Luger dies in Olympic training-run crash

Should NBC have shown video of Nodar Kumaritashvili's death?

my thoughts are still no

Going by your theory you shouldnt play sports period.

Your just wrong on this one dude.

That's you're opinion.

But seriously, your argument is fucking ridiculous.

I see what you're saying, but if I'm a luger I don't want to die by flying off the course and hitting a pole. Completely preventable if some people had some common sense.

It would be like me dying because some douche hit me in the head with his hockey stick. That's not how I want to go out, even though I was doing something I love.

I'm not saying the dude WANTED to die. I'm saying that every motherfucker dies. At least the dude died doing something he loved rather than walking across a busy street and getting tagged by a bike messenger or some shit. Feel me?

And do you know the guy?

Pure stupidity to think your goal is everyone's goal.

Shut the fuck up numbnuts. Everyone dies. Everyone. When it comes to death, what's your goal?

Ok, following Bucklyle's logic, I should tell someone to stop being angry that they got herpes from a partner...I mean, they got it doing something they loved! Forget that your genitals are covered with painful warts..phhh..we're all going to die anyway. Nothing in this life matters. I'm a pessimistic existentialist...who cares what happens or how it happens? We're all going to die.


Seriously, the only thing more idiotic than your proclamation that it wasn't sad is your juvenile response to those who disagree with you.

You hurl yourself 90mph down a fucking icy path, bad shit may happen. You are going to die. This is a fact. How do you wanna go out?

I care how I die. That's exactly why I'm glad the guy died doing something he cared about rather than getting cancer when he's forty. Herpes and death aren't the same thing dipshit.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

You knew the guy?

Anyone that hurls themselves down an ice covered path is well aware of the fucking risks associated with what they're doing. The goal isn't to die at 21, it's to die doing something you love.

You think he ever thought, "Man, I hope when I go, it's by going back-of-the-neck-first into a steel pole at 90 MPH on a luge run." I don't.

Believe it or not, I actually see where you're trying to come from, but dying at 21 on a fucking training run is indeed unfortunate and sad. The guy didn't even get to experience participating in the entrance ceremony. He didn't even get to live a third or fourth of his life yet. Just because his death happened while he was doing his favorite sport doesn't negate the tragedy of his life being cut way, way short.

How many years...exactly..was he going to live? I'm impressed that you know these things.

Btw...ChaseBuckeye08 just told me he's pretty sure the dude lived 100% of his life. I nearly died doing something I love...laughing my ass off.

So if an airplane crashes into Tron's house while he is making fun of Taos, then it's a win.

Then this is about discomfort & fear regarding death.

If TRON dies, then it's a win for Earth.

I have neither.

It's about everyone else's fear and discomfort regarding death. No one should die, therefore it's sad when anyone dies.

Should have stuck to wrestling

The average life expactancy for a Georgian male is around 77 years nowadays. Granted, his living that long is purely an assumption, but regardless, any perfectly healthy person being snuffed out in the prime--actually, not yet in his prime--of his life is tragic. The fact it just happened to occur on a luge track and he was a luger is totally fucking irrelevent. It's not like he knew he was going to die when he started the run, thinking "Hey, although I'm only 21, if I crash and die today, I'll leave this world happy doing so." If anything, when he flew off his luge and knew he was headed toward the poles his last thoughts were probably pure terror...not exactly a happy way to go.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather die getting hit by a bus at 75 years old than to die while fucking the world's hottest Asian chick at 21 years old.

Yeah. We ain't cut from the same cloth. It's about quality, not quantity. But that's me.

You know, other than the 20-50 years of quality moments in between a 21-yr old & a 40 yr old dad or 75 yr old grandpa.

But as long as your death is epic, that's all that matters

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Hey, I ain't sayin' sacrifice quality for quantity. On that we totally agree. It's the fact the dude didn't even get the chance to get his quantity so he could put some quality into it. That fact is exacerbated by the fucking Canucks' cheap-assed failure to wall off dangerous curves. They skimped on a couple tens of thousands of dollars out of a multi-billion dollar overall budget, and it cost a 21-year-old kid his life. (cue up "Blame Canada"...)
