  1. Re:The adults of this civilization on Man Pleads Guilty To Swatting Attack That Led To Death of Kansas Man (arstechnica.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    I can put my finger on it. It's the idea that one event can have more than one cause. Americans are generally unable to grasp that concept.

    Oh no, they can grasp that. What they can't grasp is that anything could be their fault.

    all the swat teams fault.

    They are the ones that pulled the trigger. I doubt that they will be looked at though. No doubt they wouldn't have been there if this guy hadn't called but you've got to look at the situation when they can be called and basically have a shoot first and ask questions later policy.

    just made it very clear to the children of this civilization: DON'T SWAT PEOPLE

    That is all.

    And this particular adult made it clear to the children that they won't ever learn anything. DON'T MURDER, RAPE OR ROB PEOPLE either but those are still abundant so what're you gonna do?

    If some twat with more money than sense can come along, think it looks pretty, or interesting, or they just don't get what it is but think someone else might and then declare it "art" then yeah. If a dirty urinal or dripping tap or whatever else literal rubbish can be art then all bets are off.

    I also believe strongly that most jobs are simply not worth paying a proper salary for

    If you don't think a job is worth paying a proper salary for how do you expect to get anyone to do it? Lots of jobs don't bring in profit. Cleaners for example. I bet they're one of the jobs you don't deem worthy of a proper salary yet you probably expect someone to spend 40+ hours per week doing it for you. A full time job, regardless of what its doing should pay at least the bare minimum required to get by and it definitely should not be subsidised by government. If you want your lobby clean you'll fucking pay for it and you'll pay properly or you can just fuck right off.

    The crux of the issue is lot of human activities is doing totally irrelevant/unneeded things. Like counting number of sand grains or building 100m meter statues for some human
