Only Certain People (Repfanz Op)

Have you ever watched those documentaries in which people do stupid stuff with animals or go places where death is iminent. Don't you just hate turning on your telly and seeing a news report about some biker or hiker who was riding his/her bike on a mountain bike trail, where signs are posted about the wildlife, most noteably rattlesnakes or mountain lions and said person either gets bitten or attacked by these territorial animals. The public goes in shock and the animal is usually killed, so they won't harm the next lackadaisical individual. How about people who swim in our oceans, they go far out and shocked when a shark attacks them. Oh by the way, disregarding the news report about shark sightings and the attack of someone else, I dunno! the day before.

Have you noticed that it's certain people who get caught in these situations. How about these individuals, the State Department as long as I can remember, puts out a list of countries that aren't safe to go. People going there are going at their own risk. So having said that, why in the hell when I turned on my radio, was I hearing reports about people who are basically stuck in Lebanon crying about not having a way out of harms way. Grant it, there was no way they would have foreseen all of this, but then again, this happens all the time in that region. Why now is the Government responsible for getting these people outta of there, when they were forewarned!

Remember this saying: "A hard head makes a soft ass"

That little saying fits so well.
