"But surely people dying of starvation is a self solving problem? I mean sooner or later the problem goes away.
Then you still have shiny rockets and more food."
This is the response, visible for all to see to my statement about how nations should direct their resources to helping their people, not only in game but in RL where I cited India as an example and condemned them for spending on a space program while millions suffer.
As a result of this I call upon the membership of 10KI to formally strip Cerberion of any titles or awards and that he be formally warned for his attitudes. Whether it was sick humour or his actual position it was both offensive and tasteless, and I urge all to join me in condemming such an appaulling attitude.
I must say that I am disheartened by this, I thought that the people here were decent folk who were intelligent enough to know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, clearly in this case I was wrong and I call for you to join me in this condemnation here in the ten thousand islands. In game is one thing, RL is something completely different and we must make this crystal clear to all, for the integrity and decency of 10KI to be protected and upheld or it makes mockery of our recent commendation.

It is a preposterous misuse of resources that should be directed to protecting the soveriegn nations peoples from starvation etc. This is as appauling as RL India having an ongoing space program when millions are homeless and dying. BOO HISS!

Looks to me Cerberion was just joking. Missed out a tougue smiley maybe. People joke on RMB all the time, there is no need to get upset like that.

Well, that's just the thing isn't it. He claims it as a joke, but if it was a joke it was in VERY VERY poor taste. I have, as I have shown recently a sense of humour of my own but when you are addressing a RL issue of very high significance I put to you that it is VERY important that if a person is going to take the p out of it that they do so in a way that makes it clear to others that it is a joke, all be it a SICK one.
As I stated, this is EXACTLY WHY our world is so F*kd up today, because people of all ages seem to think that the suffering of millions is a reason for F*g humour when it quite clearly is not, and that this is acceptable to you is a damning endictment on each you. I will be reviewing my presence here very seriously over the coming days and will be utterly silent during that time so don't be surprised if your vitriolic condemnations of my justifiable sensitivity go unanswered,
You call that joke sick? I've seen worse jokes! Cerb is a valuable member of our big XKI family. He can't get banned just for something like that. Plus, the joke was kinda witty in a way.

I was surprised to even see this when I came into the forum.
He ended up leaving, so everything is good now. He has no idea what satirical humor is.. he would of hated being in Ireland when it was a big thing. Damn those Lilliputians, and Gulliver's Travels!

He needs to get off the internet. Heck, for that matter, he needs to go live in a box if he's going to be that morally superior. Life will never cease to outrage him.
