Well, Frank, you woudn't want him to get the wrong impression.
Well, that's a problem here.
It's
always a
given that decent and civilized people care, even when something bad happens to someone we don't like.
That is, if it's
truly important.
Such as Big Mo's loss of her favorite dog; nobody, but nobody, here ever had the slightest intention of laughing at her. Big Mo was in pain, and we felt her pain.
Usually decent and civilized people show we care by
omission; we don't say anything, we don't bring the thread here.
But Big Mo, because of her whining and bitching that we make fun of the predicaments of the primitives, even the truly sad poignant problems primitives have, well, we were
forced to wear our virtue on our sleeve, to publicize our charity, kindness, and compassion.
I didn't like doing it--it's so primitive-ish, bragging that one "cares"--and I hope Big Mo's now satisfied. If it's something
truly important, we care.
But there's the other 99.482% of the time, that a primitive problem is just plain silly or stupid, and generally the primitive's own fault.
