MH17.... Options

[Gazzadp]

I saw the following doing the rounds on facebook this afternoon, sadly I am not ashamed to say that it made me chuckle (if only a little)...

"The yanks are blaming the pro Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine for the shooting down of that plane. The Russians are blaming the pro western factions. After reading all the available facts & intelligence David Cameron and Nick Clegg are blaming the last Labour Government."

[x2lls]

The OP had absolutely no laugh at the victims. As stated, the chuckle was aimed at the political crud that surrounds it.

So stop getting on your high and mighty moral high ground and read before you type!

Exactly

Exactly

Exactly what? Start going on about reading before posting, I'd suggest some might think before posting. No-one was getting on a moral high horse. People just objected to what many people would have thought of as an unfunny comment.

'It probably wouldn't sound so funny to you if your children were on the plane.'

Correct, but as MM stated, they weren't though were they?. 'Exactly'!
And if they were, do you think I'd be looking at a little forum such as this one?


And yes, there is a moral high ground attitude on this thread.

This is a public forum and to that end people should be respectful of that.

And yes, there is a moral high ground attitude on this thread.

So it is fair game to be the subject of a joke because in your eyes, it has nothing to do with you? That is crass. This has nothing to do with moral high ground, just common decency.

In my view the 'joke' is inappropriate and deserves to be criticised accordingly, but I stop short of censorship. I'd leave it as an epitaph to the ignorant.
