Isn't evangelical Jon Chau entitled to a Darwin Award?

[3Hotdogs]

He deserves to be so honored and revered. Lets start a petition.

[Kaleva]

1. I think so.

[GoneOffShore]

2. Absolutely

His actions were those of an egomaniac.

Too bad we can't get another egomaniac onto that island.

[3Hotdogs]

3. Probably a lib'ril conspiracy to deny him the honor.

[lapfog_1]

4. rules are "didn't procreate"

so sure... if no children

Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:

Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.

[3Hotdogs]

5. Cause of his own demise may be a disqualifier.

Could go either way.

[Aristus]

7. A Darwin Award usually means the honoree removed his genes from the gene pool

by preventing his own procreation through stupidity, carelessness, or reckless behavior.

He qualifies for all three by going where he wasn't wanted, where he could cause harm to others through his actions, and where he had been explicitly ordered not to go; just to feed his egomaniacal need to get an evangelical notch in his Bible.

He will father no children like himself.

To him goes the Darwin Award.

8. The Vatican will probably canonize him as a Saint

The evil Vatican and Pope gave the Conquistadors the okay to commit genocide and kill ALL Aztecs if they refused to convert to be catholics. Spain need a method to control the population, and religion, especially catholicism, was the way to strike fear into the masses.

The popes couldn't get away with genocide nowadays, so they seem to be sticking to child rape for recreation at the moment.

[Hortensis]

9. Oh, let's not. He was 26. How about a donation

to some organization that helps foolish young people who don't quite manage to kill themselves? Or to his parents. Last heard Indian authorities haven't been able to collect his body, but eventually it'll probably be shipped home and expenses will be considerable.

[3Hotdogs]

10. A donation to the missionary organization might be in order. Send more assholes out.

Those that end up like Chau won't be bothering the rest of us.

[denbot]

11. Bingo!

He may be a front runner..

[Sneederbunk]

12. At least before doing it, he did not say "Hold my beer."

[3Hotdogs]

13. Jesus don't do no beer. He does wine.

Cheap wine, from what I see in the alter cabinet.

[Delmette2.0]

14. Yes, yes and YES.

[hunter]

15. It was an elaborate suicide. His religion handed him the loaded gun.

Or maybe religion was his drug.

If he'd been some random junky who'd OD'd on fentanyl we wouldn't know his name.

I don't respect the people who encouraged him.

[JI7]

17. moderate what behavior ?

[JI7]

19. he was a danger to their lives. these tribes have lost many members before

when outsiders came into contact with them.

it was self defense.

[essme]

21. So, you expect that tribe, whom we know very little about-

to comprehend YOUR Western definition of "murder." How arrogant of you. The man was an ass to try to endanger the tribe--There will probably be jokes about him for decades.

[LanternWaste]

20. And self-righteousness is self-righteousness I guess.

"Savages are savages I guess..."

And self-righteousness is self-righteousness I guess.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. Seems to me that they were engaged in legitimate self defense.

They've made it pretty damn clear that they simply want to be left alone.

I guess that makes them "savages" in your mind?

[Iggo]

22. If he removed himself from the gene pool remarkably, ridiculously, and without procreating...

...then yes, yes, he does.

[lapfog_1]

24. ask and ye shall receive

[Eugene]

26. This deserves its own thread.

[Greybnk48]

25. How about "The Ugly American Award?" An oldie

but a goodie, awarded to people who think they can do whatever the fuck they want in any country because they're Americans.

[KansasKali]

27. Let's not be mean spirited

It's tragic that a young person was so thoroughly indoctrinated with evangelical nonsense that he lost his life.

[nycbos]

28. Seems like he won
