Hey, at least they trust us with guns. Admittedly, case in point, it's a misplaced trust with some.

the only thing that is a shame is that it appears no one got video of it.

what a numbnuts... i hope i don't do anything that dumb when i'm older.

Anyone stupid enough to attempt this deserves to get hurt.

I guess if you get frustrated enough you start to lose your common sense (assuming the guy had any to begin with).....

if it cant be fixed the easy way, use guns!

He's still alive?

No Darwin Award for him.

Darwin Awards are given to those who stop their gene pool. One way of doing that is to kill yourself. The other way is to injure yourself so as to no longer be able to reproduce. If the shotgun blast had hit him a little higher than the legs, he'd be an eligible candidate for a Darwin Award.

right, and because he's still alive, he doesn't receive the darwin award. duh!

the other way is, of course, to be so weak in body and mind that no one will mate with you.

That's where the line "If the shotgun blast had hit him a little higher than the legs, he'd be an eligible candidate for a Darwin Award." meaning if he shot his hangy-downies then he'd be eligible. I know how the Darwin Awards work, I was telling others the deal.

oh FFS, I think you might be a part of the latter portion of my previous post.

I believe to win the Darwin award you must never have procreated as well. The award is for removing your genes from the gene pool, offing yourself in a stupid fashion after you've had kids means you do not qualify for a Darwin award.

This guy was older, IIRC. My guess is that he might already have had some kids.

To quote darwinawards.com:

Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:

Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.

To sum it all up:

The Darwin Awards can be considered a rusty chromosome award for those who douse the gene pool with chlorine.

I am getting very tired of these anti-American comments. I don't care if they are meant to be playful or not, they are unnecessary and disrespectful.

I just assume . Not many people over here have shotguns anyway and those that do have enough sense to respect them.

I found them to be quite funny, actually. Toughen up!

No, it's not funny to stereotype and humiliate the culture and people of an entire country.

I don't make anti-American comments. I have many american friends and they themselves make more than enough anti-american comments and general pokes at the stupidity of the government to keep me sated for a long time

Tell you what, as I'm sure you don't do it yourself, if you tell all your USA friends not to make anti-French / chinese/ jew / polack / arab jokes, I'll carry on not making anti-USA comments. Fair deal neh?

I think you're being just a liiiiiiiittle too sensitive about this.

I sure did! Typical Hollywood storyline; the earth is in trouble, use a nuke! I just didn't think the public would turn to using weapons when the easy method didn't work.

The only person I know with a gun is a headmaster at a local public school, so I suppose I can't disprove your theory!
