See, you illustrate my point exactly.

Actually, what you're failing to account for/appreciate is that people use ..and actually NEED macabre humour as a coping mechanism for things that scare/disturb them; notwithstanding that there will ALWAYS be the pr!ck brigade that ham it up for their own warped ends, many perfectly ordinary and decent people (often subconsciously) follow this pattern.

That's one; another item for you to maybe consider assimilating before you go off pop like this at people is that steady exposure to nigh on anything inures people's responses to it. And I mean just about anything: soon after being exposed to a pungent odour you end up not smelling it; get exposed to the kind of mind numbing violence, depravity and sheer disregard for life that our criminal element inflict on our population EVERY.single.day and you end up with a situation where the bar on what shocks just keeps getting raised ..hence (in part) the reactions you see here.

Case in point: we JOKE about our holiday road death tolls, scenes of carnage where people die in droves and, with the multiplier effect that every death brings by the fact of their nearest and dearest being affected, we're talking about cyclical holocausts of misery that this country absorbs ..because it has to. And yet, in (relatively, in terms of how they treat each other) civilised countries where they don't annually cull their populations with, well, the "car"nage (sorry, dreadful pun snuck up on me ..and, well, it's relevant) we do, just ONE of the minibus taxi crashes/busses going off the road/etc. would cause a national outcry.

And that's before things like cash-in-transit heists which, while terrible enough are at least (see the kind of frames of reference we have to use here?) between aggressors and comparatively hard targets, as in they're armed and armoured. The innocent civilians whose lives these utterly inhumane savages cavalierly destroy with no more compunction than the rest of us spray for bugs aren't nearly as fortunate - and yet, we get exposed to this almost daily ...and something HAS to give, or else we go mad; hence what you are complaining about.

So, friend schitz, I say to you: go think over that some and come back once you get it 'k?

...hrm, seems this got under my skin; well, in the name of discourse, and all that. :cool:
