11. Is that how you think of people ... as "ghouls"?

What a morbid and unjust term to apply to people who might have a different opinion.

My opinion differs on the tired plaint I see here all the time, which defends one crime by decrying the lack of punishment for a different, unrelated crime. It's childish--like complaining to Mom how unfair it is that you had to go to your room for using bad language when brother Bobby didn't get a punishment, and he told a lie! The "look, over there" ploy is not a good tactic to take when making a judgment on a case.
