So yes. Let's just stick our heads in the sand and not care, eh? Because, eh, it happens, hey?

No. Fuck that. Do you even know what they did to him? Maybe you should educate yourself before being dismissive.

Matthew wasn't a random casualty in a war- he was killed because of who he was. Because he was gay. Because he wasn't ashamed of being gay. Hate crimes aren't just about hate- they're a way of victimising an entire community of people- because it could have been any other gay person, couldn't it?

As for killing people for being nazis, well, that's just not up there with killing someone for something they can't help. It reminds me of when Andrew Bolt was on TV bitching about being "discriminated against" for his politics. He can help being a right-wing misogynist creep. Nazis don't have to be nazis. Being female- d00d- usually they don't kill us. We're just expected to live a life as second-class citizens and motherfucking breeding machines for governments like the one we've got in.

And I've heard of few people getting killed for being white in comparison to getting killed if you aren't white.

Think about this, then: he was a kid. Who knows what the hell he could be doing if it weren't for those people.

If intolerance and this level of hatred ain't bothering you, d00d, something's up. Sorry, but I know you. You get angry about things. But I just can't get over it not even registering.

I just don't want to take on the emotion of things that I can't change/alter or fix... I can't handle it anymore and so I've become apathetic. Now I worry solely about me and my friends/family directly and thats it. Keeps my mind in check

Sorri if i sounded dismissive but thats just how i feel now. I'm not going to worry about it unless it affects me or those people i care about from now on

Well... don't bitch about the rest of the world turning their back on you then, d00d. You're just doing your bit, too.
