That makes sense. @Jonathan Because no matter how much humanity may try to be different, all humans are still animals. Humans are all too ready to throw logic out the window at the chance to behave in a way harmful to others and themeselves. @Joana Exactly. There are people who die every day in this world. For no reason. People who starve to death. People who die of easily-curable diseases. People who die needlessly because of a conflict they are just innocent bystanders in. If the American media wants to let their heart bleed, let it bleed for all, not just their own countrymen. @Maria

Americans are boohooing over the rampage at VT, and while it is a tragedy, it's not the sole horrendous thing to happen. yet I don't see anyone making a day of silence for the victims of starvation, poverty, genocide what have you, around the world. It irks me that Americans can be so self-centered and see only their tragedies and the worst of the worst. *shakes head* I made a big ol rant of this at my other blog, news.nanashi-inc.net, so I'll refrain from going on and on about it here ;) But seriously, that is horrible that so many innocent people were senselessly killed like that. It sickens me that people can justify crap like this. See and it’s that article that incensed me.

How can, in a world like today that is suposed to be more civilized, some people die like this ? Just imagine this : A little kid seeing his parents burning inside a bus it gives me some chills.

More sympathetic articles get pushed to the front yet so many people are dying each day elsewhere. As for the VTech... it makes sense why it hits the country harder than it should: schools are considered as a safe environment, a haven from the violence out there and to see it tarnished is quite shocking.
