilization, while climbing the highest mountain in the world is a luxury for rich asshats - 33 000 people dying a year out of roughly 200 million licensed drivers is a death rate of about 0.02 percent. Meanwhile roughly 4 percent of all climbers have died on Everest. Before the mountain really began to open up in the 90's, the fatality rate was closer to 40 percent. So yeah, it's pretty fcking different to going for a drive, moron.

I agree. Through most of the movie I was thinking, are we supposed to feel sorry for these people.

[–] Gabe1972 8 years ago

At least they have the guts to try something you are too scared to do. Your armchair critique of their lives and guts to do something like this means absolutely jack, and shows how little of a person you truly are.

Remember, when it comes to the world, YOU don't matter.

It's not guts to foolishly endanger your life with the naive notion that death only happens to other people, and that you'll be the one to make it out okay. That's how most of these climbers think. None of these people go to Everest thinking they will die that day.

Go watch Nightmare on Everest. Even after experiencing the deadly earthquake firsthand, one of the survivors still framed the avalanche as nothing more than chance. According to her, if they hadn't been at base camp that day, they would've all survived. She still didn't get it that Everest is dangerous, period. To her, it's still, "Well, it was just pure dumb luck that we were there when the earthquake happened."

BTW, it's because of these "gutsy explorers" that sherpas have been exploited by Westerners, even dying in the process. 16 of them were killed alone in 2014:

You may call the OP a coward, but at least he doesn't have the deaths of sherpas on his hands or is directly responsible for their exploitation. Admire these "gutsy explorers" now?

This is the second biggest bucket of hogwash on this board. The Sherpas are hardly "exploited" by Westerners. They have a choice whether to risk their lives or not. NO ONE is forcing them to do it. It provides a decent income for their families. They are physically much more capable of climbing the mountain and surviving than anyone in the world. They also know the mountain better than anyone else and are the ones who will be the first to turn around if they think it is too dangerous. I repeat. NO ONE is forcing them to endanger their lives. You simply don't know what you're talking about.

give me a stage where this bull here can rage and though I can fight I'd much rather recite.

Some of those people paid upwards of $60k for that trip. Scared, no. I wouldn't do that as I have no interest in hiking, going to Nepal, or spending a years gross pay to do that. I did a hike to 49 palms oasis in Joshua Tree and that was enough.

[–] Gabe1972 8 years ago

Right, but you don't call them a bunch of dumb ***** for pursuing their dreams.

The OP makes the ridiculous mistake of thinking that anyone who doesn't think the way he/she does is a moron. Pitiful.

[–] leader (2046) 7 years ago

They deserve to be called that when their dreams are dumb though. Just climb a safer mountain, gosh.

[–] kass-jazz 8 years ago

Totally agree, it was hard to feel much sympathy. I understand they wanted the sense of achievement and prestige or whatever that comes with climbing Everest but to the point where it costs your life just seems stupid to me. And to do it when you have a family sat at home worried sick about you just seems really selfish and irresponsible.

I didn't feel pity for them - they knew what they were getting into... but, the movie doesn't HAVE to make you feel pity; it can be just telling a story. What the audience feels is up to them.

I didn't notice a lot of cheesy music trying to manipulate people into sobbing at the drama? If any of that was there, then it surely could've been much worse than how it ended up.
