Oh, you can bet your ass that when he lit that match and was on fire, he was thinking "oh fuck, I really shouldn't have done that"

Who said I did?

I was the first one to mention the Buddhist monk in South Vietnam who self-immolated as a protest against the government there in 1963.

I said this douchebag probably fancied himself as something like that, yet was nothing of the sort.

Anyone have an idea what his BTU rating was? We may have found a renewable alternative to fossil fuels.

We need to find a way to improve the efficiency.
Maybe add a catalytic converter?

Dude did it to "save humanity".

Didn't work out so well for him.

Didn't look like it was fun either.

PA Sig, If I was attributing it to you it would’ve been quoted, as coming from you. I read the linked article. Not any reflection on you.

I dunno, I'm considering changing my carbon footprint based on his heroic act. I just need perhaps a bit more persuasion through identical acts of self sacrifice....

And I didn't mean to compare him to Buddhist....Except to mention the fact that the Buddists were truly committed and literally died in a state of Zen. Where as this guy went out screaming.
