Does that mean that the writer is COMPARING the death of Bob Smith's wife with his house burning down?
My sweet Lord, some people are freaking stupid!
“My sweet Lord, some people are freaking stupid!”
No argument here.
There’s a subset of people here that have the view that when people lose a loved pet there should not be any kind of talking about it as losing a person. They are the kind that complain about posters who post animal abuse cases and say ‘focus on the people abuse stories instead’. Like we cannot do both. Like it devalues peoples’ problems by focusing on animals. Both are examples of the same flawed human condition. But express any sympathy for animals or those that have lost them, and we’re somehow taking finite sympathy resources away from people.
