Norwegian Massacre

[Gaspard]

Did I write a capital N-nazi ?
He was a right-wing extremist, a bloody nazi if I ever saw one. I find it strange how you keep picking on words, which kind of derails from the topic at hand

 

[Horus9k]

Making generalizations on this man (who was not a nazi, Nazi, Republican, Satanist, satanist, pagan, Pagan, Wicca, etc.) derails not only the thread, but erodes your credibility. Stop approaching this manner in the drunken sloppiness of a peasant and get it right, people died.

what he was was batshit crazy

I know which prison I would rather spend my 21 years in - the Norwegian new-age special.

The American alternative isn't very appealing -

 

[Crni Vuk]

norwegian prison looks like a German youth hostel. Awesome.

 

[Hassknecht]

Nah, our hostels have bunk beds and look way more shabby most of the time

 

[fedaykin]

It'd be interesting to see the recidivism statistics of those luxury prisons.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

the Norwegian new-age special.

I've seen worse Ikea displays.

 

[Wintermind]

There's a gold mine of jokes to be made out that. I've stayed in smaller motel rooms.

 

[Gaspard]

I just saw that Breivik's and my birthday are on the same day

 

[UniversalWolf]

Just another Herostratus wannabe.

[Walpknut]

There is people saying that it was staged to boost anti christian agendas, because we all know Christians are a well known persecuted minority in the west.

 

[Wintermind]

Walpknut, people say a lot of things.

So yeah. 77 people died. 8 in the centre of Oslo and 69 on the island.

77 people.

Most of them young dreamers.

Between 14000 and 19000 died in the September 11 attacks.

50 to 70 million died in WW2.

As Morrissey so boldly stated, this is nothing in comparison to what KFC and McDonalds do every fucking day to birds and mammals on this sad, lonely planet.

Every fucking day of our miserable lives waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than 77 peope die due to simple fucking things like diarrhea or the fucking flu. Lack of water. Lack of food. These folks never had a decent house, decent clothes, a cellphone or an internet connection. Like those 77 no doubt had. These folks die in situations which are way more gruesome than a simple bullet to the head. They starve to death. They get butchered with a machete.

Western society is sick and sad in a variety of ways, but this tops it all: 77 capitalist pigs died because another capitalist pig had a brain seizure or something. All of a sudden the rest of the world seems paradise. What? Mayhaps this bad cog in the machine is yet another warning sign that Western society sucks bigtime. Maybe we do these things to ourselves and our blonde idiot is just the finger on the trigger we all know is there.

So forgive me if I am not impressed. Forgive me if I do not care.

Oh God it's uncle Yusef

Listen dude, even if it was just 77 people they were still people with lives and families. People with doubts and fears, people who could have changed the world.

And now they're dead

 

[alec]

I like the 'who could have changed the world' comment.

It always pops up when I ask people why in hell they breed. A parent's answer to problems like pollution and overpopulation is invariably: 'Maybe mine will change it all.'

Right.

I don't care about those 77 because I don't know them, but I also fail to care because for every dead Norwegian, 100 dead anonymous poor Earthlings died just as good and just as well, and they never got the 'Oh, it's just terrible' remark I've been hearing non-stop now.

This is just Western drama. People seem to love it.

 

[Bhaldur]

Alec your using double standards. Either care for all "earthlings" or no one. Or pick up a special group and explain why they earn more of our empathy compared to others.

And if you want to know why we care more about 77 killed people of our own society or at least a close society, the reason is human nature.
We dislike dread risks.
We care for people similar to ourselves.
We care more if we actually know them, but empathy doesn't need a physical relation, like feeling a craving for icecream doesn't need actual icecream. We can think and feel in abstract terms. And tell me, is empathy for slaughtered teens a bad thing?

Arthur: "Marvin, any ideas?"

Marvin: "I have a million ideas. They all point to certain death."

Quite done? Now, why don't you go say that in the face of the victim's families? ''By the way, some people have it worse off then you are. People you are close to being gunned down by a maniac is no big deal, seriously get over it. Oh, and you society sucks, and so do you, capitalist pig. So there''.

In the meantime, go spew your pathetic misanthropy elsewhere. What's your damn point, that we should just stop living and caring about others because shit out of our control happens?

You ASK people why they have kids!? WHY? Don't tell me you're one of those "Oh Man Humanity sure sucks I hope we all go extinct soon" You know the types, The ones that talk all day about the world's problems but ever ever try and change them.

If you have such a problem with poverty and people dying in Africa join the Red Cross/Crescent instead of talking to us about it.
