Mind-boggling "feedback" from around the webz

[htpcl]

All right, scared panickers who are now demanding for blood good peace-loving folks who've surely shown their best side in the last few days! Calmed down somewhat from all the shock & drama already, have we? Now that one suspect is down, the other captured, people cheering on the streets and babies finally being able to sleep calm at night, and

I will cuddle you.

I was rather thinking of a kitten or two.

[pastorlenny]

How much rejection do you honestly think I can take?

[htpcl]

Fine, fine. Gimme a hug then.

I always like a good provocative quote. Thanks for sharing! One would think that there has to be some undertow or backlash when you play a prominent part on the world stage. Although such notions as these are not part of the constructive political dialogue, they presumably represent the prejudices lurking beneath elite culture.

How can a human being possibly type such a thing, even if they are hidden behind an anonymous alias?

Mind-virus.

Writing such things is completely understandable. Boston doesn't deserve bomb, but neither does Baghdad.

Friday!

ugh...

Unfortunately most of the criticism is legitimate. Some of it is hateful, but as they say in Texas, payback is a motherfucker.

See 404's response. Sometimes far too often we US citizens just come off as better than everyone else and their tragedy is our back page news.

Pax Americana, you reap what you sow. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living fantasy. We killed a lot of innocents before and after 9-11. This is the price: global judgement.

[rick_day]

you get no argument from me. No one else seems able to admit the shame of our self-centered culture.

*sigh* unfortunately it's the best we got for now. Pretty soon, even typing these words might get me a 'visit'.

Or not. They tend to leave us taxed citizens alone. Don't slaughter your milk cows, etc...

Yet our own Australian News sites were running half-page fucking flowery tributes to the 3 victims who died in Boston

33% of those victims were Chinese nationals.

But what about the 100 or so people who died in car accidents in the US that day? Are they worthless in comparison too?

As I tried pointing out in another thread, when something happens that happens all the time, it's not really news.
