Jibber, your right.

The remark Fenix made was funny though.

So what exactly are you trying to get across with that statement? If it were someone you knew you sure as hell wouldn't be laughing and calling her special. Have some decency for fuck's sake. An 18 year old girl was killed, her family and friend's have to deal with it now and somehow get on with their lives and you're laughing at her and calling her special?

Lighten up. I am sick of everybody on this forum acting like they are some kind of humanitarian. Do you want a Nobel Peace Prize jibber?

So you're sick of people having a conscience? I'm failing to see exactly why it's so wrong of me to feel sorry for a young girl who was killed.

haha, "losing sleep over it"? Well, seeing as how it's 6:23 PM here, no, no I'm not. I just don't find it funny, in the least, and I think it's pretty sick that you're actually laughing over the fact that an actual human being was killed. I don't care how ironic the situation is, if you find a story about someone getting killed funny, there's something wrong with you.

Maybe there is something wrong with me.
It is ironic, irony is humorous.

yep, definitely something wrong with you if you find this situation funny. If you're not able to feel sympathy for other people, it's definitely a sign that something's wrong with you.

IRONY IS HUMOROUS

Another situation I find funny, is the fact that the man who lived his whole life with grizzly bears, the man who said that he was accepted by the bears, and that they treated him like family, was mauled to death by a bear.

I cant help it, it's funny.
