He said the only shocking thing about the plight of the young boy was that his mother put him in a boat. And he continues saying it. I think that quite succinctly describes the prick's lack of empathy and sympathy.
As for calling people cunts, I'll do it all day long when a fucking idiot spouts absolute bollocks for attention because his daddy used to ignore him.
Why don't you ignore him too, if you find his opinions so reprehensible?
Continually calling someone a c*** and a prick just because his opinion differs from yours (REGARDLESS of right or wrong) says as much about you as it does about him.
Oh, and don't bother calling me a ****, I already know!
