I certainly like how everyone in the thread is absolutely disgusted at the opinion of some posters, calling them disgusting, vile, evil creatures yet in turn go around saying that the people that killed this baby should be tortured to death.
Hypocrisy at it's finest. A most hilarious thread so far.edit on 27-4-2013 by Somehumanbeing because: (no reason given)

Are you saying there are no 'sick' atheists...ever?
Again, stop blaming anything other than the people that committed these crimes.

My God! Look at these comments!
Where is your compassion?
They have hardened your souls. They have rendered you indifferent.
You are cold. Only blackness resides in your heart.
Uncaring and remorseless demons they are making out of you.
If your heart doesn't ache from reading this story..... than you are dead.
Just a ghost walking amongst us.
Where has you ability to LOVE and feel LOVE gone?
Who/What has taken it from you?
No empathy is a trait of the psychopath......

I don't believe it's generational as I'm 28 and would consider myself quite sentimental and compassionate. It's a choice in a lot of ways I think, unless there's some type of psychopathy involved. Perhaps though it's more about how old you are when you're exposed to that type of thing. As I experienced what I believe one would consider a more sheltered upbringing.

No empathy is the trait of the new desensitized generation. People under 30 (myself included, being 25) grew up in a generation where we basically had access to virtual anarchy; aka the internet. Movies and television shows were/are also more extreme than they were in the past decades.
I remember being 13, sitting around with my friend and his brother one night when his parents were gone. We started screwing around on the internet and, without parent safe filters on his computer, came to the realization that the internet was basically a virtual world without boundaries. We stumbled upon some gore sites, watched countless videos of mangled bodies being pulled from car wrecks, we saw the infamous Budd Dwyer video for the first time and cringed in unison as he stuck the .357 in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Needless to say, after our little internet adventure I was thoroughly traumatized and didn't sleep a wink when I got home that night, and I'm pretty sure they didn't either. However, being curious adolescents we kept looking at stuff like this over the next few weeks. It's just the inherent morbid curiosity that plagues the human race. It's in our nature.
Over time I began to notice something. I didn't care anymore. No longer did I feel ill and anxiety-stricken upon encountering the gruesome reality of this newly discovered macabre media. i became numb to it. We saw so much of it that it almost became common, until we eventually got bored of it and went back to doing the things that most normal 13 year olds should be doing, like playing with fireworks and pestering older kids to help us obtain alcohol lol.
The point of my little story being that when most people of this new generation hear about terrible things happening, they most likely aren't indifferent because they are jerks, they're indifferent because they've been exposed to so much of this on a computer/television screen that it doesn't register in their mind as reality. They see some terrible tragedy on the news and recall all the photos of dead bodies and videos of murders or suicides they saw on the internet when they were curious adolescents and think of it as no big deal, because "Ah, it was just a picture. It was just a video."
In some ways I wish I could take back all the things I saw on the internet in my youth, and even some of the movies I rented. It numbed me too much. It blurred the line between the virtual world and the real world. Now when I see a terrible tragedy on the news like a mass shooting it doesn't register any emotion, because to me it's just a television screen that's delivering information to me. I know I'm not the only one who was affected in this way. I've talked to many others who feel the same. It's like we can't be emotionally fazed unless we were actually physically there when it happened. When it's on a computer screen or a television screen it's just data.
Has television and internet calloused this generation?

Where is the focus of attention towards the thought of ANYTHING being an AntiChrist?
This is the perfect example of religious perversion yet nothing?
No denouncement of Christianity or anything?
This baby didn't need to die. But it did because of religion again, yet most will be quick to defend the religion?
