Are People Just Immune to Evil?
16 years ago
Let me tell you a story. Picture it, four days ago...
Someone we thought was a friend of ours recruited some of his buddies and his underage girlfriend for a special mission. Their mission, which they didn't need to choose to accept, was simple; troll everyone on a certain forum because they hate them. So for the next four days, all kinds of offensive tripe and crap where posted on the forum's chat box and on some posts, and it only ended when we finally blocked and banned them from other forums.
But that's not the important thing. The important thing is some of their other buddies who didnt' participate had nothing to say about it, and even thought it was funny!
What they did was a clearly evil act. What could be more evil than hurting other people like that? Yet some people thought it was ok. Are people just immune to evil? Have we lost all our morals? Do our fellow human beings mean nothing to us now? Apparently so.
Anyone else think this is horrible?

Nah, it's just that some people are assholes. Not the end of the world; you just shake your head ruefully and move on...
