Amethyst Phoenix Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 [spoiler=quote]There's a time to think about people as numbers' date=' and a time to consider each individually. Like on the battlefield, or in a murder case. Circumstances dictate procedure. I detest people who view human life as numbers out of the appropriate context, just to make their argument look superior. You think you're looking noble for remembering the deaths overshadowed for a few days by this one, but what you're really doing is devaluing their lives in an attempt to downplay the horrific act committed here. As for the sermon, there was a lot of good stuff in there, and his message and intent were both just. While I do disagree with the whole "only we can save the world", I would still include it myself if I were the one making that speech. You know why? If he didn't say that, they'd think someone else would take care of the problem. They'd get all fired up over spreading the gospel for about a week, then they'd go back to their lives as if nothing had happened. By including that tone of urgency, and a sincere declaration that they are the ONLY ones who can do something, they'll be inspired even more-so and called to action. As for the video, most of it is the sermon, not the murder. The murder tape depicts a gang of people beating the victim with some boards. Very large boards, like the kind you'd see getting lifted around at a big construction site. As for impact, it's just told me that the world remains in the same balance. For every murderous fiend, there is a paragon of righteousness who rallies the people. However, the righteous win out eventually, because they share their tactics and message with others, and there is trust among them. The scoundrels hoard the tricks of their trade, only divulging a little of what they know to their students, out of fear for their lives and their wealth. They don't trust each-other, there is naught but a shaky alliance permeated by tension, with betrayal ever so common. They die as they lived: unfulfilled and paranoid. Unfortunately, the most emotional aspect (the murder itself), doesn't move me. I know not of this Derrion Albert. I can experience the base sadness of the knowledge that life was pointlessly lost. However, one who knows nothing can understand nothing. I cannot truly fathom the horror of the event, the sorrow of the family, unless I had been involved myself. Which is why I cannot honestly say I was moved. Those at the shore barely feel the ripples of the boulder dropped in the middle of the lake.[/quote'] There is never an appropriate time to think of life as only numbers. The lake can sense every ripple. I'm on the god damn shore. And stop focusing on one small point, blast it with no explanation, and act like my entire argument is invalidated because you have a problem with one point. Shouldn't you be trolling, making threads about murdering babies, and/or getting off to advocating the scum of the world? Also, this was sermon in a god damn church. If you have a problem with promoting Christianity in a church you can go funk yourself you intolerant prick. And you chose to watch the video. Gtfo of my internet grief shopper.

If you have a problem with promoting Christianity in a church you can go f*** yourself you intolerant prick. And you chose to watch the video. Gtfo of my internet grief shopper. When did I say anything about christianity or churches? Oh yeah, I didn't. Also, chill out. You sound like Glenn Beck's side kick. I never advocated "the scum of the world", I just said that Guantanamo bay isn't the best option and that America isn't the "good guy." And I never tried to invalidate your entire argument; I just pointed out that I don't agree with one aspect. Because there's never a good time to look at human life as a statistic. If you think that sending people to die for your beliefs is okay, then you advocate the same scum you claim I advocate. So stop regurgitating Bill O'reilly's dumb agenda on me, and chill out. BTW: the murdering babies thread was a joke. If you'd seen my discussion with OMGAKITTY, you'd know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
