I really dislike this kind of logic. Just because a greater problem exists, does not mean nobody should be allowed to focus on anything else. Should I not be allowed to volunteer or donate money to Hurricate Sandy relief efforts in the NYC area because more people die of cancer?
- ekianjo 14y agoNo, this means that you should be worried about the Cancer that is killing you (sovereign debt raising by hundred of billions every year) instead of the rash on your skin (a few millions X company did not pay over a year). It's all a matter of priorities, and proportions. And the media (usually state-controlled, at least partly) certainly want you to see the "skin rash" rather than their own mistakes, because you should be way more angry by how lax they are with YOUR money in the first place.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoIf I had cancer I'd still get a skin rash sorted out (and I don't think that's just a problem with your metaphor). Sorting out the government debt needs to happen but the 600-odd MPs and hundreds of thousands of civil servants employed by the UK government may well be capable of dealing with as many as two things.
