It's a picture, on the internet, found on 4chan, I didn't create it. So stop crying that "OP is ****** up!" and that I'm affecting your freedoms, you know people can also lose family members without a bullet? I haven't seen my mother since I was ******* five. So CALM THE **** DOWN.
You cant really compare those 2 events to something like this because the situations are different. When you join the military, you dont join to die, you join to serve and protect the United States from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Ive been the one to give the American flag to that son or wife that wont get to see her husband come home through the front door again. Dont get me wrong, when I heard about sandy, I felt nothing but the need to bear the **** out of the guy who did that. Does this picture bother me? No, not really. I just wanted to give my 2 cents on what this picture means to me since ive been in situations like that.
I am capable of empathy. Probably more so that the average person, and I laugh at these jokes. It's a terrible thing and I feel for the people who befall these tragedies. But I find these jokes funny and I laugh, because even if something is terrible we need to laugh at it to get past it.
The types of people laughing at these jokes don't need to get past anything. They don't find it sad. They just think it's funny. You don't need to lie to make yourself feel like less of an asshole. The whole "I'm sad about this, but I need to laugh to cope with it" thing is ******** .
The truth is that anyone who laughs at death is simply an asshole. Anyone who feels the need to lie to make themselves look better is even more of an asshole.
And those who say people shouldn't laugh at something because it's sad or offensive is an even bigger asshole. Like I said, it's either cry or laugh. I could lower my head in mourning for this soldier or I could laugh at this joke. Regardless of what I do I will move on and forget about it just like everyone who thinks this went too far. I just choose to laugh.
For the record (I don't care if you think I am lying) I would still not be laughing, a man is dead and a son is fatherless no matter what ******* pigment their skin is. I don't give two flying ***** if you are purple for ***** sake. Let's just leave race out of this one eh?
See, sometimes I don't get it. There are just those times where something the community laughs at at a daily basis is suddenly not funny to the community at all.
You guys are ******* ridiculous. This is a serious moment in this childs life and you're cutting it down and demoralizing it. Have you ever been 360 Quick-Scoped? I bet not. It's a trying time in a 12 year olds life.
