This has to be one of the most revolting things I’ve read in a while: [Husband rips wife’s eyes out after she refuses sex](http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21420231-2,00.html) What a loathsome human being. ---

Wow, you’ve struck just the right balance between selfrighteous moral outrage and voyeuristic attention whoring. How do you do it? The sentiments you express so eloquently in your OP make you my new hero. That is, until someone finds an even cooler, sorry, more morally horrifying tabloid story than this one. I predict there will be babies involved. From all of us, Cunct, thanks for the thankless job you do of scouring the internet for fresh opportunities for selfrighteous voyeurism. ---

It is outrageous. I am outraged. It outrages me. My outrage is out, uh, raging. On the other hand, it’s not like he fucked her in the still bleeding sockets or anything, so I think I’ll withhold condemnation until something _more_ luridly prurient happens along. Any minute now. ---

You need to calm down, it was only an _arranged_ marriage…she probably wasn’t his wife by choice. I mean, if you can’t go walking down the street ripping eyeballs out, what will you do when the beholders invade? ---

Upon further reflection, **lissener** , maybe we should thank you. Obviously THE PIT is not the place for “righteous indignation”. We are all just SO LUCKY to have you here in the pit to judge OPs, and congratulations are deversed. Thank you SO MUCH for calling out _righteous indignation_ when you see it, _Sir master exposer of attention whoring_. p.s. You’re still a dick. ---

I can you see you are outraged, however, the bitch cannot. Is that justice I ask ya? ---

You all should probably thank Lissener. You come into this Pit Thread and find out about a poor woman who has survived a brutal attack that will leave her permanently maimed and possibly psychologically damaged for life. You’re angry, and that’s entirely reasonable, but what outlet do you have for your righteous rage? Lissener has sacraficed himself so that you may achieve catharsis. All that pent up frustation bubbling beneath the surface can now burst forth in an orgy of name calling. Ultimately, it won’t make a difference to you or to Lissener, but in the short term you can feel satisfied by releasing your emotions. Thank you, Lissener, you’re doing the SDMB a service. Marc PS: Maybe Lissener is a dick, but he’s right about these threads. ---
