I swore i'd never blog, and was pretty sure I was too darned lazy to blog, but, it had to be done. The world deserves to share in my gift of ultimate knowledge and razor sharp wit.

Iraq, pah...

You're all pretty hypocritical. Does anyone really care more about the people dying in Baghdad just by dismissing the VT shooting? Excuse me but that's BS.

I have no idea what you just said. I read the words, but cannot decide whom they are pointed at.

I would like to consider myself a fair person, with regards to people dying whom are doing nothing more wrong than living in a certain place that got hit by a tragedy.

Anywho, I really don't want to degrade to a mud sling just because there are more people dying in another country than my own, and I happen to value them dying as highly as people dying here.

The best things in life, aren't things.

My point wasn't that the world is overpopulated, it's that 33 people is a miniscule drop in the bucket.

I stand by my original sentiment of "it's hard for me to care all that much, 33 out of 6.5 billion isn't all that much." .... Sorry if my cynicism offends you.

And if one of those 'drops' was your brother or sister? Still insignificant?

I didn't know any of the victims, but I do feel for those they left behind. Your lack of compassion is kinda unsettling. Cynicism or not, it doesn't mean you can't appreciate that somewhere someone is hurting because of this incident.

I was thinking something similar. Its not 33 people for Snickers, its 33 of the wrong people.

As in 33 people he has never met, now will he not ever now.

Realistically speaking, its hard to get to overly worked up about people you don't know. Look at doctors. For the most part they aren't allowed to work on their own family and friends because its harder to be objective. There's a reason anonymity works so well. Babies are killed every day using the exact same procedure. :rolleyes:
