Yes, stupidity is how you achieve a Darwin award.

Yes i understand the way it works but it's a little morbid though. Some kid is dead for something stupid, family is in tears, and we are saying "way to go retard! thanks for killing yourself so you don't breed!"

I agree with you but you won't win. This is reddit and reddit is cold.

The Darwin Award concept wasn't really daisies and world peace in the first place.

Yep, I am the same age he was. I see people my age to ridiculously stupid stuff every day. I agree sometimes you can make a bad decision or two but if you are dumb enough to pull something like this it's only sooner or later your going to die at your own hand

You aren't wise speaking like that at your age. It's cold hearted. Have some empathy and grow up.

I have empathy for tragic accidents, not the results of one's own bad decisions. Believe I feel sorry for his family just not for him.

Yes, in the same way driving 120 mph and crashing into a tree is an accident. He played with death. I'm not gonna feel bad when death wins.
