Hurricane Rita:

[Lucandrake]

Omg >.<. First Katrina, now Rita...... theres a small percentage it might hit lousianna according to channel 7 down here. Besides that the outer bands of it are already on top of me . No I want to keep my power/life/internet >.<.

[Gryph]

Goddamit, this sucks. They already took away our fall break to make up for lost time. Maybe it will hit Texas instead.

[Lucandrake]

Yes I forgot to add that as the other possibility *nods*

 

Edit: We keep getting school days off also but so far no drastic changes just 2-3 more days of school :s

A general reaction that puts me in the mind of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, but not insofar that, by the same logic you employ, those some 250,000 people who were killed were deserving victims of chance. Rather I'm reminded of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement of missing Norwegian citizens in the number of 1400, a number quickly dropped to 77, and ultimately 13 dead.

 

But, in true narccicistic fashion, that didn't stop the Norwegian public from leaping up and proclaiming "See how we too have suffered from the tsunami." Even the Foreign Affairs Minister went out of the way to include "In Norway we, too, are in mourning for the loss of family and friends" as if to make a play for the pity and attention enjoyed by other nations with legitimately gargantuan death counts. A prime example of a nation-state so consumed with envy and cultural delusion, they will make any grab for significance, ignorant of real consequence and almost jubilant at the prospect of such a high death toll, as though it were the best thing that could have happened to them.

 

Now we see the same inferiority complex play out only instead being directed externally at, big surprise, the United States. Now I've dealt with this kind of pathetic passive aggression before and normally I wouldn't go into such length to debunk it, but it stands to reason that any kind of staggering sense of inadequacy that would result in being flip and jovial about tens of thousands of people being killed by random events shows who the bitches really are.

Although I agree with you, you should never take anything people say here seriously. Not because they are attempting to be funny, but because most of them are stupid.
