The U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday a remote operated vehicle (ROV) discovered a "debris field" near the Titanic wreckage site where a submersible went missing.
The 19 year old everyone is so sad about, his father is very high up in the leadership of the largest company in Pakistan. Most people here seem to have no clue about how impoverish countries work, but for one person/family to accumulate so much wealth when the people of that country are very poor mean they are exploiting the people and the resources of the country for their own gain.
I don’t think people would be so upset about the young adult if this was a child from the Sachmans, or the Waltons.
If we’re gonna gatekeep the rationale of feeling conflicted over a young person’s death because they’ve crossed a benchmark where they’re supposed to be aware that the environment they’re a product of is exploitative and reject that, I think that benchmark should be older than 19. When I was 19 I was a fucking idiot
Once you are 18, you are expected to be able to take care of yourself to some degree and think for yourself. And as he comes from a very rich family, I find it hard to believe that he isn’t educated in a good school (non secondary). Should we also raise the voting age everywhere as well if all 19 year old are fucking idiots?
No, they should totally be allowed to vote, because they are represented by government. But it should be expected that their vote is to some degree shaped by the inherent perspective of a developing brain, which is fine.
No point in having this discussion with someone who’s already blinded by hate, just because a kid was lucky enough to be born in a better family than him
I see, thank you for explaining further. Agreed with the Sachman and Walton sentiment. 19 is certainly old enough to know what your father does, and with his wealth and no doubt stellar education he could start his own cushy life without using his dad’s exploitation money.
Exactly! There are so many 19 year olds who are inspirational to the people around him, and he could have chosen to be one of them. But instead he was living the fancy life he wanted.

Sure, I don’t want to go too off-topic, but as an ‘eat the rich’ kinda guy myself, I wanna challenge my own opinions to be logically consistent.
You’re a very reasonable person with a seemingly good degree of introspection, please don’t stop. We need more people like you.
