More online insensitivity
Over the deaths of several people, and the serious injury of many others?

What's happened to you lot since I've been gone?

We crucified all the people who get up in arms when strangers die

I'm not getting up in arms
Right now I'm just a little bemused.

Has the world really become so desensitised by the never-ending barrage of media shite that when a story like this comes along, all the see are the numbers, and have no empathy for the real human lives that have been ended or deeply effected by it?

It is entirely possible
I know for a fact that I'm desensitised to most things. Also, people who cry and moan about such events when they haven't lost anyone dear to them annoy me. Doubly so if the dead person was a celebrity.

Give it a rest Bert.
We're not buying this new found sensitive side.

I'm not selling it
I just thought that of all places that were likely to have a little sympathy for the victims of a serious shooting, it would be Off Topic

I think the perspective on the reclining figure is excellent.

It's an MSPaint masterpiece and no mistake.

The grey socks though, tragic.

Are you referring to the images that were posted yesterday?
I loved them, I wish we'd had more, but that's not the point.

You claimed to be training yourself to become a counsellor, you gave advice on techniques you'd learned, and told us all how it's best just to listen, and yet here you are having kicked me while I was down, complaining about the inconveneient news coverage of the deaths of several people.
I don't think it shows you in the best light, Noel. If I were captain of the HMS Therapy, I'd keel-haul you til your tits fell off

He's only reading a Dummies book
Not like he's going to end up qualified or anything.

Good keel hauling though.

This is true
I've read a dummies book on car repair, but it sure as hell doesn't make me a mechanic

I'm just glad of the attention, really.

Buy a gun then, and get ready to rumble.

Make sure it's a "single barrelled shotgun with a scope"
As one eye-witness described it...
