Anyone see this movie or know about Tim? If so, do you think he was crazy or do you believe in what he did.

Either way, its very sad...

I wouldn't call him crazy immediately, just stupid. incredibly stupid. People don't get that the park officials KNOW what they're talking about when they warn about bears. Idiots like Tim fail to remember that bears are truly wild animals, they cannot be domesticated, no matter how hard you try. The only thing I hated about it was that that faggot had to get his girlfriend killed too. What's worse is that the fucking douchebag that profited off the film "insists" that the holder of the audio recording of the attack should be destroyed. How dare he, he already took into possession over 100 hours of footage by Tim, why the fuck should we be denied that sum of all recordings? This is really just another sob story about a bunch of imbeciles who thought they were God.

Uh, that's a bit of an over-reaction.

I have not seen the film, but I have heard of it. As I understand it, the guy was no idiot. He was able to do things nobody else had ever done in terms of living with bears. He was hardly claiming they were cuddly and harmless - and it's not like his girlfriend didn't know the risks. Sure I don't think trying to interact with a bear like that in its natural habitat is a particularly great idea, but then I don't think smoking cigarettes is a particularly great idea and apparently several people do that. The problem with a lot of documentaries is that you have to find a story, and the story in this case could either be "this guy is a loony" or "this guy was a genius" and considering he died, it's obvious which one of those is the most realistic.

But look at Steve Irwin. He died because he got too close to a wild animal, as he had done thousands of times before, it just so happened that this one stingray was the one that eventually killed him. So what happens after that? A bunch of fucking morons dive into the sea to kill stingrays in revenge, as if they were all working in cahoots to plan Irwin's death. But prior to the stingray, he'd not only gotten away with it, he had done it to educate, to entertain, and ultimately he knew the risks going in.

This bear guy, he died doing something he believed in, and eventually he got caught out. It's certainly his fault, but that doesn't mean he deserved it.

That may be true, but like I said earlier about the bears being poached after he died, not killed by angry fans, poached by real poachers.

Backwards how, just because I think differently than you, just because I don't feel the need to conform to what every fucking atheist want to force me to believe. Sure I
could accept the scientific reality and ideologies for life, but I just couldn't give a crap about that. Why? Because it fucking pricks like you who honestly believe that their
way of thinking is the only rational one to be applied in any case. Realize that protestanism branches into different denominations, with different doctrines, and different practices, who are you to know what you're talking about when you only read the synopsis.
Might I ask you, vital research for what? What the fuck does researching bears even hope to accomplish? Does there blood magically cure cancer, can they fly?

1. I was generalizing, which doesn't apply to you entirely.
2. You're repeating what I've already stated. in other words that is.
3. Hmm, lemme think if humans have hunted mammals and fish for millenia, why would we stop just now. What would that really accomplish vs. the reality of what's left to be saved not numbering anywhere near what we've killed off. Also, how many people regularly eat bear meat in the first place? I honestly thought beef/chicken/pork/fish had become staples...

I dont' disagree, cept for the global warming farce. I'm assuming you're one of those people who watch the same global warming threat video with the polar bear and cub on the broken glacier that's been played continuously and the whole recycle bullshit for almost 2 years.. but I could be wrong. Damn chinese pplz, why the fuck do they overpopulate when they're so dirt poor, they need to get AIDS instead of africa where.... oh wait... africa would be the same. Honestly, I see africa as a forsaken land, where they chose to stay primitive and continue their uncivilized actions for no good reason. That's why they have AIDS, why do we(in america, I have no idea if you guys not from here have the commercials) have to pay to save these kids from an incurable disease and life. Sure, they could go to school and get 3 squares.. but where the fuck would they get jobs in their country? Last I checked, the governments hoarded their money and are not gonna change anytime soon. +They are still so dumb despite international efforts, that witch doctors still exist and spread their idiotic ideas throughout.

It's actually Jesus R. Christ, his middle name was Randolph.

What a load of absolute shit.

Yes, many African tribes would like to keep their way of life the same as the always have done, what's so bad about that? Why do they have to join us in the modern world? If they're happy on their on, let them be.

But the fact of the matter is, that it is NOT the African's fault that they are starving and poor, it's ours. End of story. And if your too ignorant and obnoxious to realise that then I can in good confidence say that if your god is real, he thinks your a real ass hole. And if your god doesn't think your a real ass hole, you know what? Fuck him. How can you say that the Christian god is more 'intelligent' than African's beliefs? Beliefs are beliefs and yes I agree many of their opinions and beliefs may be wrong in terms of my morals, for instance the slaughter of children that are 'witches'. Now obviously not all Africans are like that but I'm using an example.

BUT, if you DO want to educate them in your wonderful wisdom, how about you give them some of your stuff? How about we share some of what we've got rather than having it all to ourselves. Of course they're not bloody academically intelligent in terms of Western definition of intelligent because most of them don't even go to fucking school! International efforts? What a load of piss. We still demanded outrageous debts from the nations despite the fact they do not have the economy to support the repayment of them so we have to have some man go and make a gig for our cunts we call a government to actually bloody realise what they're doing. Red Nose Day, charities etc. is NOT international efforts, it doesn't even scratch the surface of jack shit over in Africa, which is on a scale larger than you could possibly comprehend.

But the worst thing of all, is that there is nothing we can do about it. Because there will always people in this world like YOU who will refuse to accept that these people need our help and refuse to accept responsibility of everything we have done. Look at what we've done to the world, human beings as a whole. How can you say that we deserve to be sorted into heaven and hell, how can you say we even deserve to be alive, when we've done all this and we STILL refuse to put it right?
