    Ugh. That story has a nastier potential (..what if it wasn't "sold"..)
    :(

    And you do? how can you sleep at night, what with all thw awful things happening around the world, the child drug addicts in rio, the underage prostitutes on the the streets of ecudor.

    This is just another tear jerker of a thread by Endurance man, following the same structure, a shock link, and a throwback comment about 'getting the scumbags'

    boards.ie's equivelent of Bart's people.

    I wonder, if it was an 11 year old girl who lived in the same street as you, would you care then...

    Of course i would, i would also get upset if someone on my 'street' was gunned down by a a drive-by.

    Just because something like that happens in another country and culture doesn't transform into it becoming a problem here.

    Endurance Man, have to agree with bazH here, just how is this relevant to us here?

    Tragedy happens everywhere everyday, but on an Irish board, if this happened in Lucan or Limerick it would be something to discuss within our frame of reference.

    TBH this is just another news story, should we start a new thread everytime some dies unfairly in the world ? dont think afterhours is the place tbh.

    I could never imagine anyone having such a lack of common sense as to sell cocaine to an 11 year old. That is immoral by any standards.

    A bit of sympathy wouldn't go astray.

    If I hear that someone is raped and murdered on the news, be it in the US or Ireland, I'll feel a bit bad for about a minute, but then I'll forget about it because it happens all too often.

    Nobody's asking for you to see this girl's death as a "problem" that should deeply affect you, but a bit recognition of what happened is only decent.

    Obviously he would...chances are that if it was someone in his street he'd know them/their family/friends etc.
    This is some random stranger in a foreign country....people, including children, die in their thousands every day around the planet...a drug angle is always a good headline maker though.

    Sounds like the Bangbus was in town...:v:
    Okay, so that was a bit tasteless...

    It was put up to try and start a constructive conversation/debate, does it really matter where the story came from? I was just a little shocked by it so thought i would share, oh well....

    He most def wouldn't, look at the thread on Mr. Nally, seems he isn't the slightest bit violent or looks for revenge in fairness.

    Kinda off-topic but: There was a kid sniffing petrol at the back of the 39 bus the other day.. he can't have been older than 12. The smell of it was making me light-headed.:p He started whistling and asking everyone if they could see the fish. He said there was a cartoon fish swimming in his bottle of coke and he wanted to know what it's name was. Kinda funny but sad at the same time.:confused:

    I once saw a girl no more than 12 years old out of her face on something heavy walking in a daze up grafton street once. She was wearing filthy clothes and had huge rings under her eyes.

    Why should we have sympathy for drug users? What they are doing is against the law and they dont deserve any sympathy.

    Because she's eleven years old. She probably doesn't realise the full extent of the harm drugs can do to you. If it were a middle-aged man or woman I'd feel the exact same as you, but this is just a little girl.

    I'm sorry, and don't get me wrong, I'm sympethetic, but what kind of 11 year old idiot would get into a minivan with middleage men? She was young, yeah, but wouldn't the whole scenario look a bit suspicious to her? I wonder if they lured her in by offering sweets....

    Some kids are gullible or naive. Sad.
