Default Re: Attention whores who take advantage of horrible events (VT -relate

No, I don't think so -- I just think AZK spends way too much time trolling Facebook and doesn't like seeing other people expressing support for something. And I'm offering up a way for AZK to put himself in touch with those who could help him gain empathy.

A lot of people showing up at those vigils don't actually have any friends or relatives who were shot at VT. Is their support somehow fake because they don't have a true individual connection to the shootings?

Some go to vigils, some enter Facebook profiles, why should someone have contempt for one group, and empathy for the other, especially when they're not even that bothered by the shootings in the first place?

AZK and others could learn from Badger's post, especially the part about "concerning myself to people I know". Why get yourself worked up about someone's Facebook page -- it's no more concern of yours than is the fact that 33 complete strangers to you got shot to death.
