It is very surprising to me, coming from another country, to see that certain people in your society would let their fellow citizens die on top of a mountain, because they think that their risk-taking is a factor in the decision to rescue them.

In western civilization, we value all life. My ancestors taught me democracy, and love for your neighbor.

I'm just shaking my head.

I understand that part of conservative values is self-responsibility (which is what has attracted me to this group), but this just takes it too far!

Those men need to be rescued merely because they are our neighbors, and God's children. End of story.

These people are not really conservatives.

They're heartless and sterile ghouls.
