France Shoot-Out

[Greyblades]

For someone who is so emotionally affected by the "war on men", it is quite strange to say that actually dead people do not bother you. And it seems quite cold in general, not something I would advertise about myself. Most parents and other normal people are always affected by pictures or even stories of dead children, there is nothing wrong with that even if they were not sheltered.

War on men?

I stopped being moved by the idea of dying children when the oxfam/cafod brigades showed up yearly in my primary school's assembly, started snapping thier fingers and saying "every three seconds a child dies of hunger", turned the death of those I dont know from a tragedy to a statistic. Not that it needed help as the sheer scale of the world makes getting worked up over every death becomes both unhealthy and pointless.
Pictures stopped bothering be somewhere between the holocaust and vietnam photos.

I'm sure seeing it in person would disturb me, I am told you can never be prepared for the smell of death, but stories and pictures of death in far off lands do not generally illicit a reaction beyond "this again?"

You'd have to be pretty sheltered to NOT still be affected by a pic of a dead body, especially a kid.

...No... you cant be desensitised by a lack of awareness

All I'm saying is that if you don't shake your head at the image of a pile of dead corpses or think "****ing hell" to yourself, there might be some issues there.

"I'm not sure what you are talking about but its long lost relevance to what I'm saying." You put yourself in this position dear. I was explaining how "cartoons" work in French media (taking example of the one of the drowned kid published by Charlie to illustrate how tragedy are so easily forgotten in our modern time) then you jump on your "Why would there be indignation" about the building of a fence, very similar to a modernised Berlin Wall.
Then you try the "Heart breaking? You have a fragile heart", obviously NOT speaking of the Hungarian fence, as you added "As for the kid, you've had access to 100-150 years worth of photographic history your entire life".
So, perhaps you are not sure of what I was talking about, but that is your problem to read the subject before to answer it, as all good teachers would tell you, I am quite pretty sure of what you are talking about.

The washed up kid is kinda ironic in hindsight, his father was a human-traficker that always took him to comfort his clients

...*sigh* Brenus' lack of english language skills strikes again!

with Hungary re-creating a Berlin wall, without not any real outcry of indignation of the "free" world.

I thought you were wondering why people werent indignant over hungary creating a wall. I pointed out that the comparison is pathetic.

When you said this:

And you should read the Media just during at least 5 days after the publishing of the picture, it was really a truly and heart-breaking indignation, at least ONE week...

I thought you were still talking about the wall and by the picture you meant one of these:

I was under the impression you were being an overdramatic wuss acting like the hungarian wall was the moral equivilent of the berlin wall.
Hence: you have a fragile heart.

As for the rest, I'm sorry if learning about a fresh new massacre week after week for ten years has made it so I dont have to cry in a corner whenever I view a fairly tame picture like the washed up syrian boy..

Glass houses...
And no, I don't feel like commenting on the topic, cry me a river. I'm way too badass for all of you.

His use of tense is confusing. Bite me.

And here is the emotional blackmail encapsulated.

Thank you for being so transparent.

I don't think you know what that means.

Here is the buzzkill encapsulated. "Get off my lawn."

[Brenus]

"Still LOLLing?" Yes. Like if Russia wasn't confronted long before to Muslim terrorism!

"*sigh* Brenus' lack of english language skills strikes again!" Ahhh, the good sound of English racism, "you don't even speak English" bits, forgetting they don't. Well, I think someone else answer to this... By the way, English...

[Gilrandir]

I suppose you are the one to know what with your uniquely extensive experience in the field of pointless arguments.

Pointless? No! Futile? Yes!

"Still LOLLing?" Yes. Like if Russia wasn't confronted long before to Muslim terrorism!

Yet it is the first time that Russia suffered not from nameless terrorists (mostly of Chechen origin). Now the terrorists have a name on them - ISIS. And the more suffering is yet to come.

[Fragony]

Do you honesty think ISIS is a threat to Russia, declaring a state is probably the dumbest thing they could have done, there are going to be a lot of tears when Russia takes of it's silk gloves
