Thread: I come from the babystabber-country

Maybe it's not just so mass-hysteria. There's obviously that fad-like aspect, but perhaps the emotion stems from something more psychological?

The innocence and powerlessness of people becomes apparent when things like this happen, it feels wrong to have happened, and there's so much fear of it happening to you.

It's easier to find solace in expressing these things - making groups is just one way, crying is obviously another.

That you seem to be so strongly against the following of the supposed hype, then maybe it has affected you in a different way. Regardless, persecuting people by implying they're mostly following the mass-hype, is destructive in it's prejudice and looks to be just another venting method, similar to say creating a group on facebook, or crying.

I agree with this.

OP:
It seems you've taken some pretty mild, understandable and not-all-together "excessive" reactions that people have to an obviously tragic story - with such a sensitive subject matter (babies) - and decided to look down upon them for it. Why? There are people who are more or less emotional than you are, and they will react in different ways than you do. Does this mean they are over-reacting, or that you're under-reacting? The answer would be relative.

Being the father of an 8 year old little girl, I feel a tug at my heart whenever I hear about stuff like this, and I would be the first to commend anyone who decided to actively show their support to those closest to the victims. I would have to say that your outrage at their empathy seems, itself, trivial and actually makes you look worse than those people you're talking about.

Now, that's not to say that there aren't people who jump on the support-wagon, for more shallow "Fad" reasons, but who can actually look at a number of people reacting the same way, and tell who is truly sincere and who is just "following the flock"? If you want to find disgust in something, aim at at those people who care so little about their fellow man that they just don't give a shit about the incident at all.

Just my two cents.

That is why your country needs knife legislation. Knives keep killing people.

What we need is a knife registration system, and a 3 day cool off period for purchasing knives, especially serrated knives. In fact, all serrated knives should be banned.

Yeah, it's not like you need them for hunting. Make it where only the psychopaths have them.

I haven't heard about this story but...I assume his goal was to kill the babies right?

How in the hell do you stab seven babies but only two of them die?

Did you know that if you cut off the tip of a baby's finger, it will grow back?

I don't see how that is relevant.

It is relevant if he stabbed their fingers, sir.

If he ran in there to stab the finger tips of five babies, he's twice as crazy as I thought.

And this is why we must keep knives out of the hands of people.

Heh.

He's obviously a failure of a mass murderer

I have a feeling that guy would fair poorly in the "how many 5 year olds could you take" game. Or whatever it is called.

Yeah, it's like there aren't any other sharp object except knives. You can't pull them out of shops. That's retarded!

lul, obviously you can. Not only could we ban knives, we could ban scissors as well and just teach our children to do the old fold-n-lick routine.

What makes this even worse is he had 2 more nurserys he was going to visit. While people in jail are skum, they REALLY!!!!! hate this kind of stuff, even if they are derranged. This guys life is over, he will be killed slowly, and by killed slowly i mean they are going to torture him for a while, and slowly so he feels asmuch pain as possible.

I remember hearing Jeffry Dahmer didn't have a very pleasant experience in Prison, until finally somebody shanked his ass.
