What happened to basic human decency .
They are mourning 200 dead in a disaster zone.
Can’t you shut your fucking mouth for one week ?
I'll shut up when we mourn the death and maiming caused by the use of cars.
Devastation shocks the brain full of thoughts and feelings, navigating around the rocks takes courage
Name checks out
I've seen a lot of terrible things.
Well, that’s vile and also a clinically psychopathic lack of empathy.
I hope that when you grow up, you manage to reconnect with your humanity.
The same to you then.
You remind me of the people who complain about talk of gun regulations after mass shootings.
The thing is, you're both right. It's a vile and cynical lack of empathy on both your parts. He's exactly right, far more people die daily who get none of your empathy. If people dying on the road is supposed to change our behaviour, then what about you?
They're not both right. Vile rhetoric sews division. Calling it out and appealing to humanity are acts of strength that bind us together.
I do wonder how you know what i do with my empathy.
