Definitely not a righteous response. I guess guys can say things on the internet they wouldnt dare in person.
It's true though, and It's almost exactly what I said to some people at the shop yesterday.
No one TRULY gives a shit about people they never knew dying, they just like to get on their soapbox and feel better about themselves as they pretend to care.
Its one thing to think it sad or it sucks, but thats life. People die every day, yet I don't see anyone crying about every poor soul that gets shot, or gets ran over, and gets raped to death, no, everyone suddenly wants to give a shit when its national news and it's suddenly cool to be pretend to care. Fuck that.
