Best Posts in Thread: Hitting a Bomb with a Hammer

People are suggesting that there are still some living in the conflicted area of Zamboanga who do not know what a bomb is. Considering the history of violence in that province it is hard to believe that anyone who lives there could reach adulthood without knowing what a bomb is.

 

I will be the devil's advocate here;
"tragic accident", War and the effects of war and all the deadly sh*t that is a part of it, is only for the purpose of killing people. It has been about 73 years sense WW II and that war is still killing innocent people today. The Vietnam war killed an estimated 4 million Vietnamese and they are still dying today from explosive material, left over from that war.
As for "Seems like sheer stupidity". I know you said "Seems like" but I must disagree with your choice of the word "stupidity". No doubt they were ignorant as to what they found and the danger of that mortar round. In my eyes, just because they did not recognize the danger they were in, doesn't make me look at then as "STUPID". I can not imagine trying to live the way these people do, in the country here.

 

Should qualify for a 'Darwin Award'.
