stuff happens

I get offended about what seems to be the casual/off hand response to human suffering as in the comments such as "stuff happens" and "get over it". Stuff doesn't just happen in Iraq or the Middle East elsewhere and anywhere else for that matter. I imagine Hitler and Goring and Stalin probably thought like that. I imagine Hitler's response to the holocaust would have been "stuff happens." I imagine the attitude of most of the brutes would have been "get over it and get a life". That is what I was trying to say in the other blog about "get a life - what does that mean." What it means is that such an attitude is gung ho - except when the author of the attitude is involved. Then it is a different matter. Tell a rape victim "get over it - stuff happens". Tell a family of a hit and run "get over it - stuff happens." Tell that to the victims of any of the shonks on the current affairs programmes exposees. Tell that to the war and invasion victims who end up with dead family and bombed out houses. No, stuff doesn't just happen. No, people don't just get over it and get a life. I hope no-one ever has to tell the commenter that "stuff happens - get a life - get over it."
