*sigh*

There was a post on Salon about how the Norwegian bomb attacks are beign reported while other such attacks in other, less white parts of the world go unreported, and on military actions Norway may have undertaken which could have provoked this attack.

It's a fair point.

But seriously, couldn't you have waited a few fucking days before writing something so insensitive? People died today and we're still counting the wounded. Is it too much to ask for a day or two's respite? It come across as pretty nasty bastardry to point out this sort of stuff less that 24 hours after it happened.

I'm pretty much resigned to people being shitty when something terrible happens. :( Wherever there's tragedy, SOMEBODY is going to step on the back of it to make a point. It's like, a fundamental law of the universe or something.
