"Mourning"?? "Sorry"??

This massacre that happened at VA Tech has me wondering something. I keep seeing and hearing ppl say "I feel sorry for those families", or headlines in the paper like "In mourning...". My q is this...do ppl REALLY feel these ways?? Do ppl really care about those that lost lives at VA Tech? I sure as hell don't. I don't care what happened...actually, I find it kinda funny that he killed the first two, the campus wasn't locked down (I understand their reasons why) and then TWO hours later he kills a shitload of other ppl. I have no feelings towards those families that lost loved ones. Another example, an ex-coworker told me his mom is in the hospital. Of course, the appropriate response is "I'm sorry to hear that, I hope she gets well soon" and I replied accordingly. However, in reality, I give less than a shit she's in the hospital. I NEVER met her...so why should I give a fuck? I only said it 'cuz I know it's what is expected of a "normal" person....and enough ppl already wonder about me as it is. LOL But, seriously, do ppl really care about others like that, that they have never even fuckin' met?? Or am I alone in the fact that I don't give a shit about anyone that is not related to me or that I don't know personally? Please...respond, and let me know...I am really curious to find out the answer to this.

	hmmm... if a Jeffrey Dahmer wannabe (or I suppose it would be an Albert Fish wannabe) kidnapped your child and drilled a hole in her head and poured chemicals in to try to make her a zombie, but ended up killing her instead, so he boiled her in a pot and saved some of her in the refrigerator, I wonder if I would feel sympathy? Yes, because I know what it would feel like for her and for everyone who knew her. It doesnt matter if I knew her or not, because I know what humans feel, because I'm human too. HOWEVER... I do hate when everyone grabs onto one big headline story and makes a big fake show of 'emotion' just because it's fashionable. Those people are FAKES na d hypocrites. The thing is, I have know way of knowing who the truly caring people are and who the phonies are. Maybe if theyre people you know, you can tell. And I agree, they suck. Where's the sympathy for the thousands of other people who died even more horribly on the day of the V-Tech shooting?

	I sometimes care for those I've never met. Sympathy is a character flaw I suppose.

	I agree wholeheartedly, but then again I would. I belong to a community of anonymous internet monsters who daily laugh at all the twisted perversions and mutilations the world has to offer. When VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO it became a celebration of sorts; everybody was giddy and drunk off the wickedness of making humour out of horror. I got swept up in the joy before I could feel the shock. I also feel sympathy for Eric and Dylan and I think I'm less responsive to other people's pain. I worry about myself sometimes.

	But, No, there is nothing wrong with the way you think. I wish the rest of the world catch on and glorifying the whole damn thing.

	I know what you mean. I got very tired of hearing that same shit when my son died. Or He's with god now. You know what that's not what I wanted to hear. All I wanted to say was "Fuck God and Fuck you too for even saying that to me!" I know what those families are kinda going through and yeah it sucks but there is nothing I can say or do to make them feel better. No one can! I'm sick of this fake ass, world we live in. Like you saying "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims" And that does what exactly? Nothing! Leave these people alone. Let them mourne in peace. If you must interfere, send money to help pay for the funeral or some shit like that but really, Leave them in peace.
