Some of the philistinism on display here is absolutely outrageous. The third sentence of the entire thread is fucking heinous. Its author is positively backward.

It's a tragic incident, for sure, and a lot of people are no doubt suffering right now because of it. But that doesn't mean there's a whole lot of frankly vacuous emotionalism, sensationalism and politically and morally repugnant responses to this incident. It's a sociological crisis and it exposes all kinds of logical fallacies and contradictions in people's thinking.

This is no worse than the many extrajudicial killings occurring far more frequently in the Middle East; and I think it's very sad that many will be taken in by the veils of falsity that allow such hypocrisies to happen.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves, you bloodthirsty, arrogant, fiction-loving [BadWord] flaps.
