Call me cold hearted

[cowboy43]

I know the Chili miners went through a terrible ordeal, and I am happy they all got out alive they were really disciplined under such conditions, some running miles a day and each one assigned a job to do. when they got to top they were treated like invilids, put in wheelchairs and beds, I wonder how long before a movie comes out, on the news it was said each one will become millionaires. They had a job to do and knew the dangers involved when they went in the mine. Each one of us has had a dangerous job and if you make one mistake you are maimed for life or dead. running farm equipment is one of the most dangerous jobs their is, had a lineman co-worker killed last month by electrocution, their was no big news stories about him and how his family and co-workers have suffered, look at the dangers our sons and daughters in the military goes through each day. I am not cold hearted I just look at life as it is.

I have no problems with how the rescue in Chili was handled. If they get some money out of it, so be it. Looks like all of our own 1st responders at "Ground Zero" are sueing for millions as well and all they were doing was "their job"...... or least that's what they said before the lawyers showed up.

bout the most danger im in here, is falling off my stool... :cowboy:

 

[pdfangus]

one excuse for a media circus is just about as good as another.

it is all just a diversion to keep us from finding out that the whole world is going to a hot place at a hand gallop.

Miners coming out of a mine and Michelle on the stump for Dems.....

those are the only two things I have seen on tee Vee news in 24 hours and neither one of them is news.

Now for weather and traffic here is Dave......

I was glad to see a happy ending in the news for a change. I'd be writing a book too if I could but no one would be interested in my story besides that I'd be afraid it might be used as an admission of guilt in some court of law. ;-)

You could always plead the fifth. In your case you might need to plead the quart, a 5th might not be enough

Either way it would be worth a try. :lol2:

I thinkt The Adventures of Jogee might be quite entertaining. :D Just don't give it that Tom Sawyer feel. :lol:

That wouldn't be politically correct would it?! :lol2: Now we are down to a dime novel assuming of course we have a lot of filler advertisements inside.

I don't know how it is in Chili but here in the states, most major mining accidents are caused by the mine owner not doing what the law mandates. If that's the case in Chili, let them pay the victims. I know I have to pay if I violate the law. :|

Its a feel good news story, amazing they all survived, and if they can make some extra money from it, they should for their families/children to have better lives. One of them is going to Graceland, because he played Elvis music whn he was down there-thats kind of cool, something he never would have experienced if not for this.Something for his whole family to enjoy.

I wish we had more news stories like this.

More good news would be welcome.
I hope these guys enjoy their fame,glad they're here to enjoy it..
Mineing/drilling/rescue tec sure has came a long way..

 

[MO_cows]

I can't get over what they must have gone thru those first two weeks, before the first hole was drilled that found them. 33 guys in a small space, dark, hot, inadequate supplies and they didn't know for sure anyone was looking for them. That they could keep their heads together during that time and under those conditions is very admirable.

 

[ga.prime]

You can call me cold hearted too because I find this to be the most disinteresting overblown story in years. What were those guys doing in that mine anyway?

 

[3waycross]

I worked underground in the mines when I was 20. It doesn't take being trapped too long under there to help you find the Lord.

Been there, done it, and don't begrudge them one dime that they get.

Funny thing is some of them will go back down there when it's all over.

Not me though. I can't even crawl under the house anymore.

3-way, years ago I used to like to go spelunking and once - I knew it was wrong - I went by myself and no one knew where I was. It was a small cave so I figured it was no big deal - till my lamp broke. :shock: I've never experienced such darkness in all my life. It was almost suffocating. BTW - I eventually found my way out. ;-) :lol2: Oh, and that was the last time I went in a cave. :nod:

I used to do that in abandoned mines. I'm surprised i can even sleep in the dark

I'm in limestone country--lots of caves here. One about 200 yards from my door. I went in there when I was 14 or 15 and I'm not going back. It is a wet cave, so you crawl in through the water and then spend the afternoon in water. And dark. I'm not going into any cave or mine--thank you.

I've been stuck in a hole most all of my life. Never knew there was compensation for it. Can someone point me to the line?
