Crane crash at Grand Mosque of Makkah

[Mudhammam]

Jw,

I have a message to deliver on behalf of humanity...

Go fuck yourself.

I sincerely hope you don't really think that and are just fishing for attention.

I honestly couldn't care less about them. if they believe their own bullshit then they did win the lottery of life and the crane crash did them a favour as they're all in paradise now. I'm certainly not going to shed any crocodile tears over them.

If this is the face of atheism, I'd rather drop C_L a quick message where I can sign up.

[Longhorn]

It isn't. and if it was, the face of catholicism isn't any better

Thankfully it's only people sharing disgusting insights of themselves.

Yes, but it is so shockingly easy and tempting to dehumanize other groups completely. The phenomenon on display here is exactly what was going on in our backyard 80 years ago, isn't it. Man can bring themselves to a point with little effort where we look at grieving families heartbroken at the loss of their loved ones, and mock them for it.

Exactly. That's why I get that passionate when blanket statements are made or supported. My family went through that some 70 years ago and it's the reason why I don't have any extended family. And they fought it. My granduncle in the Austrian civil war of 1934 at the side of Otto Bauer and later on as a republican general in the Spanish Civil War. My grandfather by providing false documents for fellow jews. The least I can do is speak up whenever sommething disgusting is said.

And I don't know what disgusts me more. Joking over people getting killed or outright applauding the fact.

The only thing I can think of is how can we help construction engineers to use better practices. Beats blasting dead workers whose religion or lack thereof is responsible for the construction. If anything, it is a technical failure.
