I think it's actually helpful for this community to participate in threads that we can agree on. That's my opinion, but I can't see a down side to 99% partisan opposition being flavored with 1% agreement being bad.
Just to be clear, are you talking about remorse by the public (those who even pay attention) or by the ones committing the attack? Regardless, if anyone lacks remorse over them, then that person is garbage.
Finally, I don't know why we have some thread topics and not others. I would imagine that people are too burnt out on trolls/idiots to post as much as they used to. The liberal side here is poisoned by idiots who think they've gained superior intelligence through simply being a part of that side of the isle, and the conservative side has too many brietbart clones drowning out independent thought.
How can people expect discourse when theu have to speak over echobots and lolwuts (not the member lolwut).
