Letting children starve is a marker for the end of civilization as I define it.

Did you watch the movie ? The children deliberately chose to live on their own while they could have returned to their aunt - who, despite treating them unfairly, was still feeding them.

This remark is so brutally inhumane, so utterly disregarding of human behaviour and lacking in any sympathy or feeling for the most vulnerable that I wish Hacker News had a "block user" button.

Maybe I can use custom CSS.
