An unfair accidentBy: noone | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 9:52:19 AM Reply | Forward This is an example of how a game could turn into a fatal accident. The loss of the parents must be huge, but blaming the seniors for the victims action is unreasonable (unless the victim had been forced into doing such thing). However we can blame the peer-pressure, if the decision was made by the victim, there is noone else how can be held responsible.

Bets or Records - Authorities to checkBy: N.RAJ VIGNESH | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 4:51:07 AM Reply | Forward It is high time the authorities put an end to these sort of dangerous bets. At times, we find that people indulge in acts for the sake of records, like entering into the Guinness books etc. Any creation of such records or breaking of previous records should be done strictly under supervision and the person should be allowed to perform only after medical clearance. Other bettings like the one that has happened now should be strictly prohibited and dealt with by the authorities for violation.

are you a baby?By: kapil | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 11:54:51 AM Reply | Forward If you are so frigging dumb then nobody can save you. It's govt's job to babysit you all the time and to protect you from your own stupidity.

Mr Kapil to understand...By: N.RAJ VIGNESH | Sunday , 23 Nov '08 4:32:31 AM Reply | Forward First of all understand the views expressed. It appears you have written something for the sake of opposing or criticising the views expressed. Nobody expects the Government to do babysitting. We only want the Government to frame rules to deal with such acts in a stringent manner. These sort of bettings should be treated on par with gambling, especially when certain aspects of endangering of life is involved. You try to understand any views expressed in toto before jumping and giving your half-baked replies.

Personal blameBy: am | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 10:54:42 AM Reply | Forward There is no need to fall back on authorities for everything. It is time that we ourselves become accountable for our actions.If authorities tried to stop, someone else would have accused them of high-handedness.Please accept blame on a personal level.
