Meanwhile, Kiev is under siege by a REAL threat, and children in Africa are starving.
Every single one of these "demonstrators" seeking to prevent people from working, harassing them, and destroying their personal property needs to seriously rethink their priorities in life.
- beering 13y agoBy your logic, you should be in Africa RIGHT NOW distributing food to children instead of whining on HN. So, why are you waiting to book your tickets? Aren't you thinking about your priorities in life? That something bad is happening somewhere else in the world doesn't mean you can't spend effort on something close to you.
- leothekim 13y agoIt's more about perspective, not priorities. For example. I think the citizens of Detroit would probably kill to have the sort of problems that San Francisco currently has. Low unemployment, high rents/real estate prices (yes, these suck, but so does miles of blighted and unmaintained housing and a bankrupt city government) and a youthful and thriving industry would make San Francisco the envy of a lot of cities.

- bovermyer 13y agoFair enough. Would it be better to say, then, that these demonstrators are just misanthropic?
