that ain't no town buddy

11/26/2008 2:41:26 PM

I thought this said Indiana. Then I realized this would not affect my parent's travel plans, and was happy. Then I realized it was still people dying, and was sad again.

11/26/2008 2:41:40 PM

why are you sad? its not like it is anyone you have ever meet or will ever meet.

and it is only 2 dead, 26 wounded

11/26/2008 2:43:49 PM

i thought this was about Avent Ferry Rd.

11/26/2008 2:44:10 PM

It's actually up to 16 killed right now, and any time unnecessary violence results in death, it's sad. Just because it doesn't kill someone you know doesn't mean it's not important.

11/26/2008 2:45:47 PM

important perhaps. sad... not at all

LovedYoMoma just made himself look pretty dumb

11/26/2008 3:26:12 PM

and even if you aren't sad that people got killed aren't you sad for the implications attacks like this have for society as a whole?

REALLY? REALLY? wow.

11/26/2008 3:26:44 PM

I thought this thread was about

She grew up in a Indiana town,
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.

It hasn't stopped either. There are hostages in a hotel and bombs still going off in various parts of the city.

11/26/2008 4:59:51 PM

11/26/2008 5:01:11 PM

this is actually pretty significant. not good. 9 locations targeted. several hotels taken over and hostages being held. landmark buildings on fire. 78 reported dead so far.

11/26/2008 5:02:18 PM

I just saw video of people in a COP CAR opening fire on a large group of people!!!

This shit is FUCKED UP!!!

Yeah, this is definitely no good.

I'm a little concerned about the inauguration in January, to be honest.

11/26/2008 5:37:12 PM

11/26/2008 5:47:04 PM

Very sad stuff. And yes I'm sad. I am worried for all people targeted by these terrorists.

11/26/2008 5:47:55 PM

11/26/2008 9:43:07 PM

11/26/2008 9:56:58 PM

I know it's bad but this made me lol.

I was reading an article about the passengers stranded at BKK airport.

"Hannah Simons, from London, was due to fly to Mumbai but she is stuck in Bangkok, unable to get near the airport. The 53-year-old Hebrew teacher said she was "desperate". "

Looks like the protesters did you a favor

11/27/2008 12:37:52 AM

11/27/2008 12:40:40 AM

11/27/2008 1:41:08 AM

This is sad but some of the pictures are incredible!





And Cnn has some bloody pics up that probably shouldnt be up there.

11/27/2008 2:44:00 AM

Why shouldn't they?

11/27/2008 3:14:19 AM

news isnt newsworthy if there is blood involved!

11/27/2008 3:24:10 AM

I thought it was the other way around

195 dead, is it okay to be sad now?

11/29/2008 8:55:17 PM

"i mean are you happy about it? "

my position is that despite the number of injured or dead, unless there is a personal connection with those affected, an emotional response is unwarranted.

120,000 people die every day of cancer, car crashes, old age, etc. If you are you going to get your nickers up in a bunch about the people in India that you have no connection to, you better start morning or being sad for all the other people that die everyday that you also have no connection to.

Now I know this is making me look like a huge, cold hearted, ass. It is not my intention to belittle you or your emotions. However, does you being sad help the situation? No, it doesn't. Does you being sad make you a better person than me? Not in the least.

You look down on me for not caring, but I look down on you for getting so up in arms about it. The actions taking place, and the consequences of those actions are indeed important. But the fact that 195 of a daily average of 120,000 deaths taking place in one place, at one time, does not justify an emotional response.

Simply acknowledge the importance of the event, and go on. Because whether or not it makes you sad or not, isn't going to change anything because you aren't going to, or are able to, do anything about it.

11/29/2008 9:19:19 PM

being apathetic about everything is sooo 2002

11/29/2008 9:24:49 PM

I'm not apathetic, I am just intelligent enough to recognize when emotional response is warranted and appropriate. I mean, do you seriously think that feeling sad helps in any way what so ever? Do you think that the people of Mumbai care if you are sad?

"Oh geez, my husband just got shot. But it is ok, because I know someone on the internet in America feels sad."

Shut the fuck up, and take your pussy tears with you.

11/29/2008 9:33:33 PM

Do you honestly think that people feel they are helping by being sad? Really?

11/29/2008 9:35:17 PM

No, but it is the discreet, indirect reasoning some people I know use.

11/29/2008 9:37:31 PM

Some people you know are apparently retarded then.

11/29/2008 9:40:19 PM

Yes...yes they are. But if you know anything about advertising and or marketing, you have to appeal to or make your message receivable to the lowest common denominator. Then you figure out that most people are retarded, and life becomes so much easier.
