I know, like sitting slack jawed in front of the computer commenting on other people's lives.

All that ranting about something that hasn't happened!

Ad Hominem attacks are the last refuge of a loosing argument.

But it has happened. Not to Jordan but to plenty of others. The mark of a wise man is that he learns from others mistakes.

Have you read posts 30, and 31? 10% fatality of those who try to reach the summit of Everest.

Need I say more? Well I will. This is from Post 31.

"There are plenty of studies that show MRI abnormalities as well as, to some extent, functional abnormalities in people who have come down from Everest and other high peaks. Climbers often show brain atrophy, a shrinking of the brain from cell death, and white spots on their brains that we think could be scarring.

And these post do not mention other injuries like frostbite that lead to amputations of fingers, toes, feet and hands.

I am not saying that Jordan’s father does not have the right to take his son up the mountain. What I am saying is that I disagree with his judgment. I think that the facts support my argument.

How is that "ad hominem"? Nothing happened to the kid but to read your post we should have expected him to be dead.
