If someone thinks you're taking unreasonable risks and concludes that you're an idiot, it doesn't follow that they "care". I think you're an idiot because you're missing most of the point about the thread and inserting yourself.
I also think you're an idiot because you're clearly equating your willingness to take risks with masculinity. That's common with young men before the pre-frontal cortex has caught up with the limbic system in terms of brain development.
In any case, though, I don't care what you do, as long as I don't have to pay for it. So, if you do have a serious accident during your extreeeeeeme activities, do the rest of us a solid and make it fatal so no one is sharing the costs of your decisions.
"costs of your decisions" You are always going to share in the cost in the society you live in. GET OVER IT! You share the cost for the drug addict, the guy who gets drunk, the guy who eats a donut etc: Hell, I pay for you to eat that crap they feed you at the grocery store called processed food that gets you sick, gives you high blood pressure, diabetes. It is called life and nothing you can do to change it. Your mentality is woe to everyone except you. Do you think the way you live your life does not expose anyone to additional costs? Go live in that delusion.........
It would appear that we have some Bernie bros on the site, so I will explain: Liberty means the freedom to do as you choose, but it also means the freedom to remain untethered to other people's choices. That is to say that personal freedom must necessarily come with personal responsibility.
Let's pretend I'm the person you describe: I make terrible decisions with my health, eating processed garbage and remaining inactive until my decisions lead to obesity and possibly Type II diabetes mellitus. You seem at home with everyone else paying millions of dollars toward my healthcare throughout my life. Everyone else should "get over it" and just pay for my stupidity?
I disagree. I also work in healthcare. Modifiable behaviors create enormous healthcare costs. I believe that people who make better decisions in their lives shouldn't be getting the bill for idiots.
I also believe that wiser people should not be paying off the loans for idiots who amass titanic amounts of debt for Feminist Literature degrees. Should I "get over it" for that, too.?
There are too many people who consider themselves to be freedom-loving who still want other people to hold the safety net under them. I submit that people who do risky, irresponsible, and inane things should hear the costs and consequences of their choices, not the smarter people who avoid those mistakes.
We should always want a better society to live in. However, in reality, the actions of an individual can be either good or evil, depending on the person and what values dominate in them. People like to pontificate on how things should be. Advice is given as though we start with a blank slate and can just make or remake society as we please. That flies in the face of reality and thousands of years of human history.
Christians feel that since they have faith they should somehow be insulated from failure, disappointment, and loss. Those no having faith share the same emotion that they should be insulated as well. Our success or failures look back at us in the mirror each and every day we gaze into one.
If I fail it is my issue and no one else’s. Should have studied more, worked harder and played less, and been less lazy. Even with that sometimes you fall off a house and end up in a wheelchair. The attitude I cannot let the wheelchair be my prison and must use my strength of character to free myself.
I can’t worry about what you are doing or not doing unless you are over robbing my home. I can’t rely on you to do what is right or I will spend all of my time worrying about you instead of doing what I need to do. A fair and clear understanding of individualism is much needed nowadays. Contrary to naysayers it is not being selfish to first take care of yourself so you can take care of others.
