Hard to have sympathy if he survived. After all, that crao's just old hardware. He's lucky to be alive.

Frankly I'd give up everything I own for just one more day than my allotted time on Earth. But then I'm not very materialistic.
And again, what is the death toll from this so far?
Those (and their loved ones) are the ones that have my sympathy.

Quote from: fishy_fiz;608127
I guess we differ there. I have sympathy for everyone affected. And I dont think it's about being materialistic, joy comes from different places, and this guy obviously got joy from his hobby. Personally I'd rather live a short happy life than a drawn out one stripped of joy. Luckily for this guy however he still gets to do both.

Maybe its age, or the painful or bad things that have happened in my life, but I'd take it all, anyway I could get it, every last second and be grateful for it. You'd be surprised by a person's capacity for pain and sorrow and how in the end you still look back on it happy.

why was man born to suffer and die? Why not?
