Shark Attack - your thoughts?

Everyone saying the ocean is shark's territory, did you know where you live used to be chock full of BEARS, WOLVES, LYNX and WILD BOARS? You're living on stolen territory, bunch of hypocrites. I'd love to see some of you lot get mauled by a wolf on your way down to the corner shop for a bag of crisps.

Sorry, my country is more then 300 years old so we probably forget those times already since they happened so long ago, I understand stuff like that still happens in your baby country.

Read what I said again, then have a look at a map.

I was talking about the area you mentioned - off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.

5 people in 130 years isn't many for that area, is it?

You said in another post that people get killed by sharks then you said they don't!

There are more then 5 killed by sharks it's just they have never found the body after a shar bte.

But let me put it easy for you.
If I asked you to run across a 6 lane highway when it was busy, you would tell me to get lost.
If I told you there are sharks 500yds off the coast would go swimming there?.. I think not

Stupidly bad comparison.
Shark attacks are very rare indeed. And plenty of people sim in shark seas. Many people dive with them. Sharks generally do not attack humans.
Why do you keep mis quoting Fox?

People don't tend to run each other over either, you still wouldn't cross the motorway.

Just because they don't generally attack us doesn't mean there isn't a slight chance that they will, you know the risks and choose to take them, don't complain when you get bitten.

A motorway is a very dangrous place and reaction times and stopping distances makes it dangrous.

Statistically you are far far more likely to be killed in a car crash than be attacked by a shark.
Yet again, another jumped up conclusion born in your head. Really please read and not make up stuff in your head.
Who's complaining? It's certainly not the dead bloke, he can't complain.

I would even go so far as to say you are probably more likely to die laughing at the stupidity of the above statement than you are by being attacked by a Shark.

There have been 5 shark related deaths off the Florida Coast in the Gulf of Mexico since 1882.

Which pretty much supports what I was saying. Ordinarily, sharks do not attack humans.

I asked him to make his mind up!

Hmmm no I don't. If ayone goes swimming when they know a shark or dolphin or stingray can hurt them or even kill them then they are just stupid.

Yes you are, you have missed one important word from you highlite.

People are stupid for swimming with things that aren't likely to kill them?
In that case people are stupid walking through a field with cows in, in case they charge.

I even swam in a sea with lots of said fish in Australia. Got plenty of pics of a bushed tailed ray thing, one of those spiny back fish and some people in the group saw a shark, by the time I swam over, it was gone.

Easy for us to say here in boring dull Britain where the most dangerous thing is the incessent whining from the public about how much snow we dont have.

If you lived in say the Florida Keys are you honestly telling me you'd never go swimming because since 1882 5 people were killed by Sharks? This is a part of the world where it's usually 26c+ all year round, yet you wouldn't ever go swimming?

Dictionary.com can help you define any words I have used which you don't understand.


What do you all an ordinarily shark I would love to know?

I think you need to try that again, but this time make it readable?

If you are implying I referred to a shark as an 'ordinarily shark' then LOL.

What I said was 'ordinarily sharks do not attack people'. It is comical I have to even explain this to you, but there we go. This means that in normal circumstances, sharks do not attack people. IE, shark attacks are unusual and do not form typical shark behaviour.

My other home is at Hudson Beach Florida 34667 :rolleyes:
Oh and Since 1882 there have been 13 recorded shark bite fatalities and between January 1990 and July 2005, out of 334 reported shark bites, only 4 were fatal.

I never went swimming with the dolphins when they was feeding in the canals off Hudson beach
as they would bite and even knock you out of they way which did hurt.
And no I did not stray off the bech by more then 30ft...ever...
