Murdering half a dozen people has a stronger reaction than foreclosing on the homes of hundreds of thousands. I think perspective is being asked to shut up again.

Violent crimes are always prioritized over property crimes. If you think the opposite, that's fine, just don't come in here lording over the thread like it's silly to have an opinion that is different from yours.

Rubbish. Assault a man and you won't get very long in prison - no time at all if it is a first offence. Electronically steal a  few million from a bank, first offense or not you will never see the light of day again.

I don't understand how that is relevant to what I said. You were complaining people were marching in response to murders instead of foreclosures, now you say this. Are you keeping up with your own discussion or do you just type out whatever comes to mind and then hit the post button?

[Thork]

My point was all these people go crazy over a half dozen deaths, but won't come out and march when they are all defrauded by the global financial system. I think its bizarre.

I don't think it's bizarre. Wow, great discussion Thork. I'm glad we could just sit around and say what we feel without any supporting points or thoughts. It really drives a good, engaging discourse of the subject.

[Thork]

I frankly find this whole Paris thing a complete waste of time. Millions of French stood about and trudged very slowly down a street. Do you think Jihadists care they did that? Or is it to influence politicians? Because I think if anything politicians are behind this march. I wouldn't be surprised if funding for this event was state sponsored. Its was called 'unity' and was about pushing multiculturalism, which opinion polls suggest is actually very unpopular in Europe. Politicians and news networks have leapt on this event and used it to garner support for further integration. At no point has anyone said "maybe if we didn't have an open doors immigration policy, jihadists wouldn't live amongst us". The whole thing has been designed to stifle the obvious thought in order to carry on with the low-wage agenda.

Is this when you post a picture of The Joker?

[Rushy]

You know, I didn't notice that Thork actually sounds like that:

[Pete Svarrior]

ITT: Something in the world happens that may give Thork's political party of choice the tiniest semblance of legitimacy. Thork immediately proceeds to discredit everything to do with the event.

Not a pointless contrarian at all.

It's almost like the human brain doesn't attach the same emotional significance to money as it does to death.

This would be true if we could prove that Thork's brain isn't human as Thork's brain does in fact attribute a higher importance to money over death. You need only read his comments in this thread and the "Pandemic Alert!" thread to verify my previous statement.

Thork thinks he's special because he can out logic the masses when in reality it isn't a hard thing to do. It's also pretty irrelevant to mention the GFC.

I was right about the 'pandemic'. I called it very early ... that there would be no pandemic even though every scientist and news station said there would be. There are still under 8,000 deaths 10 months later. 10 times as many people were killed in the Syrian conflict last year, yet ebola deserved $1bn. I can see doctor evil right now demanding it. One Billion Dollars, muhahahahaha!

Well you are part of the masses, so shush noisy mass!

Thork... it didn't get worse because a lot of money and people were thrown at the problem. You can't say that "i told u so lolololol" when the world did exactly the opposite of what you advised. You claimed if we ignored the problem it would go away and we were better off giving rubber boots to the midwest. You are literally the worst and I for one am glad you make no decisions whatsoever that affect the health and safety of anyone on this planet.

This reminds me of people who complain about the issue with the ozone layer never amounting to anything, and that's why we shouldn't trust scientists about anything and global warming is a lie and blah blah blah.  Granted, part of the blame probably lies with the media for overhyping problems and never caring as much about their solutions, but it's still remarkable how often people get confused between solving a problem and the problem never being real to begin with.

Where's Chris?  He should find this amusing:

No, the WHO and UN demanded 1 billion dollars. They did not get anywhere near that and the problem still went away. If they had been given the money ... would they have given it back? No chance. It would all have been spent for the same outcome.

[Rushy]

I never said they got 1 billion dollars... Where did you read that? I give up discussing your nonsense if you're not going to actually try to counter points which destroy your argument.

No sooner had I had dinner with business woman she was calling me up for more dinners. Tonight she said she must buy me dinner as a thank you for helping her at work. Anyway, I told her 'no more dinners. Its too much like a date'. She's only wasting my time.

[Vindictus]

Don't worry, you're bound to find someone to knock up sooner or later. Then you'll be a dad and you'll finally have real power.
