That's a mistake too.

So, if what Wicca is saying is right about sympathy
If somebody got drunk and wrapped their car round a tree, killing your brother and sister, would they deserve sympathy too?

Of course they wouldn't, you'd be furious.

That analogy doesn't even work.
You should probably just accept one of these two options:
1) You've said something very silly in this thread, and you're going to learn from it and not do it again.
2) You're a horrible, uncaring little monster who would have no qualms about laughing out loud in a burns unit.

Pft
I care about people a lot, and I'm very sympathetic to those who deserve it. But I have a line of morals that if you're stupid enough to do stuff like that, then it's your fault.

Also, the analogy does work. She said the person made a mistake and deserves sympathy.

people don't get sympathy for mistakes,
they get sympathy for horrific injuries.
Cretin.

I think that would also be very much a sad story,
and not in the least bit funny, even if followed by another story of a drunk person crashing into a tree and only killing themselves.
