The following is a chat log from the other day I had with Amenic on Gmail. Underline text has been edited to include a link to the subject I was referring to, for those of you not up on current events: Nexius: YES http://edition.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/28/microwave.baby.ap/index.html?eref=rss_latest A mother intentionally put her month-old daughter in a microwave oven and cooked the child to death after a fight with her boyfriend, a prosecutor told jurors Thursday... bioshake: man my wife would snap if she read that brb Nexius: what? your wife is that sheltered? bioshake: man she's a woman and woman typically do not like to hear about babies getting killed especially not by their mothers and especially not in the microwave not everyone is as completely desensitized as you Nexius: not liking to hear something doesnt mean that it doesnt happen, i can understand how some people want to live in thier little bubble where a modern military superpower wouldnt shell civilian towns in the middle of the night or so called peace keeping troops rape every woman and girl they come across in jungle villages or how a government embezzled billions of dollars that were supposed to go to relief for disaster victims but that doesnt mean that that shit doesnt happen Desensitized? no I just woke the fuck up thats all bioshake: whoa rant boy its a BABY Nexius: and it suffered 30 seconds on high .... 40 seconds max... what about those children solders huh? thats more of a travesty if we're ranking things here bioshake: man you're messed up _______________________________________________________________ I'd like to make it clear I'm not calling him out on this or anything, though I obviously disagree with his opinion I still respect it. I was just wondering what your opinions were on my thought processes concerning the subject at hand. N Edited by Neuromancer, Aug 30 2008, 03:04 PM.

Society takes all kinds. Horrible shit happens, but generally I only care about the horrible shit in my own country. Other country's should deal with their problems on their own, and I don't understand why its our responsibility to act as the global crutch. Its a shitty world we live in, but I don't dwell on it. Nothing really surprises me anymore either, and much like you Nexius I don't think im desensitized. I just think "wow thats awful, but it doesnt surprise me." The world is an awful, awful place full of endless people with endless desires willing to go to endless means to obtain them. And with a canvas like that, you never know whats gonna get painted. |

I feel more or less the same as both of you, I wouldn't go so far as to say I am desensitized but more along the lines of I am prepared to know the worst this world has to offer. When I hear things like that I just laugh and say "wow how retarded can you be" or something similar to that instead of saying "oh my god how awful blah blah" and get all sensitive about the matter. Perfect example when the Twin Towers went down my mother was crying because of how awful it was to see on the news, I just stood there watching and getting angry that my beautiful hometown was getting destroyed. Though now that I think of it, that does sound insensitive. ACK! |

cooking a baby is fucked. but so is children soldiers. so is murder in general. im surprised that guy didnt hit his limit break and omni-fuck-that-bitch-up. i cant personally relate to either situation but i have read, seen enough on the internet and al jazera to realize that there is some fucking crazies out there... welcome to the era of cell phone videos of hangings. |

I don't believe that his wife is that sheltered necessarily, throwing a baby in a microwave because you are a slut that sleeps around and are worried that if your boyfriend finds out it isn't his he will leave is fucked up. She obviously should have done everyone a favor and figured out how to microwave herself and save the world from someone that thinks doing this is an acceptable way out of a perceived bad situation. This doesn't mean that I do not find the other situations completely wrong, but just because it is one child does not make it any less tragic or appalling nor does it make the person sheltered because they find it so. |

If I ever hear anyone complain, and I know that they've lived their entire lives in America I like to remind them of where they live. I can, for instance, go into just about any coffee shop and I can be pretty sure no one's going to blow the place up. |

You're not fucked up, it's just easy to be evil. Even poor old Jacques-Yves Cousteau was fucked in the head: "In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 per day. It's horrible to say but it's even more horrible not to say it." Edited by Casino, Aug 30 2008, 09:52 PM.

Hopefully she put a paper towel over the baby so she didn't have to clean up splatter. |

I don't think your fucked up. On a side note my favorite news headline was "Woman charged in baby as weapon case" here is the story on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15197558/ It's a horrible story but the kid survives... I think. |
