Again, I was making a general comment (true in the middle of the thread) about people who do NOT want to talk about it.  I didn't quote anyone here or accuse anyone here.  Just a statement on my amusement at such people.  Perhaps I could have started a fresh thread about that, but I didn't see a need for that.



I get your point.  But to add to that if it was my friend's father I might talk about such things with other people and then him later.  Just talking about it doesn't mean we have to talk to the actual victims or even that we don't care about them and their feelings.  It's just human nature (to me) to talk about things when they happen.

Here's the thing: the only people that NEED to talk about it in terms of stopping the "problem" are those in authority. Sure, we the masses can talk about it and even help in finding the solution, but if someone not in authority is tired of the rhetoric and doesn't want to talk about it, so what?
