Thanks for putting this into perspective.
I say the same thing when people complain that diabetes is an issue that needs to be addressed. Sure, it's not a good thing, but what about cancer? People with cancer would love to trade it for diabetes. I firmly believe that everyone working on non-cancer research should quit their jobs and work on more meaningful problems.
Also, people working on social apps are wasting their time. Why not work on delivering clean water to third world countries?
And why do people complain about not being able to find jobs here in America? I mean, life isn't that bad, is it? They really should quit whining since there are others in other parts of the world who are dying of starvation.
And isn't it sad that millions of people spend millions of dollars a year on Starbucks coffee? Why don't they instead spend all that money on donating to the homeless? Or donating to the Red Cross?
Anyway, thanks for bringing up this important point. There are so many problems in this world that just aren't worth our time because there's always something much worse out there.

- exhaze 13y agoI'm pretty sure that kyro was being sarcastic.

- adamdavis 13y agoI would agree, although I'd also say there's nothing particularly witty or clever about the one I posted.
- kyro 13y agoAnd it didn't really have a point. Unless your intention was to refute the message of mine through ad-hominem-via-rap-lyrics.
- adamdavis 13y agoI assure you it had a point, and I apologize if it was obscured by way of the quote. The point being that, well, perhaps your point would be better expressed through non-sarcastic means. No ad hominem was intended, it was more of a critique of the general idea of forming rebuttals that consist of sarcastic remarks.
- eruditely 13y agoExcept maybe on the basis of the substance delivered? He makes a fair point sarcasm or not.
