Why do you think certain kinds of people feel it necessary to capitalize on tragedies such as VT in order leap up on a soapbox and air their socio-political views that sometimes are barely even related to the tragedy?
Debate is one thing but these types seem less interest in debate and more interest in promoting their socio-political views.
Already we've seen close to a dozen posts about the worth of American lives as opposed to others (even though international students were victims as well). I've seen this type of comment over and over after 911 and Katrina. This is nothing new or thought-provoking and yet these comments get thrown out time and time again.
Also people are using VT to launch into tirades about Iraq, America, South Korea, racism, guns, liberals-conservatives, etc...
Why? Is it just for the sick fun of verbally assaulting people when they're vulnerable? Is it just for the attention they'll get?
