178. But it's not your choice to make for someone else.
I can tell you a life is worth more than a pink flamingo -- maybe not to some gunners thiough.

A life is worth more than almost all "property." Again, some gunners apparently don't agree.


You don't get to decide what someone else's life is worth. If someone decides that their life is worth risking over a pink flamingo, then that is their call to make, not yours.

Some people decide their life is worth risking throwing it out of an airplane. Some people decide it is worth risking bungee jumping. Some people decide it is worth risking climbing mountains. Some people decide it is worth risking driving fast cars. And some people decide it is worth risking for theft.

All of these people realize, or should realize, the risks inherent in the activities they make the choice to do.
