Hundred of refugees being killed weekly in the waters trying to get from A to B

Some perspective needed here I think..

They're not mutually exclusive, it's not like people showing sympathy for his family don't have the same level of sympathy for other regular people killed in tragic circumstances. This sanctimonious holier than thou bullshit is always predictable when someone high profile dies. It's insulting, presumptuous and frankly ignorant. Don't presume you know what I and others think about different tragedies. You wouldn't know perspective if it bit you on the arse.

Oops I've upset markey... Again..

You obviously don't know me that well.. because if you did, you wouldn't come out with such horse shit..

Who are you asking to show perspective? Enlighten me? Has anyone said they feel more sympathy for this guy, than an average Joe? No they haven't, so quit with the crappy poor Vs rich tragedies narrative. It's old and such a fucking shit overused cliche.
 
As is the faux blaming ourselves for a refugee crisis, like the East havent been bombing the shit out of eachother for centuries under the leadership of tyrant after tyrant. I wasn't really feeling the self loathing when some cunt bombed a local arena where mates were, I wasn't looking in the mirror disgusted saying "look what you did!". Were you? Probably not, so shut the fuck up.
 
I dunno why this has brought the rage on but you can draw clear lines between our escapades in the middle east and what comes next, going back a very long time - but it's not funny, so please desist and renounce all further bullshit.

Yeah you can (I'm not disputing that, but it's not all on the west either), but I'm not the one who brought the faux "it's all our fault" bullshit into the argument about whether we should sympathise with a kid who got killed, who also happens to be quite rich. Like none of us give a fuck about families going under in the English Channel. It's a lazy criticism.

So far this year the numbers of professional footballers and the numbers of refugees who have drowned in the English channel is probably quite close.
 
Exactly this..

And that's sadly the world we live in

Forget the responsibility the West has to these people as it's their intervention for other means and lack of where it matters that's caused it in the first place

What countries do you have in mind ?

Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq account for 29% of asylum seekers in Europe.

What about the other 71% ?
 
I think most people can find humour in tragedy, because otherwise what's the point

The closer to home it is, the less funny it is

I'll crack a rape joke, but if I was violently sodomized I wouldn't be chuckling about it

But I haven't been, so... What's black and has 8 legs?
 
If I could be arsed I would write a song about counting refugees entering a country to the tune of Mambo number 5.
