[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][list][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so effing weird. Kneejerk liberal reaction of "billionaires bad >:("

And yet...the people on board the submarine aren't the ones making tasteless jokes about people who are probably dead.

Idk you couldn't pay ME $250k to get on that thing but I also think they're human beings with loved ones. [/quote]

Two opposite things can be true at the same time.  Of course most people feel bad for their terror, death, loss.  And SMDH at the foolhardy, arrogant, wasteful indulgence.

It's like seeing some idiot in a million dollar car driving like a jerk and then having a fender bender.  Wasteful indulgence confirms owner stupidity.

And what is it they say?  Every billionaire is a libertarian until they need a billion dollar search and rescue effort.

I am one of those people who does not think it’s moral to be a billionaire, but that doesn’t mean I want them to die or suffer. I just want them to be like Dolly Parton and do good things with their money. And I don’t think that being really sad about it makes somebody a better person than the ones making Orca jokes. We really don’t need to feel bad for these guys (excepting the teenager). [/quote]

They could be “do[ing] good things with their money” AND also decided to spend 250k to take this trip. It’s not an either/ or. [/quote]

I wasn’t critiquing how people use their money, I was explaining how i feel about billionaires based on PP’s comment about how liberals think billionaires are bad. The fact that I think it’s immoral to be a billionaire (which some liberals believe) doesn’t mean I want them to suffer. It just means that I’m not going to feel really bad about it when they suffer because they have done something really stupid for no good reason. Like if warren buffet died in a fire in his mansion I’d feel bad for him and think jokes about fires were tasteless. Same if your average family died the same way but I’d feel like those joke were morally reprehensible . And I think most people have degrees of sympathy just like me. [/quote]

DP but I don't think a billionaire dying in a house fire is any more or less tragic than a "regular" person dying in a house fire.[/quote]

Than a family??? You don’t? [/quote]
