[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i have not seen that particular story. Some posts, like the mauling of the two year old in Pgh zoo, have driven compelling conversations...but at the same time, I still believe that many of these posts and their responses are not prompted by the desire for genuine discourse or learning, but by morbid curiosity. And I think it tends to distort our thinking in a harmful way. I'm not 100 percent rigid on "never post a sad story" by any means. I agree that there is gray area. But I do think it's not that hard to decide between a compelling conversation and something that "needs" to be read and rubbernecking or shock tourism.

This is an interesting read.

Does it say on the heading: DCUM forum: for compelling discourse and humanitarian topics? [/quote]

No, but as you can see some thoughtful, intelligent people are attempting to have compelling discourse here.  Go back to cnn.com or babycenter or people.com if you want to be around people like yourself.  [/quote]
