Who vacations in Iraq?

@Artdexx Is this a trick question? I wouldn't say Berkeley is the pinnacle of intelligence by any means...

[Prickler32]

I don't understand why so many people think they should be beheaded for stupidity. If that were the case, we'd have to behead half the country! Just cut off their dicks so they can't pass on any stupidity genes

[Prickler32]

How do you just wander into Iran by accident? You can go hiking for days in Iraq without reaching Iran! Why should anyone believe this preposterous story? I am not saying they should be tortured or anything. I'm just asking why anyone should believe them

@NYCrazyRob

Jewish Israeli Zionist hikers = spies. Thus Iran has every right to detain them AND execute them.

God you are naive.

There are more Important Causes than 2 stuck Hikers!

On the average, 1 person dies every second as a result, either directly or indirectly, of hunger - 4000 every hour - 100 000 each day - 36 million each year - 58 % of all deaths (2001-2004 estimates) On the average, 1 child dies every 5 seconds as a result, either directly or indirectly, of hunger - 700 every hour - 16 000 each day - 6 million each year - 60% of all child deaths (2002-2008 estimates)

If anyone doesn't think these people were stupid, and I mean really really stupid, then you must believe the had an ulterior motive for doing something so obviously brainless. So what was it? A news story? A book? Some type of lame protest?

@doniasi It is not Iraq in reality; it is Kurdistan. Kurdistan is a very safe place to be. Here's why people go to Kurdistan to hike youtube.com/watch?v=Hbd_sJISP-­E&feature=related

[Anaveragejoe75]

Yeah they really look like they're having the time of their lives in Kurdistan. Iraq is a war zone, and Iran's not far from one. Why would you go vacationing in Iraq? Why would you think that's a good idea? So many questions, and basically no answers. The stupidity of these three is unmatched in my opinion. Have fun rapping in prison, my friend :)

[phoebem73]

What complete idiots all the way around! The girl's lucky to have been released.

Thought u had to be somewhat smart to get into UC Berkeley, ...how did these morons managed to graduate???
