Yep. And I'm totally serious too, that actually happened. And it was just mob mentality as usual. One person did it, and everyone else just started joining in.
And what's even worse was their rationalle behind it. They were literally offended that I brought up hunger in africa, because apparently that "insinuated that I was making light of American hunger" - which was of course absurd. (And trying to explain that to them was like trying to tell a preschooler that the sky is blue. They wouldn't listen, but they were more than happy to put words in my mouth anyway.
).
This is the way people think nowadays. We are the most educated we have ever been, as the human race, and yet we resort to this. And stories like this are unfortunately not rare these days.
