This is callous and ridiculous. Were these kids guilty perhaps of some naivete? Yes.

If you read a more full account of their experiences, you can see that they were adventurous people - and certainly not pussy snowflakes.
Anyone celebrating these people being killed is entirely morally bankrupt.

Call it what you will but this is the entire meaning of "play stupid games and you win stupid prizes"... I hate to break it to them, you and the rest of the world but there are MANY evil m'fers in this world and there always will be...
You want to go bicycling off into the sunset in their country and you get what you deserve...
Morally bankrupt? Hardly but I have seen what these fine upstanding citizens of the world are capable of...

So, laughing that they died from stupidity is defined as "celebrating"? silliness.
Spare me the moral outrage and lecture. These idiots are:
1) DEAD...so my laughing ain't hurting them at all
2) They WERE stupid enough to deserve the derision they are getting.

FFS, this tired bullshite again.
Trust me. No one ever gave a damn about “participation” trophies other than the parents. At most they’re mementos.

Did they make some stupid mistakes? Sure. They also lived a lot more and had a lot more conviction than the average a-hole sitting comfortably at home laughing at them.

Can we start a Go Fund Me for bicycles and plane fares and send more people who have been wasting their lives working

I somewhat disagree. I get, sort of, what you're saying, but if their death helps some people to realize how dangerous the progressive & Muslim ideologies are to the world then I think their deaths will have some good meaning.

If you consider 29 to 30 years old, "living more"...
Hey, props to them, they "lived" for 389 days after they started their glorious journey, well 388 days and some hours but you get the point...
Mankind is not inherently good and hasn't been since well, you probably know the story...

quote:I in turn sort of agree with what you're saying - but that's different than celebrating their deaths. I actually am not sure they had any particularly moslem aspect to their trip, but I would be very happy for this to be good publicity for islam being the scourge that it is. If anything, this hasn't gotten nearly enough publicity.

But I do think this severe of an event was an outlier, even for the terrorism they have had there - which has been largely focused on government targets. I'm sure all sorts of hikers and bikers go through there and none have been killed like this before now.

I mean, you could say the same general thing about someone who decided to go to Israel and then got blown up in a suicide bomb attack. Would they be stupid or just unlucky in that scenario? We all know that suicide bombings are possible there. It's all about risk/reward. Despite what just happened to these two, it is still vastly unlikely to happen to any given traveler there.

Four fewer terrorists and two fewer democrats who want to import them. I'd call that a solid day's wotk.
