    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Meanwhile there were 453 Islamic terror attacks in 2018 which were mostly a footnote or not even mentioned. Also that one didn't show up for long on the mainstream media cycle. Its significance in social media was minimal compared to Christchurch and I don't know where you're getting weeks, it...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Yeah it was also excessive and over dramatized. Also its been a few years now so obviously I would expect it to have more publicity. But in this case I don't know if there was a political underpinning. You might make a good case that the reason this became so prominent was because the right...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Ok then the attacks which wiped out something like 80% of the population in 4 Christian village in Africa was roughly equivalent to 350,000,000 Americans being killed. I don't see what your point is with this statistic. I don't understand why we would use a population percentage when it could...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    This whole post is a straw man fallacy and is extremely simplistic. I'm not saying the media shouldn't cover major events because more people in general die--that's a straw man. I've never said that. I think its fair to cover the Christchurch shooting and to admit it was tragic, then move on...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Yeah that's a great point so why does this particular attrocity deserve so much attention when so many other things are forgotten about essentially. My point is that people need to get some perspective

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    The point is that gun violence and massacres happen all the time. And it's not baseless. Where was the news coverage for the four Christian villages that were basically annihilated in the past few weeks? Or how about the 453 Islamic terrorist attacksin 2018. We hardly heard anything. This story...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    I remember and I was saying the exact same thing I am now. That people are being overdramatic and hysterical. The people and media are very arbitrary about which atrocities they deem are worthy to care about. Even still I think the moral outrage for this event is even more significant

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Oh give it a rest. You clearly think you're so morally Superior and it's amusing. And let me guess you think Trump caused all this. Are you familiar with Trump derangement syndrome?

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    No in the United States it's all over the news. Social media is blowing up. People are making vigils in the street.

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    yeah and you don't care a lick about the Christians in Africa who are slaughtered monthly. Them being immigramts and Muslims is irrelevant. I'd be saying the same thing if people were getting hysterical about 50 Buddhists. There's ironic self righteousness oosing from your post. You just care...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Ok but you're forgetting the nearly 40,000 who died due to gun violence in the united states in 2018. Where is the moral outrage about that? Not nearly as much as the 50 people in new Zealand. When I look at those numbers how can I possibly be deeply concerned with 50 people? You're right its...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    4 Christian Villages were wiped out in Africa and it hardly made the news. So why is Christchurch more news worthy than the almost 2000 who have been killed by the 453 Islamic terrorist attacks in 2019 alone? I mean Shiites and Sunnis blow up each other's mosques all the time and nobody...

    The great achievements and advancements of Socialism

    Their greatest achievements, meaning their largest, would probably be the kill death ratio of their own citizens. Capitalism is definitely less by an order of magnitude at least.

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    I know its a trending topic but you would expect people to keep things in perspective more. I mean where is their concern about the thousands who die everyday? It just feels like a political move to advance certain agendas. If it was a Christian Church in Africa blown up by a Muslim terrorist...

    Meanwhile, this guy.

    I mean its a fallacious statement when talking about the cause of the bloodshed, but from your response you're making him sound like Hitler. We can say his comment was idiotic and over dramatic towards the end but its not like he's a pedophile or a gang leader or something. So how many utters...

    Why is everyone losing their minds about Christchurch?

    Its all over the news. People are freaking out. People are calling this the worst atrocity in modern history. Unbelievable over dramatization. Sure its tragic and I wish it didn't happen, but on the other hand nobody seems to care about the tens of thousands who die every day from preventable...

    Truth is not same for everyone.

    Mmmmmmmmmm fallacies. Truth is usually defined as that which comports with reality. From all of our knowledge, it seems likely that the universe existed long before human consciousness. So in other words that reality is independent of ourselves. So its not about seeing truth from different...

    Would a simulated human consciousness disprove the existence of a soul?

    I'm talking about the soul from a classical theist definition, not some wishy washy abstract thing that goes beyond any kind of logic and reasoning. Say IBM builds a computer system that simulates every neuron in someone's brain.This brain, through speakers and a terminal, can communicate just...

    Do you think Donald Trump had destiny?

    God everyone overreacts so much about Trump. Its most likely going to be a below average/mediocre presidency. Nothing that significant beside a trade war has taken place and that hasn't been all that bad. Like its not great, but its not all this doom and gloom that people are portraying.
