300 Fewer Assholes in the World

RE: 300 Fewer Assholes in the World
Quote:170 "assholes" died during the tonga/samoa tsunami, another win by your standards min?


Were they warned? Did they pray for the sea to spare them? Did the warning siren go off and they all ran down to the beach and prayed to the sea god to save them? If so, then yes. If not, they were just victims of a natural disaster.

If a volcano is blowing up and some shithead tells you that everything will be okay because he can talk to the volcano AND YOU LISTEN AND STAY THERE AND GET FUCKING KILLED then you are an ASSHOLE.

And therefore, no loss.

Doesn't look like the gatekeeper fared too well against the pyroclastic flow.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot

"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"

Stupid gatekeeper, he doesn't know the first thing about volcanoes.. He should have thrown a virgin or two into volcano instead of talking to it...
