  • A thing that annoys me

    I hate when every murder is called "shocking", "brutal", "beastial", "cruel" etc on tv, even if a guy is simply shot. That is simply wrong. If every murder will be called disgusting, how will we distinguish a really filthy murder from it?

      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        I'd like to see the newscasters say the shooting is routine and the victim deserved it.

        I think the reason is to show some sympathy on the part of the newscasters seeing as they deliver the news strait with no emotion, they have to show they don't support such actions.

          I think mormons are involved. Their activity rises in winters, when the sun is weak.

            Well, isn't that more or less what is implied if the victim is non-white in redneck areas ?

              And I thought this would be about naggers.

                  I think we are way to complacent about any type of killings these days because it has become the norm.

                    This is a good point.
                    For me, if I'm pushing the Buyers, I can't say everything is hot. If everything is hot, nothing is hot.
                    If every murder is "shocking" or "brutal", though it likely is, it gets lost to our outrage.
                    Kind of a strange thing to think about. It is always brutal, but we're talking of gradient terms. Murder is murder. The outcome is the same, though the method differs. Taking that into consideration ups the ante on uttering brutal.
