Paris deaths-anonymous, multi choice poll

[Noor]

In response to a post about some people feeling that the Paris deaths don't matter, I am doing an anonymous poll to see how people feel.

I just want the shit off my TV I was watching something.

I'm going to miss TMZ because of this bullshit.

I'm in the USA, I don't give two fucks about what's going on in Paris. Why is our stations covering this shit? I would rather watch TMZ than watch coverage about Paris.

100s of people die in my city every year. People that I actually know. Do you really think that I supposed to give a fuck about 30 people dying in Paris? People that I was never going to meet anyway.

I really don't understand why you people care so much. I know Elle and Des have family out there, so I understand their concern,and I hope the best for their family. But why do the rest of yall give a fuck? Why?

People die everyday. I supposed to shed a tear for them? When I witness death everyday in my own backyard. I feel for people that I am in tune with. If I don't know you, I don't give a fuck about you, and that's just the way it is.

You people might think I am trying to troll or whatever the case might be, but that's how I really feel. I don't give a fuck about what's going on in Paris or any other country. Half the time I don't even care about what's going on in mines. I care for the people that I love and my City. That's it, that's all. I care for those that I have a bond with, tragedy happens everyday in my backyard, really think I supposed to give a fuck about another motherfucker backyard?

If I were to die, them people in Paris wouldn't give a fuck about that,so why should I give a fuck about this? You'll need to tighten up.

I understand, but I consider the source.
He is young, is surrounded by death and lives in a very small world that so far he can't find a way to escape from.
It takes a certain level of experience of the world to realize that all lives matter.
He is not alone in this.

Quite a dumb post, tbh.
He took Everything Smooth said, literally, and he Completely missed the sarcasm.
Meanwhile, the self-righteous PC team keep batting their eyelashes and demonizing the nonPC litsters.

All that to prove that they "care", when in fact I'm convinced that half of them don't give a fuck about the lost parisian lives.
It's the drama that matters and the chance to showcase their 'kindness'.
Can I have half of your paychecks to send to a french charity, please?

What? You're gloating now? Is that how much you hate the French?

Because they are French and we are supposed to be all upset because the news media said we should be.

come on…
Leave the PCnness aside for a sec. and tell me you haven't been even slightly amused by the way he phrased it: "Does Paris care about the head that they found in my neighbor's garage?"

Everybody knows the answer, but it's not PC to say it. #Parisianlivesmattermore because of ratings.

Oh bite me, everything they've done politically, diplomatically inattentively has lead them to this day. They quite willingly invited the "Trojan Horse" within their gates.

geez, Tom, don't tell me that you missed our sarcasm, too. Or most probably, you're trying some good olGB flaming, as someone used yo say.

I understand the circumstances. If it was just for smooth, I'd call that collateral damage.

You know what I miss.

Too bad, you're emotionally handicapped at this.

Half of your nose?

If you want to make excuses for him, that's fine. I will not.

This place was overflowing with slime last night, and it still is.

talk about silliness. They bully n00bs etal and then they put themselves on a pedestal.

There are dozens of folks on this board who don't care a bit about domestic gun deaths, but somehow those same people get bent out of shape over foreign gun deaths.

Really?

Domestic gun deaths are the free will of the American people. To care about that is even more evil than socialism.

When a known self-absorbed attention whore posts deliberately stupid, offensive shit in order to get a rise out of people, why do veteran posters continually fall for the bait?

As it has and always will be.

Your problem is you fully realize you're totally impotent to actually do anything about it - except whine even more.

As long as free speech exists here to large degree, subjective arbitrators of accepted speech as yourself will always beat yourselves up with blabbering about free speech, while knowing how much your heart really hates it when others' free speech totally conflicts with your own feelings.

You champion an individual's choice to intentionally kill a totally innocent baby, yet, instead of celebrating and defending an individual's right to post whatever they wish, here you are whining like the little hitler you are simply because you don't like it.

Either 1) get the boss to clean the GB up so you and your fellow Twattervillers can lounge in the free speech comfort you judge necessary, 2) keep whining and patronizing, or 3) just take your whining and patronizing azz over to the playground where it naturally belongs.

You're right. My fault. Me, and my corny belief in the human kind.

I must be punished for this.

Time to put Eeyore aka Ojosmojo on ignore.

Some people are just lost.

I haven't seen as much outrage over the killings of black people, by cops, in the US, or over the countless deaths in the Middle East. As I've seen over a foreign country.

I certainly feel puzzled by it, given that I care (without showcasing it) much more about the deaths from the Eu, than the States.

 

[BucksMaster]

Unbelievable.Just that.

Y'know, the thing is: if you're at a dangerous place, and something's happen to you, it's a bad thing, but you knew before how much shit could happen. People here have been outraged about black killings, maybe not as much as at the Paris attacks, but just because it's just a face-to-face of racists and embittered old men against those who only mention it happens, as it happens too much.When it comes to crime in America, I feel both, empathy and the feeling it's kind of their own fault. They could do things to avoid that.

It's different on both the Paris attacks and, for example, 9/11. Whoever was there, couldn't avoid that. Was in a safe place where these things shouldn't happen. So yes, this affects me more, as it was unpredictable.


Btw: congas for tendencially showing empathy

He's 22 not 7.

22 is young for me.

Maybe not young for the 27 club.

Actually he's about fifty.
