> Celebrating someone's death means you would have killed them yourself if there was no consequence, am I wrong in saying that? Yes, I think that you're wrong

> Celebrating someone's death means you would have killed them yourself if there was no consequence, am I wrong in saying that? Yes, I think that you're wrong -- I do find some of the memes amusing, but I'm not celebrating a person's demise. I find humor in the absurdity of it all. Most, but not all, of the memes that I've seen have been making fun of the sub itself and not the passengers. Yes, I find a photo of a ps2 controller attached to a propane tank amusing, but that's about the sub and not the passengers. HN is a a bubble, and the people here live in a different world than a lot of the rest of the world. On the same page, the ultra wealthy live on a different plane entirely. Surely you can see how a person struggling to make ends meet might laugh at the short-sightedness of a person willing to spend as much as they earn in years on a deadly weekend excursion?

> Surely you can see how a person struggling to make ends meet might laugh at the short-sightedness of a person willing to spend as much as they earn in years on a deadly weekend excursion? No. That is hypocrisy. I guarantee 99% of people if they had the same amount of money they would something adveturous. Maybe a balloon trip in the alps, a visit to antarctica, sailing the pacific whatever. And if an accident befell them they wouldn't want people to treat their memory and their loved ones who are survived by them this way. Honestly, I look at shit like this and I absolutley do not want to help anyone in need in this society at all except maybe children. The people who are not scammers pretending to need help are hateful and bitter. Well good luck, you earned your position life by hating on others simply because they are not helping you because they can. Don't get me wrong, I get the sentiment that if it was I, I would give a lot more and help people but the idea that simply because you have lawfully earned money you owe people shit? How ridiculous! That is theft! These people want to steal money that isn't theirs simply because they are many and that person is one and they can take that money that does not belong to them. And why exactly should a bunch of theif-at-hearts be helped? I don't hear any starving third world kids demand americans "struggling" with obesity owe them food. Even post-colonial countries at most demand debt forgiveness not an outright transfer of wealth.

  Well this is certainly a passionate response, bordering on off-topic. My comment was about laughing at those with more money than common sense, and you've rambled on about people trying to steal your money. > No. That is hypocrisy. I guarantee 99% of people if they had the same amount of money they would something adveturous. Maybe a balloon trip in the alps, a visit to antarctica, sailing the pacific whatever. Yes. This is why lottery winners, famously, go on arctic expeditions and other risky endeavors. > Don't get me wrong, I get the sentiment that if it was I, I would give a lot more and help people but the idea that simply because you have lawfully earned money you owe people shit? How ridiculous! That is theft! I never suggested anything about this, and I'm not sure why you're bringing it up. With that being said, are you sure that it was lawfully gained? I've personally earned a lot through the stock market and part of that was definitely facilitated through both wage theft and slave labor. I don't directly see that, of course, but pretending that it doesn't exist is foolish.
