Caution: Depressing Crap
Crazy
I posted this on Facebook, but I felt the need to rant (again).
The rant was brought on by this:

Caution--Graphic(ish) picture. Actually, it's quite graphic, once you keep in mind that it's real.
The difference between then ('43) and now is that back then, people cared when others died. Not only that, but Roosevelt was absolutely correct to remind Americans just what was going on in WWII, and just how much they, as a country, were losing.
I remember a forum I used to frequent had a poster who was jubilantly bragging of how he had found a picture of someone who jumped out of the World Trade Center on 9/11. I also remember how many people joined him to say it was "really cool" and so on. Basically discussing it with zeal, because apparently death is hilarious.
And I vividly remember the absolute hate I felt for my generation, who apparently thinks that the deaths of others, in a national tragedy, yet--are acceptable entertainment.
It reminds me of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by John Donne. [link]

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
They'll jump all over you with "freedom of speech" and "it's the internet!"
Or, the whole "America sucks anyway, so just shut up!" thing.

And their arguments suck. As for the "free speech" bs, just because you have free speech doesn't give you the right to be a douche with it; and concerning the "America sucks anyway"...I'd reply, " Yeah, because if dicks like you."

People are becoming more and more like YouTube commenters--they're perfectly happy to state their opinion, but if someone disagrees, they go batshit.

Oh, I know. It's like, so it's OK for you to disagree with me, but not the other way around?

Well, you know... there's that expression about shits and giggles
Shits that giggle?
Doesn't quite ring the same. I'll have to work on that one.

There is more to being a decent critic than saying you like or hate something. Challenge yourself to say which things you like about something you are judging/doing a critique on, or what about it you don't.

You know, just plain cruel and not comedic, like that guy who posted drowning a kitten? ala that?
