Anyone marking me down who doesn't have friends and family in a disaster area, can go die in a fire.

  That's so completely besides the point that I feel I should be sending a quote with context to somebody compiling a rhetoritician's dictionary. Let me help you, since you are being so pointedly blind to your own offensiveness. (Which only hurts your ability to be pithy and forceful, by the way.) This is a conversation about tax breaks and municipalities, in this case, the subjects involve SF and some startups. This particular thread was an aside about Australia, because of the name "Brisbane". You derailed it into a micro-rant about a recent tragedy, and then threw in an even less relevant slam on the US. I'm not the most popular person here on HN. I've gotten into it with Justin of Justin.tv before because I was calling out some of the more offensive startup hysteria/bullshit. You are something else entirely. You're not an iconoclast. You are the 25 year old whose parents died when he was 2 y/o and won't shut up about it at the bar. Have yourself a coke, a smile, and shut the fuck up.
