Surrounded By Idiots!


Over the last few days I've happened across some of the most insensitive pricks you can imagine. On a blog website a fourteen year old boy asked how everyone liked it that God was punishing New Orleans.

I asked him if he thought disasters were funny. He said only when Americans die.

I called him an idiot. He said he was only joking and that maybe it was in bad taste. Maybe? You think???

Then in a forum, a sophomore West Virginia college student had this to say about the New Orleans tragedy:

It's just a little rain you jackasses. Man you act like you're all going to melt or some shit. Ever heard of an umbrella and some weather-stripping?

I realize it's hard to deviate from your life of sipping Coronas on the shores of laziness but fucking roll up the windows on your cars and step inside your house for a few minutes.

BTW, hahahahahahahahahahaha...homeless.


Bad as that is, the absolute worst case of ignorance I've encountered was in the wake of the tsunami disaster (gidge and Sirena can vouch for this one). A grown man thought it would be hilarious to stage a Miss Tsunami pageant in a forum. He started a thread under that title and posted three pictures of women tsunami victims in various stages of decomposition.

Now I ask, have we become so desensitized to images we see on television that some of us can't grasp the magnitude and seriousness of such crises? I know the aftermath of the tsunami deeply affected me. I felt so helpless. Do the images just go away for some people as soon as they change the channel? How can they laugh at a situation while people are dying as they do so? I'm tired of sharing the internet with mouth breathers. It's too easy for them to hide behind computer screens as they spout off.

I hear you, and bow to overwhelming wisdom, oh great one... However, I'll have to disagree with you on that last bit. Being a many-times-over idiot myself, I completely disagree with you on the fact that these people are idiots. Idiot being one with a diminshed intelligence, of course. The people you unfortunately encountered are simply EVIL. In as such, I dont think that TV had anything to do with it. Being from a community which TV is rare and the community is generally isolated from outside influences, I can tell you that these people do not need to be guided, it's an inborn instinct. And yes, I do think they should be hunted down and hung... Go figure!

I agree all of the above are crass to say the least


BUT...


http://www.acs-onweb.de/hd/content/pres_c5/section2/Humor_and_911Section2PlaschkaKoehlerHellerDFH.html


Humor (albeit bad) is how some people cry


I have found myself at a few funerals uncontrollably LMAO.  Not because I was happy or ment any disrespect, but because that is what my body decided to do at the time.


not saying it's right, just human...


and well, we have established before what a bunch of retards we can be as a whole

Shu, you're not an idiot. Perhaps a bit naive at times. heh. I'm not sure these people are evil. That may be a little harsh. I'm at a loss for a more appropriate word to label them right now. And hunting them down and hanging them isn't the answer, but I'd like to haul their asses down to one of the shelters these victims are holed up in and make them work as involuntary volunteers. Perhaps that would jar some sensitivity into them.

Twodogday, I didn't even imply that there's anything wrong with humour to help one cope in the wake of a disaster. But there definitely is if the humour is at the expense of victims.

Hitler and Osama bin Laden weren't the victims. So they're fair game. Roberto Benigni's character used humour while in a concentration camp to deflect his son's attention from the atrocities surrounding them in order to protect him.

I don't know what built in mechanism would cause you to laugh at a funeral, but it seems to be beyond your control and you aren't trying to be disrespectful.

I think 'hauling their asses down to a shelter' is a GREAT idea . . . There's not doubt in my mind that these idiots have never seen/been through any real suffering in their life, yet!!!

Heya, welcome to hell! Errr...I mean, my forum. Yeah, it was kupov who said that. I've never really paid attention to anything he's written. This just happened to catch my eye. You're probably right...he wants to shock people to draw attention to himself.

Everyone should just ignore him. Then maybe he'd just go away. One call to my cousin Knuckles could make that happen too.

He's called Knuckles because his scrape the ground when he walks. I can't vouch for whether or not he has good hands, but if you like it rough he'd probably be right up your alley.

Snuggle you or snuggle himself? Or are you not particular about gender? I have an aunt who swings that way. My relatives probably only know bad stories though. As in naughty. You can probably get them in either English or French.

Guys prefer groping to snuggling. If you want to snuggle, buy a teddy bear! If you insist on it being a "him", buy an anatomically correct teddy bear. Man, you're picky.

My mother caught me reading one of your stories and now I have parental control filters to deal with. Thanks a lot. So are you going to get published?

I don't see why you can't get paid for things that have been on the web already. What are the odds that people buying a book have stumbled across your blog already?

Game? Gamesssssss. Plural. I watch them all day long. When you have access to them all, you can always find a good one to watch.
