2012 Aurora Shooting

As I see it, nothing separates the survivors from the victims except for mere chance, and in a way, the survivors are worse off. A number of the dead are lauded as heroes, and undoubtedly, some of the survivors have survivor's guilt and therefore believe they should be the ones that are dead.

[quote author=Bartimaeus Trilogy, "Ptolemy's Gate"]According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking[/quote]
 
now now now calm down guys

he's not rudnicki so therefore doesn't deserve dozens of users dog-piling on top of him

only one at a time please

In all seriousness, it's pretty sad how you guys decided attacking someone's view on the incident was more important that actually honoring/mourning the victims of the tragedy that actually happens to be in the thread title.

Even if it has been a while since a good honest debate. Something I'll mourn with Scarecrow.

(perhaps we should restart that us 2012 election thread, although really i don't have much to say now except that i don't like either romney or obama)

Much as I love a good debate, I concede your point.
 
I get that a lot of them are trolling, but it's still really horrible, even if they're not serious.

And some of them probably are serious, which is terrifying.
 
That just makes me sick. How could someone support him like that. It also disgusts me that a meme is coming out of a tragedy like this.
