I am trying to understand, but am failing to do so..

Inhuman

What is wrong with these humans? Has every shred of humaneness left their soul? How did life become so meaningless to them? Even if you are hungry, oppressed, how can cruelty and disdain be procured?

I have banned myself from CNN.com

I am not ignoring it...How in the hell can you ignore it, when it is primarily what is shown and written.

Thanks for the tip sage.

Never underestimate the ability of the human mind to disocciate

Situations like this is where "Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" takes on a whole new meaning.

In that case, you sure as hell don't want to read about what's happening in Africa.

Mob mentality?

It isn't inhuman, it is HUMAN. Humans have the ability to show great compassion, but with that ability also comes the ability to show great cruelty. This is why I cannot understand people that think we live in some fantasy land where they could never be harmed or hurt by someone.
If you don't think this can happen where you live, you are very wrong. You call the people who did these atrocities, monsters and evil men, but before they ever did this, they were ordinary men. It just takes something to push humans back into their savage past, be it poverty, rage or hate due to the actions of others. It's different for everyone, but everyone has a part of them deep down that is as cruel as Hitler, it just takes something to awaken it.

The US could stop the situation in Darfur but then the entire world would start crying and calling us the world police and tell us to stop interfering.

so instead of saving the victims, your solution is to kill them all?

i agree, IF i was the victim. but that's like shooting a drowning man so that he doesnt suffer just because it is easier to do so than to dive in and try to save him

Thats a job for the UN but russia and other big players are cockblocking the vote to put un troops there.

It's simple, really. If you mess people up badly enough, they're not going to procreate, and you will have less competition for a mate. Your children will inherit your penchant for cruelty and the people you victimize will be dead branches on the family tree. Thus, the cycle of cruelty will continue and worsen over time unless some third group of people intervene.

That's what they teach in anthropology... except you can't be "too" understanding. Otherwise you end up with a moral fallacy like in this situation.


P.S.: (sarcasm meter working perfectly).
