"thankfully this wasn't at a fraternity house." i bet no one here has the audacity to say that to anyone those men knew.

The OTHER folks who posted on this thread about insensitivity were stating that the
thread title did not seem appropriate. The THREAD TITLE was the thing they found fault with, not the thread itself. You, on the other hand, are calling people idiots and accusing them of being shallow because they are discussing an underlying Greek issue about the news article instead of focusing solely on the deaths of two young people. Discussing something other than the deaths themselves is not insensitive, and, like I said before, it's a Greek issue and this is a Greek chat board.
You act as if you want a thread dedicated solely to the memories of these two men and have everyone on GC posting to say how sorry they are about their deaths. However, as I mentioned previously, just because someone isn't saying "I'm sorry that these young men died" in this thread doesn't mean that they are being insensitive. I guarantee you that anyone who read that article was deeply saddened by the news. But this isn't a chat board dedicated to talking about young lives lost. If it was, then the main topic of conversation would have been the deaths of the young people in the news article. I'm not trying to be unsympathetic to the family and friends of the men who died by saying this. But you are just completely off point here. You're trying to compare apples to oranges and it can't be done.
