It escalated with the first post which was full of mockery. And then there was a 2nd, and then there was a 3rd. By the 3rd it was evident he was not operating in good faith yet the conversation continued. shrug

Here is the thing, it is not about the sacredness of life when people talk about riots. It is about property or the fact there is both simultaneously property destruction and the possibility of the threat of the loss of life.

More people die each day due to other causes. Like you said in your post, abortion does happen. Yet no one talks about it.

I brought up the gender reveal party and how it’s fire is likely going to cause far more property damage to talk about how vapid both subjects are. We humans seek to blame people, to demonize them all the time even if that does nothing besides separating us from each other. People’s disdain about riots, or drunk people (or sober people) should not handle riots, disdain from afar is not going to stop either of these things. It is all so vapid.

shrug


Um... I raise a lot of eyebrows myself with dark humor but the dark humor has to be logical and rational. It has to make sense. The damages of the gender reveal party are under $10 million with the damage from riots expected to exceed $1 billion. There is no way to tip it over on its head like you attempted to do and find any kind of humor in it. I am sitting here thinking to myself... "Yeah, he turned it around... and? What's the punch line?"

And its not just about the monetary losses. The only ones that really care about that are the insurance companies. Generally people will point out the cost of the riots (now maybe you didn't know this) because of what it represents. The lives ruined. The lives people have built for themselves potentially over the past 40 years or longer are gone. They have to start over. This causes a lot of pain and anguish. Past sacrifices made by these people (many of which are minorities) has been reduced to nothing. Its all of a sudden of no value. Worthless to the ass holes that are looting and torching the businesses.

There isn't anything even mildly comparable to the gender reveal fire. This doesn't even take into consideration the deaths caused by the riots themselves. This isn't even dark humor. There's no humor in the idle musing about how society is more shocked by the riots than the reveal party. There's no irony to it. There's nothing except a bitter child's desire to attack people's disdain for the riots because they're attacking the society that child resents.



Pointing out the gallows humor of all this can allow people to bond but I guess this is not the place for some white boys here are too sensitive I guess. Yes I am being provocative with this last two sentences for I just do not care any more.

Umm... by provocative you mean racist? Are you really going to reveal your racist nature like this? BTW, i do not identify as white.

edit on:
Roland would like for me to make it more obvious that this is a fake quote by him. I felt it was obvious enough but in an effort to spare his feeeeeeeelings, i've added this note. The below quote can not entirely or directly be and attributed to Roland.
:edit off



Roland: "BOOM! HEY GUYS! I AM RACIST!"

well said. good talk.
