I honestly don't know what to say other than God be with the families and friends who have lost their loved ones. |

huh... is it bad that I really don't have any particular reaction to things like these? |

^nope. same thing with me. its not impossible to pay respects tho -_- |
| marioandsonic #292282 1 year ago |
Fucking disgusting.
Who the hell kills 90+ kids?! They're children, FFS! |
| AdrianBrony #292284 1 year ago |
well of course be respectful but I feel really bad when I can't make myself really care about it. I feel bad about the fact I don't feel bad about it. |
| Pegasi #292285 1 year ago |
Ohhhhh 100 people died. How shocking.
Seriously, every 12 seconds a child is dieing somewhere in Africa and nopony gives a flying fuck about them. But when a right wing lunatic killes arround 100 people in Europe everypony, is shocked and sad. I don't want to hurt anyponys feelings, but please don't act like this is the worst thing since 9/11! Even 9/11 was overrated. Don't get this the wrong way I really feel deeply sorry for anyone who lost someone. :( |

the attack was a domestic attack. some right wing lunatic. |

@Pegasi My god....
That was truly horrible.... |

Norway does have some troops deployed to Afghanistan; they're as valid a target for reprisal attacks against any. The attack on the schoolchildren was an obscenity, but bombing the government building was basically a legitimate act of war. |

this was not related to middle eastern terrorists. it was done by a right wing Norwegian. no international politics or anything involved. |
| Anonymous #292334 1 year ago |
but in africa, people reproduce mindlessly like rabbits without thinking how to feed all these kids, so it's only their parents to blame, what did those people in norway did to deserve it? |
| Pegasi #292337 1 year ago |
Sorry if I seam like a dick here. This is horrible and shocking and I feely deelply sorry for anyone who lost some one they loved. But this overall histeria and collective grief makes me kinda mad. As I said noone gives a shot about children dieing everyday in Africa and elsewhere on the globe.
Or do you imply that the death of a American or European is worse then the death of an African? If you say "the wolrd is so horrible omg omg" then please don't only focus on this. Focus on EVERYTHING! |

Are you honstly implying that Africans DESERVE to die, do to their shitty medical standarts? I am talking about Children here. You make me fucking sick! No one derseves death. (Maybe Hitler did) |
| Anonymous #292363 1 year ago |
no, i'm just saying that people starving in africa are more responsible for their situation (by not controlling their population) than people in europe getting killed by some maniac. i never said that anyone deserves to die. |

Holy shit.

That's pretty horrible.
One thing that particularly irritates me, though, that he was (supposedly) a Christian. Why would any Christian see fit to do such a thing? I can only surmise it was because of his extreme political views... |

Try surpressing your sexdrive when the church tells you not to use condoms. But thats a totally different point. I'm not even talking about AIDS. I'm talking about the starvation and evaporation of children. And NO the people aren't responsible for that. It's not like they piss in wells or something. But yeah, this discusssion has to end. |

Any time there's a tragedy, there's also some kid who goes around looking for attention by loudly proclaiming "I DON'T CARE THAT THIS HAPPENED. EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW SPECIAL I AM."
They deserve to be ignored. |

You seem like a dick because you are being a dick. Just because people are focusing on this for now that doesn't mean they don't give a shit about other horrible things happening in the world. |
| Pegasi #292444 1 year ago |
That's may be correct, but alot people arent even aweare of the misery happing on the world, that has not bee ncoverd by the media. And yeah I'm kind of a dick. Proplem? |
| Wrongness #292452 1 year ago |
There is a difference between someone starving and someone being murdered. Both are equally horrid but it is harder for people to be angry at starvation than it is for them to be at a physical person who murders someone. A murderer is a Physical target to aim our anger and hatred at while starvation has no form it just is. |
| Lockstep #292458 1 year ago |
Pegasi, don't think that you're the only one who knows or cares about what's happening in Africa. Bringing it up doesn't make you sound enlightened, it makes you sound like an ass.
Tragedies in the First World strike us deeper because we live in the First World. Such an event as this shows us that we are not as safe as we would like to think. We want to think that we are above the constant tragedy of the Third World, and in many ways we are. That's why people are sad about this. It's a matter of perspective; pretending that you understand the perspectives of those in the Third World better than anyone else here is foolish. Comparing tragedies to each other is insulting. Talking about "bigger" ones in the wake of a "small" one makes you sound insensitive to them all, as if the head count is all that matters. |

If I were one of those whom tragedies in the First Worlds struck harder than any other simply because I happen to live in a First World country, I'd be forced to shudder at the thought of myself, personally.
I've always shied away from the human tendancy to empathize more with individuals more like (superficially, anyway) oneself. It's not exactly our species' best trait, and isn't indicative of much other than our own closed-mindedness, selfishness, and tendancy to self-aggrandize. I have to admit I'm with Adrian a bit on this, though. While these types of events do upset me (though maybe disappoint would be a better word), never once have I been shocked as many seem to be when stuff like this happens, as if violence and cruelty aren't common things in this world. People praying, crying in the streets, etc... I've just never understood it. |
| ZePassionateOne #292662 1 year ago |
As much I hate to admit it...I kinda agree with you Doc, after all, as Sigmund Freud said once, the human being is evil by nature....but then again, Freud was kind of a dick. |

It's hard to feel really sad about "someone somewhere in the world is dying right now" because it's so distant.
That's pretty natural, to be honest. |

After being apprehended, Breivik was characterized by officials as being a right-wing extremist.[61] Breivik is described by the newspaper Verdens Gang as considering himself a conservative nationalist.[47] He has been described as a Christian fundamentalist by news sources[62][11] and is reported to have written many posts on the website document.no,[60] described by Aftenposten as "Islam-critical and Israel-friendly".
Typical fundie extremist Conservative. |

It was entirely because he did belive in Jesus and God, and by definition, he is a Christian (protip: most Christians do not obey all biblical laws, seeing as how much the bible is self-contradictory, so which rules are followed does not define "A Christian", only faith in the myth of Jesus), that he found it justified to kill.
I'm sure he'll tell all about his revelation and his personal relationship with God that told him to kill; after all, if God says to kill, and God is good, then it must be good to kill in the name of God, right? If TrollYaweh didn't go "lol, j/k" at the last second, and Abraham killed Issac/Ishmael in a human sacrifice, then he can't be guilty of murder because he was only doing as God commanded, right? And obedience to the 'divine, mysterious plan of God,' which is supposedly beyond reproach or human understanding (no matter how objectionable, cruel, hateful, violent, sexist, racist, homophobic, bigoted, or egomaniacal it may seem, we should have faith and follow divine will and not our own free will that He gave us for the sole purpose of 'choosing' his will alone, under threat of eternal torture, which is proof of God's love), is more important than what we think is good, right? Or, as we like to say in the real world: "People who think they talk to invisible voices are dangerously crazy." |
| Xuncu #292881 1 year ago |
I'm just saying; for all the jokes we make about Celestia being a tyrant, I'd hoped more of you would notice that this is right up Yaweh's alley, and his usual MO. |

Tragedies are hard to understand on a emotional level if one does not have had an experience similar to the tragedy involved. Though I would not like to continue the discussion about Africa any further than it has already been, I can say people do care of the things that happen in there, but don't know how to help or comprehend fully the situation there. We can't just throw money at the place if the place itself is not ready to sustain a healthy economy and government. It is true that there are a lot of improvements to be made regarding the help we could possibly give Africa, but that is more of a political matter rather than a domestic one. The tragedies that happen in Africa are not reported, not because reporters don't care, but because of the sheer ammount of things that happen there would be impossible to individually report and because of said instability would also be in certain places be a life-threatening one to report on. News talk about developments that are out of the ordinary, therefor we do not report of things people already know. I think most people already know things could be better in Africa. Japan is still recovering from its own tragedy, but it isn't talked about in the news, because people already know it. These things take time and guilt rarely does anything, but make people even more helpless. Best thing to do is to inform HOW to help rather than just say the place needs help. Our own countries are still no utopias and they need to fix their own problems before they can truly help any other countries in a more decisive and focused manner.
At this point it is best to mourn this tragedy and worry about the problems in Africa later. If you don't want to mourn, than let others who do have that solemn right. We will worry about other problems in the world a few days after this. |
