    Did you know that about 2,000,000 Africans die of starvation each year? This game has been out since like 2001. This means that 18,000,000 people have died of starvation and we've been playing FFXI this whole time. Isn't someone starving to death more important than FFXI? Don't you feel a bit guilty talking about an earthquake when 6,000 Africans die every single day of starvation?

    Don't you feel guilty for doing anything other than starving to death or talking about starving to death every day?

    I don't know, that seems like a lot, where's their replacement 2,000,000 coming from?

    True, some of us are misenthropes and welcome the reduction in the populous.

    More like none of us are capable of truly caring about that many people. Dunbar's number, etc. You may think it's sad that so many people die every day over things we could easily prevent, but their deaths don't really register as anything more than a statistic.

    And of course. How could you possibly care about every single person? Not only would you be miserable, you would have no time for yourself, because you'd be too busy trying to help billions of people that you can't actually help.
