In a Flickr photo session regarding this morning’s London bombing, instead of photos of what’s going on, this dickhead posts a derogatory cartoon of Bush. Much palaver ensues, most of it pure,100% hatred. In all the muck, a lone voice speaks
LLeufer says:
Every public forum website I've visited on the internet this afternoon has had people from every walk of life arguing on it and throwing accusations and slanderous comments at random.
Most of us, I'm sure are sickened by what has happened today, by the fact that many innocent people have been killed, injured and frightened beyond belief by these explosions, and most of us will never understand what truly drives people to act in such atrocious ways.
But what dispairs, saddens and worries me more than anything are the kind of things I see written above.
If individuals who have never met, who don't know each other cannot communicate without being hurtful or abusive, what hope in hell do we have of having any level of peace or understanding restored between nations?
Many of us are angered, frightened, disgusted by these incidents, but when we begin being abusive towards people we don't even know, we are no better than than terrorists.
There are people who have been affected by today's events who are unexpectedly having to begin to come to terms with the loss of loved ones this evening-whatever race, religion, age or sex they may be and whatever language they may speak-and when most of us are sleeping soundly tears will be keeping them awake, lets please remember them.
Which is immediately followed by
COMPLETE moron.
