I feel that the entire 'it's a person therefore it's tragic' mindset is what's allowing so much evil into the world but that's another topic entirely. Sympathizers probably think they are strong for the stances they take on various subjects but in reality they are weak and are to blame for the state society is in.

Nobody's forcing you to care, if you have no interest in the topic in discussion... However your initial insensitive glib remark was both unwarranted and unnecessary.
I find your opinion almost inhumane if I'm honest, cherie raising the issue of the mousetrap was totally valid here, in fact you maybe didn't intend it but the feeling I get at times is that immigrants are seen as below invasive rats in the country.
The language you've used in your post highlighted prompted my view on this.
