No, no .. Ricky is really relieved. Discuss among yourselves.
No, he's only a bit relieved. Apparently making sure the feelings of a figment of his imagination aren't hurt gets him off slightly.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Personally, I find calling someone subhuman to be worse than calling someone's mother a whore, but I haven't been in a playground fight in years. I suppose all is fair in hair pulling and name calling.

Keep well away from Orlando and if you go there avoid to say that Omar Mateen deserve to be called

I would not like to come to Orlando to pick up the pieces of my future wife.
You're kinda a creepy fuck, aren't you.

Bigotism and hate-fueled violence are VERY human in nature, and dehumanizing those who do horrible things is just another way to perpetuate the same kind of hatred. The heaviest burden on the victims' shoulders is not limited to the loss of someone close to them - they also have to keep themselves from becoming as hateful and bigoted as those who hurt them.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
