They are following their instinct, not making a moral choice. It's not the same as blaming someone when they are the victim of a crime that another person chose to commit. --- You'll see motivational pictures about working hundred hour weeks/Well, it only applies to those who are operating at a really basic level ...

How are people just getting dumber and dumber? I'd say Fox News, but its the entire capitalist entertainment-media infrastructure. Vapid pro-capital news that pretends the rest of the world doesn't exist while fixating on horse race politics... Cheap, disposable, mindless entertainment that never risks challenging viewers. Oh, and social media reinforcing this. Finally, people being encouraged or forced to work and constantly produce so there is little time to read or engage in creative or intellectual pursuits. --- Be careful: I was moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.

Over in Gatlinburg there is a driving trail that sometimes has wild black bears that will appear. It takes like a hour to get through a 5 mile trail because if a bear is seen there will be people stopping there cars to get out and get photos. Youll see people with their kids trying to get as close as they can to get photos too. People are dumb as rocks.

They will often give animals human names and apply human style logic to their behavior to make a more relatable show. Couple that with a general lack of actual knowledge of the outdoors and wild animals and you get morons doing stupid things. There are numerous studies and articles about it, it's a real concern and not something just made up. --- http://i.imgur.com/6VeX04D.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X86b9rkCdDI ...

Never ever get better a Mother bear and her cubs....You will get fucked up. Same with dear, and I have a story to back that. I was Canoeing at dawn in the Adirondacks and saw a couple of fawns playing in the water. I took a look, until Mama, showed up, She would have fucked me up if I wasn't in the Canoe. She Snoffed and hit pounded her huffs in the ground resonating the mountain soil and bed rock. She was totally saying, don't even fuck with us. Never get in between an animal and it's young.

Why the fuck were they sprinting towards the bears, one carrying a small child? I don't even see phones in their hands to take pictures. Just running at full speed towards potential death.

Running toward a bear and their cubs. I could maybe understand slowly walking toward them in a non-threatening manner. But most animals read "running toward" as "attacking." They're lucky that mama or papa, whichever it was, didn't treat them apart. <_< ... Copied to Clipboard!

Black bears are the easiest to contend with, as the video shows they just ran away instead of showing any hostility, and if they are hostile they're like the only ones you can realistically fight against.
So for me I think the stupidity comes mostly from how they ruined the moment for everybody as opposed to the danger they were putting themselves in. That woman on the side calmly taking pictures is what I'm talking about. Were it not for those assholes more people could have enjoyed that moment. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...
