So mr BBC, your lead line in the first quote says death by Syrian authorities.
You then say there's a good chance it may have been secret services. Cough CIAMI6SAD cough.
So you hold Assad accountable for the apparent 'rebellion'?
And you mention the secret squirrels half way down the page, when you know most folk will only read the lead line...?
Despicable as ever.

Another innocent goes to their grave in the battle of globalization and another death gets twisted by the BBC to bolster support for it.

I note with the usual amount of disgust, that today whilst mr Khan is buried, the bbc have chosen to drop any mention of the secret squirrels. Now they only mention the uk gov line, that the syrian authorities murdered him...

Wankers.

seeing as how I never heard of this gentleman before his death I fail to see the relevance. just another death in a war zone.

Sorry for your loss

S'ok lw, you don't need to make posts like that, you've already made it clear elsewhere...... that you're indifferent to anything beyond what affects you.
Or should I say, you've already made it clear that yer a bit bloomin dumb?

Why do I say dumb? Because you can't see that you are affected by stories like this. So even by your empathy lacking standards, you are indulging in dumb thinking.

how can I feel sorry for someone I never knew or had never heard of until a couple of days ago???

If you are questioning the depth of sincerity of your own reaction, that is to be commended. If you are suggesting that one cannot feel genuinely sorry for someone they never knew personally, then you may have a lack of empathy.

I am not able to feel sorry for everybody that is killed. But I am able to feel sorry for some people that I have never known personally. I think the difference largely depends on me and my state of mind.

You heard it here folks. Tiz ok to murder people and its ok to use their deaths for propaganda purposes.



As long as lw doesn't know them

lets put it this way, if someone leaves this country and goes to another country where there is a violent civil war going on, no matter how noble their principles are, there is the teeny weenie chance that they might just get killed, that is the chance they take. I had never heard of the good doctor before a couple of days ago by which time HE WAS ALREADY DEAD.

Put it however you want
The total lack of empathy, awareness, compassion, political savvy and plain old nouse, ring loud and clear through whatever words you use.

fine, put it anyway you like, WTF has it got to do with me? this country has turned into a molly coddled, addle brained, materialistic, weepy weepy,"lets pretend we give a shit so we can get our faces on the TV" load of old flannel. I just don't understand anyone crying and going on about the death of someone they never knew or even heard of.

Carry on thinking you're an isolated system. Although i'll just warn you that if you do, entropy may lead you to ultimately suffer heat death.

No, it has, if anything, become more cynical, hard hearted and cold which has been the trend since the 80s. Cuts for old folks, the disabled, ATOS, Ian Duncan Smith, food banks, euthanasia, etcetera.

Really?

Never felt a physical pang when you see or hear of suffering?

Well, if not, I am not about to judge you.

Just don't expect people who do feel that reaction to agree with you, when you tell them that they are "pretending".

Just cos some people pretend does not mean everyone does.

As it goes, the understood ratio to the empathic to non-empathic is 99 to 1.

If you've got a swinging brick where a heart might be, then that's okay.

this all started with the death of Princess Di....now everyone is getting in on the act!
