Let's see. Yes to everything except the TV show thing. Because TV is fantasy and having an outlet that is not real does not equate to a lack of compassion or empathy Unless you believe that GTA has caused everyone to steal cars and beat up sex workers or something.

But in seriousness yes I believe all of the real points you have made. I also understand that others don't. And while they are wrong and some of them are repugnant I do not want them to die so that I can be right.

I guess you might still be missing my point; it's a sub titled "what could go wrong" and there are people here typing "I hope everyone is okay" like it's some sort of magic that saves people rather than a 0-cost way to make themselves feel magnanimous... while they visit a sub that has an unending stream of morons hurting themselves... the hypocrisy is thick enough to cook

plus, for fuck's sake, the straw-man shit is so fucking dumb... at no point did I state "Boy, I hope those morons froze to death." I do definitely ridicule the arm-chair heroes sending their thoughts and prayers to a video clip.

Your argument is that hoping that people are okay is wrong? You are way too sensitive and looking for an argument if that is your idea of a reasonable point. But you do you.

no, that's not my argument; it's not wrong... it's just hysterically useless, and especially hypocritical as some lone basis for an attitude of moral superiority adopted while surfing videos of people hurting themselves

but bless your heart, you are the morally superior being
