What did you do with my RWHN?

[Pæs]

Suspected thought process: Rolling Stone glorified terrorisism. This is my evidence for their being Bad People.

Challenge: Maybe that wasn't their aim and this is a misinterpretation?

NONSENSE. Glorifying terrorism is exactly the sort of thing Bad People do and considering as I have already demonstrated that Rolling Stone are Bad People, it all fits together rather well!

[AFK]

But, but, but....that's different because.....

Oh, and to address this:

Martin wasn't a terrorist. He didn't blow anyone up. Neither did Zimmerman. They got into a scuffle for a stupid reason and Zimmerman survived.

Tsarnaev on the other hand, did in fact blow people up. And the fact that a kid got blown up is irrelevant. Human life is human life, regardless of age (and honestly, that you would qualify the value of human life inversely proportionate to age disgusts me), and maimed hundreds.

And yet, Gojira and I seem to be ok with him being portrayed as good kid gone wrong. Because that's what the fuck happened.

The fact that a kid got blown up is irrelevant?  Really? 

Dude, that is just a level of wrong I can't comprehend.  Come back and tell me that again when you have kids of your own.

So a kid is more valuable than an adult?

I don't believe for a second that is what motivated the cover.  $$$ is what motivated the cover.

Good journalism takes money. 
They do have to have money coming in to produce good journalism. 

What you really ought to detest is freaking tabloids, who likely make more money and do bupkuss for journalism.

Look up the cover of today's Boston Herald, which is a sensationalist conservarag, which, nevertheless, is somehow accepted as a "newspaper"

There he is all bloody with a target lighting up his forehead.  Maybe that's more what RHWN had in mind...How dare we show that he was a human?

How about this, I detest them both.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I mean think about that RWHN-

You're saying that this guy is heinous because a kid died instead of a human died. That's pretty fucked up.

[Salty]

It sure is a good thing Americans never blow up children for any reason.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

This has nothing to do with race or expected visions of evil.

Um, so nobody is talking about race or expected visions of evil as a result of this cover?

Because, that's a conversation I think is worth having and my experience is that a lot of people are having it because of this.

I'm trying, Paes.

but apparently this isn't about race.

bullshit

Than a cowardly, murdering sack of shit?  Fucking right it is.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: American citizen.

heh.

[Salty]

I mean..ho ho, that would just be TERRIBLE. Just think, your tax dollars murdering children. Gives me chills. Good thing we are all a bunch of righteous do gooders who would...

Wait..WTF am I doing?

No shithead. You're talking about ONE victim based on his age, rather than the victims COLLECTIVELY.

No he's heinous for killing and maiming them all.  What I said was the dead kid is more worthy of getting rock star status on magazine than assface.  That goes for the adults he killed and maimed too.  Any of them were more deserving.

Well, you can do that.
It's pretty obvious that the rest of us disagree about the Rolling Stone cover, though, and we have similarly valid reasons for disagreeing.

Personally, I think media sanitization of war in the west does us much more a disservice.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

This guy's a monster because he killed a kid. Nevermind the two adults though and the hundreds of injured. That's just everyday bombings. This one kid makes it all different.
