Has anyone seen this on Discovery? I am amazed at the depths of human stupidity after watching this show. These guys documented climbing Mt. Everest and lastnight it was showing guys as they neared the summit. There were guys that could barely move yet had to be begged to turn around so that they wouldnt die trying to reach the summit. They showed the bodies strawn along their path where people had died on the Mtn in the past. They also passed a guy who was litterally left for dead. The guy was out of oxygen and frostbit. His team had left him there alone. The documenting team was trying to decide if they should give him oxygen or not. They gave him a few breaths but had to argue about if they should give him more which would have endangered all their lives. So they litterally had to walk away from this dying man on Mt. Everest. There are hundereds of unrecovered dead bodies on the mountain because it is next to impossible to recover them. Yet these morons keep going there and trying to get to the top. People have already been there. It's got snow on it and it's real tall. I've seen pictures. There's nothing there. No riches, women, or heaven. I know it's a great view but a postcard will do just fine for me. I can't understand why anyone with any sense would endanger their lives to do this.

QUOTE(Ouch @ 12/21/06 5:01pm)  Lol i have been watching it also. I have just seen the first two episodes. These people also had to come up with $40,000 dollars each to do this. Wow. The stupidity deepens. The compassionate part of me wants to feel bad for them. The logical, common sense, self preserving part of me that I normally listen to says that they are morons and deserve a cold oxygen deprived death for being arrogant enough to think they are above natures fury. So much good could be done with that $40,000 each they are blowing on their arrogance. Junkie -------------------- Give a man a match and he's warm for a min.
