has anyone ever noticed how these kind of stories always result in 99% insulting the perpetrator and 1% wishing well for the victim's family really speaks to our society, no

Wishing well for a family who lost their daughter seems kinda silly thing to do imo. But then again so does insulting the criminal.

It's about who did this and why, not who he did it to. In this situation he murdered a human being, so we get angry at him for that. When a news story does not impact you directly, you sympathize more with the generalization(humanity) rather than the family of a specific victim because we don't know them and don't really care about them. What we care about is that any of us could've been in her place and that is what causes us to get angry at the killer. Atleast I see it that way.

Good.

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;33873819]Sorry for not being smart enough.[/QUOTE] What? The problem isn't that you're not smart enough. The problem is that you said something incredibly bigoted, and tried to back it up with psuedoscientific bullshit. Then when you were called out on it, you backpedaled and said you meant the opposite.

I later said that it's about surroundings which does contradict my first post and could be considered backpedaling, but I never backed up the gene pool comment. My english isn't perfect so I thought "gene pool" was more than just broken sperm, my bad.

Genetics =/= learned behaviour. I don't know, your English seems perfect to me. I know you reside in a non-English speaking country, but I've seen enough of your posts to know you have a much better grasp of English than like 99% of people in my country.

Also - with exception to the Hilary Duff episode, which he was doing to fit in - when does Abed insult people, or use sarcasm to make his point? Abed isn't like that at all; he's almost too sincere, and learns his social cues from television.

really innocent being killed by thugs for no reason at all?
