Part of me...

[Halo]

...wants to talk about everything that's been happening internationally recently. The other part is dreading seeing the state Off-Topic must be in right now. What do I do? D:

Hide... run... hide... and never come back.

Talk here?

Spam tends to me a lot more chill in these kinds of discussions than OT.

There's nothing funny about 300 people being shot down over Ukraine.

You're contradicting yourself, I feel the need to point out.

pit wasn't trying to imply that it was funny, just that convos here would be more funny/lighthearted. I don't know if he even realized the implication.

If we're going to give newer members a hard time, let's do it for actual things.

Then talk. Spam is cool with this sort of stuff. Even if it involves hundreds of dead people and high political tension.

Especially so.

Was just preemptively making sure nobody would try to be funny about MH17.

I'm pretty sure someone already attempted it in the thread...

I feel the need to stress this point.

That said, Halo, what's on your mind? Did you have any instance in particular that you wanted to talk about, or were you just wanting to comment on the general craziness that is international politics lately?

I can't even look at the news these days. I got literally ill after watching too much of the MH17 coverage the other day. People from all around the world are dead- either senselessly shot down from the sky, or blown to bits in Gaza, or swept away by typhoons.

As Lucian's signature states.... "I am tired of Earth."

Would you please just use a period once and awhile. Commit, damnit.

It is the same as it ever was. Russia seems determined to be on a collision course with the West again. Israel/Palestine, nothing new there, still the same awful bloody mess. I don't think being tired of Earth is correct, it's being tired of how people treat their fellow man because of small differences.
