    Why does it say "as a nation mourns"? Why do we do that?

    I remember in 9th grade, when Columbine happened, one of my teachers had everyone write down how it made them feel and then he read them anonymously. I wrote "I don't feel anything. I don't know those people, it doesn't affect me".

    Now I don't think I'm some emotionless psychopath. I have empathy for people. I know what it's like to love someone and have them die. It sucks. But people die every day. Why are we only mourning the deaths that show up in news headlines? And more specifically that are American?

    It seems like selfishness to me. It's not mourning, it's being scared that it could happen to you and dealing with that. Because when there's a genocide happening on the other side of the world, no one gives a fuck. Genocides are, usually, worse than 8 people dying (I did not fact check that).

    I just find it annoying.

    Interesting that you're annoyed. This annoys me. (Remember, Derek won't let me poast the pictures I would prefer to poast here.)

    It's kind of sick, but I think one of the few ways the gun issue will be taken seriously is if a celebrity or billionaire is shot. The same thing applies to the crumbling infrastructure, e.g. if a freeway bridge in LA crashes and five celebs die, maybe politicians will do something meaningful.

    Even then, it's not a sure thing.

    Why do you always mention that Derek won't let you act like the fuckin' twat that you are?

    Is it because you're a little bitch and can't just not post photos you've been asked not to post?

    I bet he finds YOU annoying.
