Can't help but wonder what sort of shit storm will arise if those people that died have police bullets in them.

I know. It's incomprehensible.

[Mine]

It's comprehensible all right.

They're brown people so who cares?

They're brown people so who cares?

The cold, hard truth.

[Mine]

They're brown people so who cares?

It's not the color of their skin as much as the area of the world they lived in.

[ABNorman]

Who cares, you guys? Terrorists got a Seth Rogen movie pulled.

Wow, that's really weak. Bummer.

[ABNorman]

On a scale of 1 to hideous, it's many steps below killing children, but several steps above somebody stepping in front of you in a queue.

[LetMeSleep]

Look at you assimilating in with locals with your queue conversation topics.

No one wants to click on an article about 140 murdered children. Its not clickbait. And what is there even to discuss or debate? How do you reason with someone who lights a teacher on fire, shouts "God is great" and then starts mowing down children? At least with a stupid Seth Rogan movie we can pretend we have some control over it, and we can pretend humanity isn't a horrible cesspool.

[Fuck You Jobu]

a stupid Seth Rogan movie ... we can pretend humanity isn't a horrible cesspool.

i'm starting to understand the true reason that you divine those strange creatures onto the page... these beings can be fresh, they can be new, they can experience lives without pain or the baggage of history. in a way, you are a benevolent god to them. you give them the ultimate gift of all: a non-existent past. in this way, they see opportunity and believe they can seize it, free of suffering the battering tyranny of expectations. you give them lives worth living. and that's beautiful, burt.
