Sounds like a good way to get yourself killed.

Oh, wait...

Seriously though, I have a hard time dredging up any sympathy for those two and everyone else with such a warped world-view.

[roberth]

No sympathy whatsoever.

In fact ALL the muzzie-loving peaceniks should immediately embark on hiking and biking trips through ISIS held territory.

Well theres two delusional "Utopia" believers that had to learn the hard way.

As an aside, that was probably the best article I've read on this story. It's possible I just read actual news, as opposed to an opinion piece masquerading as such.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans.

[Zundfolge]

Just like that crazy Italian artist chick that hitch-hiked through the middle east in a wedding dress who was eventually raped and murdered.

If these idiots want to go get themselves murdered, that's on them. But these idiots and their fellow travelers demand that the west adopt policies that invite this murderousness into our own back yards.

I always root for Darwin in these circumstances.

So, did this couple have a more positive world view that things aren't as bad as people say, or a negative world view in that they believed that most people tell and repeat lies?

i see two sides to this. At least they died trying to live free and do what they loved. Some day i may get eaten by a bear while sitting in the woods somewhere. I'm sure a lot of people would say it was stupid of me to die that way since it's a lot safer in front of a video game console in your living room.
