    I don’t get this “it could have been worse” mentality. Somebody dies of cancer we don’t say “well at least they weren’t waterboarded and gang raped! Lucky them!”

      You don’t understand how a quick death is better than a lifetime of torture and an eventual slow death?

      It’s not like there is a pack of gang-raping waterboarding guys waiting outside the cancer wards waiting to waterboard and gang rape all the cancer survivors. If there were, there might be a few who don’t fight cancer as hard.

      Have you never heard the phrase “died peacefully in his sleep” or “at least it was quick”?

        Meat grinder is not equal to dying peacefully in one’s sleep. A bullet to the head is also quick but we don’t celebrate muggings turned homicide. It’s not that I don’t get the point being made it’s that it’s a weird fucking point to make
