You really believe it's a Darwin moment when people who don't know how to swim still venture out to try and save someone who is drowning?

More convincing was the 7 wodies, (sp?) 1 life jacket. Kinda like 2 girls 1 cup but funnier! Come on I can't be the only one who understands Darwins theory!?

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

I was shocked when I heard about this a few weeks ago! Everyone should be taught to swim at a very young age.

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

Darwin award or "Selfless acts" award?

Sorry, but you sir have failed.

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

I concur

[QUOTE=Simon Preston;886953]Darwin award or "Selfless acts" award? Sorry, but you sir have failed.[/QUOTE] Fuck no! All those fucking assholes deserve Darwin awards. Srsly should have done some research like checking the trains schedule before sitting on the tracks holding eachothers nuts waiting for some bullshit apparition. You fail! And you probably would have been right up there with them!

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

Um, these "fucking assholes" deserved a Darwin Award for trying to save someone from drowning? Are you serious?

No, actually I was talking about my second link, where the man got hit by a real train waiting to see an apparition of a so called haunted train. The swimmers PARENTS I guess are the truly stupid ones for providing one life jacket for 7 kids. There lies the actual fail.

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

they weren't swimming...the ground caved in dipshit.

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

This wasn't as funny as I was hoping it to be :/

Suggest you go and look up previous award winners. There was nothing funny about the things you put up, and your gratuitous mention of 2 girls , 1 cup didn't help.

Re: Darwin Award Candidates?

Look guys, I'm not trying to look like some kind of bigot and get off to a horrible start with MS members. I can see your points and understand how insensitive and perhaps racist I must look. As a father and an experienced rafter/fisherman in my home state (CO) I was angered when I read this story because I feel that these children died due to negligence on the river that day. I'm sorry, but if these parents had made even one intelligent decision regarding the safety of their children, I don't think we'd even have anything to argue about. Forget the fact that they didn't have enough life vests, think about how none of the kids knew how to swim. If you even had one days worth of experience on any river you would know that there are undercurrents, eddies, and CHASMS that can put even the most experienced swimmers in danger (in the shallowest of waters). But, the parents overlooked these things, it's not the kids' fault but come on? How can you sit there and watch your children follow each other like Lemmings into the river and drown? Selfless acts award? Medal of courage? How about a visit from child protective services? I didn't read anything about the PARENTS actually jumping in and trying to save the kids. Shit, they could have even made a "human rope" from the shore. There were 7 + people, right? See, negligence. Maybe the Darwin nomination was a bit sarcastic, and yeah the Ghost Train story was a bit more ironic, but geez you guys are pretty sensitive. So maybe I dont know what the Darwin award really is for ;) but I don't give these people sympathy (I mean maybe if it were 1 or 2 of the kids, fack! even if it were just 6 of the kids) 7 fucking teenage children had to die because of their parents pure negligence. It pisses me off. Please school me (I'm into it) on whatever actual Darwin nominees you might want to share.

Dude! you might want to tone it down a bit on here, Just a thought

I kind of get your intention but the way you have presented the stories (especially the deaths of 7 innocent teens) and you misinterpret "negligence" with "stupidity". Darwin awards are for SHEER acts of dumbness.
