The satirical jokes in this thread actually come from a more honest place than that fake concern! Of course most of you don't even realise that it's fake. You fully believe you're experiencing genuine concern - but you're not. The people telling what you see as crass jokes, are actually just not buying into that bs fraudulent empathy! Or maybe we're just uncaring monsters! (Whatever helps you feel better about your Fakeness)

Plus they have drivers/pilots. Rollercoasters are automated. Going however many feet into the air and getting thrown around by an automated machine? I'll take my chances with the car or plane.

aaronjumper wrote: » You made the original reference to cars and planes I was only adding to that. They have practical uses, this is people putting themselves in danger for a bit of fun. That's fair enough.
RedemptionZ wrote: » I believe the general thinking in comedy is that nothing is above being made fun of, it's the timing of the joke that's important. This is clearly not the time. Terrible to hear, went in this myself a few years ago and big rollercoaster fanatic so it's scary to hear.
PM me nudes wrote: » Danger? FFS. You can find danger in anything. Going to the shop? Might get knocked down. Going for a swim? Might get eaten by a shark. Rollercoasters are very safe. Incidents are very rare. You're not putting yourself in any heightened danger by getting in one... Media blowing everything out of proportion and influencing the weak minded as usual.
ThinkProgress wrote: » The only reason a roller coaster is fun or appealing is because there is an element of danger. A very small risk that something like this might happen. Probably 1/1000 odds or something crazy like that. Take that small % chance of serious injury away and it loses it's appeal. But when this happens everyone blames the creators. Like nobody needed or asked for roller coasters! Now roller coasters are evil contraptions. lol Someone will get sued for a huge quantity of money. Even though everyone knows that there is a small % risk of this happening! I would go on a roller coaster right now if I could. Not because I'm super brave, but because I know the odds of that occurring again are VERY small.

PM me nudes wrote: » I don't crave internet recognition. Your point on the timing of the joke was ludicrous. I'm hardly going to make a joke a week later when people have completely forgotten about the whole event.
PM me nudes wrote: » I'm all for equality. It's the attention seekers that never make up their own minds or formulate their own opinions that follow the crowd and then seek some form if recognition that get me . These are the same people that will have completely forgotten about the whole referendum in a matter of days and move onto something else.
RedemptionZ wrote: » Why did you make the joke then? For recognition from all your internet pals so they can see how hilarious you are. If you can tell me another reason you posted it I'm all ears. You also ignored my question so I'll say it again, would you say the joke if you thought family members of the victims were reading?
