So, you're putting someone's life at risk and when bullshit is called the best you've got is, "No balls, no blue chips?"

everyone said, "don't go, the US could bomb at any moment." In 2003 I traveled from Istanbul overland through all of central Asia and tried to get into Afghanistan. I would go. In a heartbeat. So don't give me this, "I'm putting someone else's life on the line guilt bullshit." As I said, if I had the chance I would go in a heartbeat. You want to pay for me to go? Well, put your money where your mouth is. I'll do it. I'll go.

SP on this. I know for a fact he once had a trip cancelled to Afghanistan by external factors beyond his control. I don't think there's much of anywhere SP wouldn't visit.

Some people don't mind physical danger that much. Some people don't like physical danger at all. The people who want to do dangerous things shouldn't be held back from doing the things they want to do, so long as they don't harm others, because those who abhor risk wouldn't do it themselves. If the guy wants to go, it's his choice. If he dies, I'll say and mean "he died doing what he wanted to do".

It's the folks who don't do what they enjoy, what they want to do, because of fear or caution who I pity.

and SPK's not "sending" Josh there. it seems that Josh has decided he wants to go.

I may be interpreting this wrong, but I would imagine this is fundraising to make his trip more comfortable - and undoubtedly more secure.

Once you select your country, the form refreshes after a couple seconds, replacing State with Province and Zip Code with Postal Code.
