No, the sliding scale of fun is better.

Then at the very least can we flog him with a bat wrapped in razor wire?
|
This is some terrible stuff, I really need to check the news more often. Not being able to help makes me feel kinda useless.
The Pat Robertson thing, how can someone truly believe that? :
|
Yeah. For an "orphan" he's unusually unsympathetic towards the misfortunes of others.

Then there's the debate of whether or not the illusion of compassion is just as good as genuine compassion because they ultimately yield the same results (ie donations).

Don't encourage him Leto. Not even for trolling purposes.

|
Let's just lump him in with Robertson and be done with it.
|
|
Grade A asshole.
I think I'll be making a special donation to him in addition to the monetary ones to Haiti. |
Poor Haiti.
Unfortunately we're too busy killing each other. So sad. |

We're not talking about China you dumb fuck. |

Well it's not Havoc's fault that he's dumb enough to be a vessel for /b/'s malicious humour to reach u-
Oh wait he adapted that himself, yeah. Twat. |

I don't smoke.

You should have linked to that Drowning Pool Haiti video if you REALLY wanted to troll |
troll? where?
|
Wow, some of you folks are real assholes. Good to see things haven't changed.
This isn't a funny situation, and just because it's not you out there, struggling to pick up your life amidst the chaos and devastation, doesn't give you an opening to make fun of them. Check your privilege, huh? Think about this, every night as you lanky dillweeds tuck yourselves into a nice, warm bed at night, that there are people who have to sleep on the cold ground because they no longer have a home. Put yourselves in their position, actually try to empathize and then see how fucking funny you think it is. I mean, for fucks sake, people. Show some goddamn compassion for your fellow man instead of acting like a bunch of sadistic, unsympathetic crackers. ...You don't have to show off to us. Really. |
Don't you know Havoc has immunity to troll because he's so charming, empathetic, witty, dapper, open-minded, and compassionate? If anything, the Haitians deserved it for not being more like him. He's steadfast in showing everyone on this forum that he is the closest thing to the ideal human being.
No, really, fuck off Havoc. Out of respect for what happened, I'm not going to continue bashing Havoc or anyone else that makes jokes where they aren't warranted no matter how much they may deserve it. Rebut if you must, but I'm not going to start a flame war. This is all I'm saying. |
Everything that Dipstikk said.
Is getting a laugh really more important than helping those in desperate need these days? I don't condone violence, but I wouldn't mind punching all the obnoxious cunts who can't take their heads out of their asses for one second to look around and see what they can do to acually help. Go read the stories of what's happening, see the pictures, then decide what's the better course of action. I'm not referring to Havoc, though that's still shitty. |

i haven't had anything to say on the matter because i would only be repeating what others have already said. i find it disturbing that this has happened, and every stupid joke that's made with the piss-poor defence of "is it too early? lol" winds me the fuck up, but i don't see the point in exploding and embarrassing myself. i'd rather mock the people who say this stuff for being so moronic. and this isn't an argument, i agree with you totally. this is a catastrophe. no place for 'jokes' or blame. |

Is this a shit situation for those people? Yes of course it is. People lost everything over there and it sucks... for them. I feel sorry for them sure, if I could fix their shit with the snap of my finger I would. But I do not have a personal connection to that place or the people living there. I couldn't even point the damn place out on a map from the top of my head. However I'm not going to pretend I care about this any more than I actually do, which is very little. And I very much doubt anyone who isn't directly involved in that disaster cares any more than I do. Did that event influence your own life? You still go to work in the morning, get paid every month, have dinner every evening? Nothing changed for you, so going further than the realization that life sucks is pretty hard in that instant, isn't it? As much as you would try, you can not imagine what it is like for those people so don't even pretend you know. That does not mean the rest of the world should instantly become a throbbing depression floating in space. Life goes on, period. Making a joke about the situation there is not disrespectful to the people who died or who are homeless. A joke is a joke, just like a joke about Jews isn't meant to offend jews. You know what is offending? Being told by christians and other idiots that what happened in Haiti is what god wanted or that the people in Haiti must have done something to piss god right the fuck off. Being told that your god hates you and therefor killed everyone you love, THAT's offending. You people are way to serious about things. Learn to enjoy life, for all you know your city is next to be leveled by an earthquake. I would have rather enjoyed by own life instead of feeling sorrow for someone else's. |
I think a good rule of thumb is to do something to make the situaion slightly better before doing something which may make it slightly worse.
If you've done your part, joke away. |
Haha, Havoc tries to justify himself being an utter cunt and completely misses the point.
Again. |
