NEWS: Body Identified as Crayon Shin-chan's Yoshito Usui

He should have been accompanied with someone before hiking in that place. Going hiking in places like that is not only dangerous, but you could lose your life if your not careful.

As I said before, He knew the risks but went anyway. It's not sad at all. Why pity him? It was his decision. It's not like he was dragged up there by force. And obviously hiking alone and steep cliffs are a dangerous mix.

People know the risks when they board an airplane, get into a car, walk in inner cities at night, but they do these things anyway. It's not sad at all if they die. Why pity them? It's not like they were dragged by force into doing these things. And obviously flying in an age of terrorism, driving while there are drunk drivers out there, and walking in cities that have a crime rate are a dangerous mix.

/sarcasm whoosh.

You're still being whooshed...

The only joke in this thread are the people claiming Usui deserved to die or doesn't deserve our pity because he dared to go for a simple hike (even if he presumably wasn't thinking things entirely through when he walked closer to the cliff's edge).

As I said before, He knew the risks but went anyway. It's not sad at all. Why pity him? It was his decision. It's not like he was dragged up there by force. And obviously hiking alone and steep cliffs are a dangerous mix. Plays out like it may have been suicide as well. You know this culture isn't a stranger to suicide from high places.

No doubt, we'll find out soon when they start questioning everyone in more detail.

According to Shadowrun20XX's mentality, Natasha Richardson's death shouldn't have been sad either, no one should have felt pity for her. Skiing is a common activity, but anyone who does it knows the risk and deserves whatever they get, right? There's risk associated with everything, people can die from just about anything, it doesn't mean they should have known better. His mentality is appalling.

Alright spammer. My mentality, huh? I go hiking outside of Vegas all the time. I go up to red rock, alone now and again. If I slip and fall that my own goddamn business. Usui knew what he was doing, I don't feel sorry for him like the rest. He did what he did, and I respect him for what he did outside of his safe zone.

Help me understand. By that logic, if your brother, sister, or any family member went skiing or hiking or whatever, knowing full well the risks of what they were getting themselves into, slipped and fell off a cliff whether by accident or on purpose, would you not feel any sadness? Are you saying that if the circumstances were completely 100% out of their control, only then is it okay to feel sadness? If you went hiking at Red Rock again and something bad happened to you, can you honestly say that you wouldn't want your family, community, or even us praying or feeling sorriness or compassion for you? I'd feel a little sad if that happened to you. I might not be distraught like those close to you would be, but I would feel something. I know it seems fake coming from a lot of people when they say they feel sorry or say a prayer, think about it for two seconds, then move on to the next thing, but I believe that there are those, like myself, who have an honest sense of compassion and really mean what they say. And no, I'm not talking about religious people, because many of the "fake" people I've met are in-fact religious. I don't know. Maybe, because I'm getting to that point in my life where some people very close to me, such as my parents, aren't going to be around for much longer do I have a heightened sense of compassion.

I mean, I'm just wondering why you're so adamant about expressing your supposed complete apathy for what happened to the man. If there are people on the boards that want to grieve for him, if even just a little, why not just let them? I do agree that standing on the edge of the cliff taking a picture looking down wasn't the brightest of ideas, but there still could have been other circumstances out of the norm that we don't know about since he was supposedly the only one there. Just because I think it wasn't a great idea, though, doesn't mean I'm not going to feel sorry for the guy.

Fair enough. What I fail to grasp however is your apparent need to throw this view in everyone's face.

But he WAS living life to the fullest, and I'm glad he did. This is far less sad than if he was, say, hit by a drunk driver.
