    Never ever underestimate the stupidity of the human species, especially "tourists" variety.

    I hope whoever got a selfie with the dolphin falls off of a cliff

    Sad that not one person in the crowd knew that what they were doing would kill that baby dolphin and decided to be a leader and grab that thing and put it back in the ocean while cursing everybody out, not one person? Nobody had the intelligence or compassion? WTF?

    I hate phones and selfies, absolutely hate em. People who die from taking selfies deserve it. Every live concert I go to I have to put up with hundreds or thousands of amateur photographers and videographers on their phones documenting every damn second of the show. It's the most annoying crap to deal with at a live concert. I just want to lose myself in the music while puffing a spliff, not watch out for selfies gone wild people getting in the way of a good time. Rant over...

    That sucks. This isn't as bad, but still made me ill. This fall I saw an older guy catch a 40 plus inch red drum,wait for his wife to get the perfect picture, and after I told him it was out of the slot to keep because it was a breeder, he took more pics, then threw the dying fish back where it immediately went belly up.

    To me, that is just as bad as the dolphin story. The Yank is right. We are a f@cking cancer on this planet.
    I know I'm an old fart, but I do not understand the need to document every. single. f@cking. thing. in one's life and put it out there on Facebook for the whole world to see.

    To me, those that are pulling their phones out every two seconds to take pics or videos of whatever they are doing are completely missing out. You can't fully enjoy the experience, whatever it may be if you are constantly toying with your phone. When I first got a phone I thought i'd try out using it to take pics and videos, but I quickly became annoyed by it and found I wasn't "in the moment" and stopped doing it. Not saying photography is bad or anything, but there is a difference between photography and narcissism, and that I think is what it all boils down to, too many narcissists in the world.

    I caught a small pike a couple years ago in an Appalachian lake. Little bugger nearly swallowed the whole lure which was way over-sized for him. It took so long to extract it w/o breaking his jaw that I had to re-submerge him every so often to keep him alive. Finally upon release he went belly up. My lady was horrified and I was not happy either, we took turns supporting the fish by hand, in chilly water, until he got some strength back (almost 10 minutes) and eventually he swam away like a bat-outta-hell -full o' piss and vinegar (as he was when I caught him).

    Don't bother engaging with wildlife if you're not willing to show some respect and be mindful of wtf you're doing.

    Totally agree. The movie Idiocracy is more believable everyday.

    The human virus is the most disgusting & despicable parasite that exists.

    Goddddddamn this shiiite makes me angry - - I try not to get mad, but it's gotten farking depressing - - and this stuff in the media is merely what's being reported. I sometimes can't help myself from imagining the very real atrocities going on 'unreported.'

    Whoever or whatever created/aborted/test tubed this grotesque, shambling species of ours has just got to be sitting there, observing the human virus & saying....you guys blew it.....totally blew it....you had everything & you're just proving yourselves as destroyers of your own environment.

    Wow, what morons! Social media and a self-obsessed society are a cancer along with these type of people. As someone said, enjoy the moment. You don't have to document every second.

    I am starting to believe that suicide may be in the cards for you, if you keep on that train of thought.
    Relax man. Go take a trip to some where you love. Geez, it isn't THAT bad (although I agree on your general points expressed).
    If it means anything, truth be told, that small dolphin was doomed anyways, as it appears that it was separated from its mom; they do not survive once that happens. But those people suck anyways.

    If you ever read the Tom Clancy book Rainbow Six, the storyline is quite appealing at times like this...(if you're of the chosen few that is)
