Not really what I was asking. My question is more related to your assertion that this or that isn't a big deal. Are there any big deals in the world?

It definitely wouldn't be this route

I didn't say Haiti wasn't a big deal. I said "fuck haiti." A kid being forced to kill a hamster isn't something that surprises me and not all that much of a concern for me.

There are a lot of big deals in my world, but they wouldn't make very much sense in your world as we don't live in the same region or know the same people IRL.

Well sure, you could've just said big deals to you are what affects you personally.

Nothing people do surprises me, I just like to rubble rubble.

Agreed, and kinda my point - though I do disagree with inflicting needless malicious suffering on any creatures, often Ma Nature dishes out far worse just in the course of cycle-of-life shit. Hell, just watch a NatGeo flick of lions chasing down a baby wildebeast & eating it guts-first! I think people sometimes get carried away with labeling some acts as 'cruel and inhuman' without stopping for a moment to consider the reality of what goes on in order to keep all us non-vegans fed.

Are you really that shocked by it? Seriously? That girl microwaving the cat was different. This is tame to that shit. That dude who cut off that guys head on the bus, now that was pretty fucked up. Anyone who is shocked by this story has to be sheltered from regular news.

I know, why we are still so shocked by your posts is beyond me.


But that's what hope will do.

I'm a coonass, hope is lost on me.

Honestly, I'm not shocked by the story. I think it's effed up and don't share your sentiments, but I'm not shocked by it.

I think it's sad that we're not more shocked by this stuff. I think it's pathetic that as a society violence and sociopathy (because that's what this is) has become so commonplace that anyone who is shocked by it is considered to be "sheltered".
