Bad headline, English. But the Amish would forgive you--somehow.

Well, if it was that traumatic (I doubt it happened) why didn't he seek help?

I don't get it either. Most cliches were at least funny at one time... and usually for only one time, but this one just blows. Hard.

DIAF, submitter.

There is nothing funny about what that shooter did to that Amish community. There are 5 innocent children dead as a result of that loser. Christ, the Amish had nothing to do with that guy's problems, yet he took out his frustrastions on them because it was convenient.

Your place in hell is reserved and waiting for you.

I was gonna make a smarmy remark about self-righteousness but then checked your profile. I can understand a lack of humor when things hit - literally - a little close to home.

Headline was absolutely PERFECT, submitter. One of the funniest fark headlines ever.
 
2006-10-04 12:41:38 PM
the only thing worse than a fark cliche is the group of people that cannot stop whining about their overuse.

Yes, we all get it. It's an overused fark cliche.

No, it will never die. Get over it.

For Christ's sake, we're makin fun of dead & dying Amish School children now.

at least the Amish are spared from LOC's sillyness
 
2006-10-04 01:08:41 PM
I'm sorry, but anytime small children are victimized, I cannot find any humor in making jokes involving the victims and/or the perpetrator(s).

And since the shooting happened 15 minutes from my home, my outrage is magnified that people continue to make jokes about the incident.

For the record:
- The gunman was NOT Amish; the victims were.
- His victims had absolutely nothing to do with his problems. He took out his problems on them because it was convenient for him.
- He didn't just burst in and shoot people randomly like you read about in other shootings. He held the children hostage, tied them up, then shot them execution style.
- He then took the easy way out and shot himself.

Actually, it is dorks like you, FLYNAVY, that are being made fun of.

If what Foley did is an issue, then he should have been apprehended long ago. And how many is he accused of harming? Several thousands just like the terrorists?

And the Amish children. Sure, it is horrific, but more kids will die in falls and traffic accidents than in that.

Both of these incidents are all about how most people are tolerant of all sorts of crimes, such as those committed by our president that have harmed hundreds of thousands. As soon as it gets to be really picturesque, though, you go 100% obsessed. Suddenly everything is about the kid raping politico. Then suddenly everything is about a school shooter.

Never mind that the rest of your politicians are corrupt and evil, neven mind that most kids are at constant risk of violence from other kids, just focus on the scary weirdos and nothing else needs to enter the mind.

In my opinion the creeps like FLYNAVY who think these random crimes give them absolute infinite license to scream at others should all be taken out and shot. Learn some statistics or something about your society and then you will realize how far off the 'OMG scary weirdo!!1" routine is.

Try reading Culture of Fear by Barry Glassner some time if you ever care to learn the truth. Too busy focusing on the irrelevant and being manipulated? Off you go then, sheep person.

For fark's sake, people. "Amish school shooter" could be an Amish person who shoots up a school OR a person who shoots up an Amish school.

Beside, the butt of this joke is really Mark Foley, but it tied together because the shooter talked about molesting people a long time ago...just as Mark Foley claimed to have been molested a long time ago. Both are in the news, hence the use in the cliche.

If you want to be pissed, be mad at the cliche itself. That's pretty justified.

The headline is correct, but confusing. Confusing sentences should be rewritten.

Submitter loses 3 points. One for keeping that ridiculous oil price cliche alive, one for referencing Mark Foley and making me go out and buy more mind bleach, and a third for trying to make a horribly tasteless joke about the tragedy that happened to those little girls.

Submitter must now roll a 1000 on a 1000-sided-die or DIAF. Or, even worse, lose his/her ability to post mind-numbingly idiotic crap on Fark.
