    Now you’re crumbling into name-calling. Not very manly. Do better and let it go.

    Stop it, you know I'm just pointing out the facts. Don't be so sensitive

    I think I see the issue: You actually think your opinions are facts, and apparently don't know the difference. Similar to many followers of the Orange Skidmark.

    Go back and read what you wrote in this thread - no factual statements - its all just opinion and insult.

    Too bad we don’t have the Darwin Awards circulating any more. It’s only February and we might have our No. 1 for 2025 already identified.

    We have a place at the beach and are there a lot from Spring until the end of September. Would probably go longer but we have a great winter renter who wants it from mid October to the first week in March. There is a big difference between an unfortunate incident and wading into the water to “engage” with a six foot bull shark.

    Is it too soon to ask to see the selfies?

    "I think Trump should reconsidered bringing Canada as our 51st state, we already have too many dumb asses between California and New York"

    100% factual.

    You might want to go read the top of TH, new rules. You just broke them, that's also a fact

    Oh my you are sensitive. Is this the point you follow the lead of Lindsey Graham and storm out in a huff?

    Feel sorry for her; and, it was totally her fault at the same time.
    Sorry - because she lost her hand(s).
    Story says "she attempted to engage with the shark..." And, she was successful. Play stupid games...

    You might want to go and read the definition of fact and opinion again, or in your case the first time, cause it is clear you have no clue what factual is.

    Woman lost BOTH of her hands in the incident, quite tragic, or if you are a conservative, a perfect opportunity to mock someone and make jokes about Canada. Ive never seen such massive insecurity in my life.

    Woman was an idiot who got in the water with a bull shark that was bigger than she was. Now.. what exactly was she doing that the shark got both her hands in his jaws? I don’t feel sorry for her at all. I feel sorry for the shark that was being used as a prop.
    People of every nation, state, skin color and political leanings are stupid. Just dumb.
    Let’s take a selfie with a bull shark
    Let’s pet a bison
    I bet I can sit on this alligator
    Ooohh a bear.. let’s sneak
    Up it and her cubs..
    Every year more and more idiots make the news.
    Don’t cry a tear for any of them. Just feel bad for the animals.

    Plenty of dumb ass conservatives who just must have that selfie next to a bison or at the top of a slippery waterfall.

    I must have missed the part where I referenced Canada, or libs, or anything disparaging. I was only referencing what an incredibly stupid thing this woman did.

    As has been quoted on this board many times, by libs and cons alike; “Do stupid things, win stupid prizes”. I’ve gotten some pretty good shots of many different animals in many different areas of the world. My preferred MO is to use a long, fast lens, not the wide angle on my phone camera.

    When I was at UF, there was a guy who would wade chest deep into Lake Alice and to get face to face with alligators. Even as a dipshit, drunken 18-19 year old I knew that dude was crazy.

    Considering experiences just in this message board, liberal wing nuts far outnumber any other persuasion by double digit multiples. Furthermore, actions by leftists since Trump’s victory serves to confirm that,

    Playing with sharks is a terrible idea. Mocking someone as a joke for being Canadian who lost both her hands is irredeemable in my opinion. I wasnt referring to your post.

    There were a lot of big boys and girls in that lake. Hope he lived to tell about it.
