    Calm down.

    You should look up what ‘platitudes’ mean then come back.

    If “don’t kill innocent people” is too complicated, then maybe it’s a you problem, not a world problem.

    I think you need to brush up on your reading comprehension.

      You don’t offer anything to comprehend. All your comments in this thread boil down to “it’s too complicated, better to do nothing”.

      And that is lazy or stupid or downright evil, but not the “aloof” take you might think it is. It’s intellectual capitulation.

        Alright man, you clearly don’t understand English very well so I’m gonna make the executive decision and block you.

          Ironically, that’s exactly your response to this situation: ignore the problem and blame everyone else.
