It would be easy to go back to IRAQ and ask how (in what manner) 100k people were killed and I'm not even talking about by whom since all sides participated.
But then, AFGH, Colombia, Somalia, Sudan which we don't even hear much in the news. What about RDC with the deadliest war since WWII where more than 5millions died.
The world's f*cked up ?
It always been and even worse you can imagine.
People were extremely shocked at Nazi's concentration camps and how they industrialized killing people with gas since burning them wasn't fast enough.
Yet, we saw in Rwanda a rampage of killing using mainly machetes.
People get crazy over a couple of killing in North America for instance since it is sordid and goes into the media for days yet everywhere on the planet Millions literally dies from starvation while we the millions in North America eat like pigs and waste so much.
As Mod11 said... it always been but now, any news that goes around because of the internet and smartphones becomes a big deal very quickly...yet people forget as quickly.
Only during the time you read this (if you read it completely) more than 25 kids died from one kind of death that would have been completely preventable if it wasn't for the murderers wearing a tie playing in the stock market with food which they call 'a commodity'.
Don't get me wrong, Sick sh!t like what you guy posted that happened is making me ...sick too. Yet !
Take a break now and ask yourself how a society which boast itself so advanced in technology still ask the majority of it's working force to do the same stupid patern each and every day by getting up around the same time, and spending Billions of hours in traffic.
It's the same stupidity as anyone buying (sh!t) tobacco or drugs to kill themselves slowly.
5 more kids just died since...
People will see a kid being left dying in the streets in China and they will automatically say that it's the "Chinese" that are f*cked up.
The same will look at the picture made about the guy in New-York Subway and will automatically say it's the reporter who's f*cked up !
Not Americans.
Yet the same hypocrisy goes on against the Americans while we in Canada have the same stupid behavior which in the end is costing lives for... only stupid reasons. It has nothing to do with being a Chinese, American, Canadian, male, female, etc...
While reading this post, more than 30 kids died.
If you read the entire thread so far you have been reading while more than 200 kids died at least.
But hey, they didn't die in a war so there's no sensation here.
Only stupid mankind BS hypocrisy that it's never one's fault to live the way we live.
Now here's the kicker... since the rate of dying for children in the world because of desease and starvation is almost stable or growing since the 80'.
If you were born in 1990 and you only have 22...
More than 200 Million kids died since the day you opened your eyes...
And almost 2 Trillion animals were slaughtered in the US alone (the only no. I have) since.
Yep ! amazing hey how life can replenished itself ?
Then you get once in a while a full front page cover about one guy who saved for exemple 2 people from drowning thus becoming a big hero.
That's one superb way for society to turn a blind eye on the real situation of the our world we live in.
Frankly if I would believe in some sort of superior alien race coming on the earth witnessing what is going on.... I would (being them) have no problem whatsoever in nuking the sh!t out of us... so called 'human' beings !
