So many ugly posts in GD

regarding the fires in socal.

Some people are really, really fucked up in their head, and I'm too tired to read anymore filth. I wish there was a TS spree right about now.

1. I know... I only glanced at GD today

No way would I have the self-restraint to post in one of those vile threads.

If they are trying to upset people, further, they're doing a good job of it.

3. There have been, like, two.

Don't you think "so many" is a bit of an exaggeration?

4. There have been many more than two

although it's fewer than five posters who keep repeating the same sorts of comments. Most poster do one hit and run post about the rich or stupid people in the path of the fires.

5. It makes me hate humans, but it's the best source I have for links.

I'm watching the fires relative to my friend's location.

7. I've been in and out of there

Mostly because of those hateful scum. People like that make me wonder if the human race is really worth the effort sometimes.

8. I can't believe anyone would say "well it serves them right for living there..."

That's the same bullshit right-wing racists used against those who died in Hurricane Katrina. It was their fault they settled in a city under sea level. A city that was a sitting duck for a disaster like that. But really, couldn't that be said for all of us? I live in an earthquake zone, people live in tornado areas. Will it be my fault if/when I lose my house in an earthquake?

No.

That's like saying you have no sympathy for people who die in car accidents, since they know the risk of driving.

10. It *is* hard to believe...

Edited on Tue Oct-23-07 04:06 PM by redqueen

I keep wanting to rationalize some reason for it... something that explains the reasoning behind such a meanspirited, hateful attitude.

Only thing I can think of is trolling... people desperate for attention.

9. So don't read anymore...

you will never rid the world... or this forum... of people's ugly comments.

Best you can do is carve out a little niche that's better, and enjoy what you can, while you can.

Good luck.

11. It's hard not to watch the freak show

I just wish there were harsher repercussions for those that shit all over threads about people dealing with natural disasters.
