Your callous disregard for a minimum of civility in the face of tragedy striking your fellow man is, frankly, disgusting and frightening. Shame on you. Shape up or face the consequences. Father Time speaking here. I know what’s in store for you. Your capacity for empathy is almost as shallow as your work ethic. Follow the links and see for yourself. Don’t care? Then shut your face, get out of my way and politely move on with your sorry life. No - I don’t hold courtesy towards those that hold none towards me. It’s called tit for tat, but why do I even bother? Any words of wisdom would be wasted on you. ---

You want tragedy? Go someplace like Somalia, Afghanistan or North Korea. Finnland? Most of the world would LOVE to have those kinds of “problems”. ---

It’s called tit for tat, but why do I even bother? Any words of wisdom would be wasted on you. 1. You posted this in The BBQ Pit. 2. We don’t do pep rallies here-we discuss, debate and argue, and _nobody_ gets a free pass. 3. If you want someone to come to your side on this issue, discuss it _here_-don’t just drop off a few links and petitions like this is some community bulletin board. ---

Wow. We’ve heard from some pompous assholes here but that one puts the finnish on the category. Go post your rants on Facebook where no one cares more than enough to click the Like button, you self-important turd. (And when, when is FB going to get a FuckOff button?) ---

Mention the “dark side,” and up pops **Darth**. That’s some funny shit right there. As opposed to the OP, which really wasn’t all that amusing. It needed more tit jokes and maybe a pie fight. Try again, dude! ---

It’s called tit for tat, but why do I even bother? Any words of wisdom would be wasted on you. That’s what I thought. Nothing makes sense to us, but in your grand total of 3 posts, you act seriously wounded if anyone asks for clarification or questions your sincerity. I predict a rapid flame-out. How’s it going on other forums? ---
