No need to be so clever, terrible puns should be proudly displayed.

I don’t think its so crazy she called her mom instead of the authorities when shit hit the fan. Tbh I would probably call my mom, who’s probably the person I hold closest to me, if I thought I was pretty much damn near dead. It’s definitely possible that amidst all the panic, she naturally relied on someone whom she’s strongly depended on throughout her life to seek help rather than do it herself. Kinda like when your a kid and you fuck up bad and you just don’t know what to do except ask your parents for help.
The mother bear’s behavior does sound a bit odd, but who knows what she was thinking. I wouldn’t be completed dumbfounded if this story is true but sure hope it isn’t. Sounds terrible.
Because when you’re being eaten alive by a bear, your actions are completely logical and normal, amirite?
I didn’t realize that in addition to a bunch of private detectives and medical trauma experts, we also have Wildlife experts and Park Rangers posting in this topic. Cool!
Tell me, do you have the slightest bit of background or expertise working with bears? No? Then you’re just another idiot pontificating about something he doesn’t have the foggiest clue about on the Internet.
Translation- “Just because 2-3 out of every 1000 reported news stories turn out to be false, they must ALL be false.”
I think there’s a name for this kind of fallacy…
This is pretty retarded; I don’t post much in the topics for news articles, but is a bunch of people typing “fake!” to seem cool a common trend?
To be fair, they did all read Learn Everything About Animals in Four Hours With no Intellectual Exertion. I’m not even going to take sides here, but reading things like “Lol no bear would go back and get her cubs unless it was December and her left front paw was hurt” is pretty funny. And don’t even go into the physics thread. Those guys are centuries ahead of today’s experts- so far ahead that they’ve moved past the primitive need to know clunky “advanced” math…
Nah man he smart. He did a google search. As far as I’m concerned he’s entitled to act like a hot-shit man with a pipe and robe and question everyone else.
Google’s where you go for instant degree in intellect on these matters. Observe:
I dare anyone to post a discrepanating post that I will shoot down because you’re not an expert.
edit 2: this fucking system is fucking with my edits.
?
what happened to humans just being able to just know facts?
i mean I’ve never been taught how to fight, walk, fuck, smile, hit a backflip, etc… know how to do all those things just fine, didn’t need to talk to a professional fighter/walker/fucker/smiler/cheerleader either.
I don’t think anyone’s said “that story is fake, that girl called her mother. people who are in that situation do not call their mother!!”; they said it doesn’t make sense. and it doesn’t. as what Spirit said about natural behavior of animals, he’s correct. generally, kills are KILLED first and then brought to the young. No I’m not saying I know everything about bears, I’m saying it makes VERY little sense.
btw, since you’re handing down judgements saying who can say what because of their qualifications, where are yours? you see where I’m going with this? it’s pointless to argue if you honestly believe a person can’t share their thoughts without being some kind of an expert
edit: I mean by the way you’re reacting to this shit, it’s like that was your sister that just got munched on. the fuck is up with you being so defensive? people have thoughts, thoughts that make sense, let them have those thoughts
I love it when someone with the reading comprehension of a 3 year-old missing a couple of chromosomes scans his eyes over a topic. It’s so appropriate, given the intellectual level of most of these posts.
This whole discussion began after some self-anointed Internet experts on topics ranging from animal behavior to medical trauma called “bullshit” on the original article. Nevermind that dozens of reputable newspapers in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the US have posted this. Nevermind that there are several pictures of the deceased girl, including one I posted on the last page. Nevermind that there are official names and dates mentioned in the story.
Me? I don’t have a fucking clue how bears behave, or how long it takes to bleed out following a bear attack. I’m not an expert on these matters.
Thus, being neither an expert nor a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, I accept the most logical possibility. That “most logical possibility” is that the dozens of official reports in the news are accurate. You want to question everything reported in every newspaper around the world? We have a term for people like that; “delusional nutcases”, the same people who believe that Obama is a space alien or that 9/11 was an inside job.
I’m using “Occam’s Razor”. Look it up.
Basically, if you find yourself missing one of your shoes, it means that the more likely explanation is that you misplaced it, not that it was stolen by an extraterrestrial colony of werewolves living on Mars.
The Internet meme of shouting “fake!” at everything and the associated stupidity gets pretty old after a while, that’s all.
You would probably feel the same way about some retard on Youtube claiming that the Daigo 3rd Strike parry on Justin was “fake”, regardless of whether you were at Evo that year or not.
I think you’re taking it too seriously. most people were saying the story’s fake because of the content, not cause they think the publishers lack reputability. you post that that site isn’t the only place posting it, they stated that doesn’t mean much. I dunno how I feel about how reputable the sources are, don’t really care — I still question the story. unless I see a video or hear a clip of this shit I’m not really satisfied
btw, Occam’s Razor states the simplest possibility is the most likely… it doesn’t state to ignore issues, ex. the girl and the bear’s strange actions
I don’t care to read through wall of text. My time is better spent watching clips of your boy Conan.
Covno started because you got mad at the internet.
You still mad.
Stay mad.
Story is fake. Batman told me.
Last post on this topic, and most likely, any news story posted on SRK’s GD;
So I guess you don’t believe in 99% of the news you read in the papers, amirite? Most of them don’t come attached with a video…
“The bear’s strange actions”? How the hell would you know? Are you saying this from your hours and hours working in close proximity with bears as a wildlife officer?
Again, everyone is a goddamn expert on the Internet, apparently, even when it comes to things as unpredictable as the behavior of large, hungry animals.
Skeptical posts in this topic- “Screw the news stories and official reports! It’s all a conspiracy! I know because I’m an expert on bears!”
Well, it’s nice of you to admit that you’re only butthurt because I wrote that Conan O’Brien isn’t funny in an unrelated topic a week ago. :wgrin:
And yep, being told by Batman is every bit as reasonable and intelligent as the other posts saying the story is fake.
Here’s what bothers me about the story, aside from what I mentioned earlier(mainly if a bear starts eating you and walks away for an hour, you’re more than likely going to bleed out. One stab wound can be enough to kill a person, the human body has about 10 pints of blood Don’t need to be an expert in anything to know that). Every “reputable” site I’ve found reporting this is posting the exact same story, word for word. If any of them had done their own story, I would feel that there might have been a bit of fact checking by them, right now I’m not sure how many of these sites are verifying the story. I would hope they would, but since they take the lazy way out and just copy/paste the story, I’m a bit doubtful about it. No question about the fact that bears have killed humans in the wild, it’s just that there’s a few facts that just don’t seem right.
I’ll say it again. if you can question anyone’s argument due to “lack of expertise”, then we can question yours. you don’t know enough about animals to say that the bear’s actions are completely normal. edit: which means that we can think what we want, you can think what you want, and since neither of us are experts we’re both equally as dumb apparently
last time saying it. I don’t question the sources, I question the story. I shouldn’t have to repeat that because I explicitly say that I don’t give a damn how many places posted this.
btw… speaking of fallacies… here are the two you made
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AdVerecundiam
didn’t list the wikipedia version because it’s set up so that it actually looks at argument from authority in a logical light
I’m not saying it’s impossible, just strange. When you read the story, it just almost sounds like it was written more like a story than an actual news report.
SlayerofBodom: not sure if trolling or just stupid. You’re pretty much taking everything in this thread to the extreme. Minus a few sarcastic posts, some people are simply stating they don’t believe the story or find it strange. They’re not saying it’s a conspiracy theory or anything of the sort. You, however, are taking the posts way beyond what they really are. If anything, you’re sounding crazier than the people you’re claiming are crazy.
No one is claiming to be an expert on anything, but just saying it’s strange given common knowledge on said subjects. You, however, are coming in here, stomping your feet, and yelling on the Internet. Like omfg said, your logic can work both ways. At the same time, what makes you an expert on the subjects people are questioning? You’re pretty much being the extreme polar opposite of the argument you’re opposing.
Hell, all I said is that reputable news hubs have posted bogus news articles before. I didn’t say ALL NEWS REPORTS ARE FALSE 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB THE MOON LANDING WAS FAKE BIG FOOT IS REAL OBAMA IS A TERRORIST DAIGO WOULD’VE WON EVO IF HE USED RYU.
Stop acting stupid. Or stop trolling. Or both. Fuck it. Just stop posting.
I am disgusted at myself for loling at the bear puns. stay classy SRK LMAO
daigo would’ve won if he used Ryu
