I thought maybe the OP had an idea, but I agree with you.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I have a list of people or countries to be nuked.
As a French, I'd of course start with UK

You know this is almost a daily, for sure weekly occurrence in Syria but not once do people post condolences for them.
Guess some people really are less important than others.
Not impressed at all. Selective sympathy: take it somewhere else.

You choose to neglect the state of war in Syria.
Person by person, the sadness is the same for all. Senseless death. Lost potential. Unfulfilled dreams.
Somehow, I see a difference if some lunatic is inspired to drive on a sidewalk to run down whoever is unfortunate enough to be there with no purpose other than to kill. Or pull a knife or scissor and stab the person next to you because they're not your religion. Or a bomb in at a concert.
But - you're right. When Taliban and al Quida and Da'ach are killed, I've no sympathy for their parents.
When I saw a Kurdish village gassed by Saddam Hussein on TV - I actually cried. There's context. If an equal number were killed in battle - I doubt the effect on me would be the same.
You go on - pretend all acts that have the same result are equal. Everything has a context. Evil is no less evil. Context doesn't need race or religion. Some day you'll figure that out.
Until then, use you flimsy excuse of one tragedy to absolve yourself from feeling anything for another.

Where did they imply that? In fact, that's what he was implying about you.

Not logical in that I did, with the very start of the thread, show empathy.
On the other hand - his call for me to not bother is a strong implication that that is the route he chooses for this event and uses Syria's tragedy as a cover.
E.O.F.

But only for the event in Manchester. That's his point. You did not show empathy for the loss of life that happens daily anywhere else. That's all.

I certainly do not think so.

If you can't do all - then do none. Easy way out. Hell - why doesn't he chastise members who post the endless R I P's for celebrities? Other people die every day. What about them? Same damn arguments apply. Stupid arguments.
Here, couch this Edmund Burke quote to fit this situation:
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

I still can't believe he was saying this. I'm not sure why you are taking it that way.

Yes. I don't give a flying fark if in Sargazzistan people die every day, I do care if people at a stone throw from my home are systematically killed by psycopath with imaginary friends.

...usually is quite ok when you don't want to read every single bit. Today this abosolutely boring snippet of news caught my attention at least three times:
"Google’s Polymer zeroes in on ES6 compatibility, interoperability"
The first time around I really read the caption and dismissed it as boring. After that I just skimmed over it and every time this [^] comes into my mind. Obviously some subprocessor is trying to be a little creative with 'Google Polymer'.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
