Okay then, go ahead and explain the exact similarities between what soldiers and Piano do on a daily basis.
Or if you want, compare what astronauts have accomplished in their lives with what Piano did.
Here is a hint simpleton, pumping yourself full of steroids and PMMA, promoting yourself on YouTube to avoid having to work a real job, then killing yourself with cocaine is NOT a positive character trait.
The point that which you are completly missing is this. You stated that if this was the life that he chose there should be no grieving because he died from it. Now here is my point you missed so pay attention. The same could just as easy be stated for any profession that shares a possibility of ones demise, ie, military personel, astronauts, race car drivers etc etc. Make sense? I was not comparing ones honorable intentions in their chosen profession. So please dont play that hero soldier worship card that people like to throw around. Soldiers are no more herioc than any other man or women walking the earth. The same could also be stated with astronauts, policemen, firemen and emt as well. These professions are just that, a profession. Do not make it out to be more than what it is.
Another point you are off on is the assumption that i am defending the lifestyle of Rich Piana or his character that which you wish to question.
