The original commenter stated that these two people would be fun to watch fight to the death.
Said about two white people or two blacks or two people in general you know it's a superfluous comment that does not add anything to the discussion.
Your parent poster is entirely right. Comments such as these drag the quality of the comments section here at hacker news down.
If you don't believe you should glorify a criminal or a rapper than you should say that and leave it at that. If you think that it is wrong to try to understand the mind set of a man who learned to read behind bars and read so many law books he found a hole in the law which allowed him to become a free man again you should tell us why there is nothing inspirational, interesting, or glorifying about this mans life.
Saying that two people would be fun to watch fight to the death, no matter how sarcastic, adds nothing and is superfluous.
- o0-0o 13y agoI think you read my comment and responded w/o re-reading it, and not to mince words I chose the word 'might' carefully. Might and would are on the opposite side of logic. Therefore, I reject the premise of your comment on basic levels. I do concur with your conclusion that it is a sarcastic comment, however you likely don't need to point that out here.
