Re: 31 kids died in Syria yesterday

I don't think they're necessarily proving that, since this thread is most likely a smart ass response to the OP in the other thread getting chewed out, especially since they didn't even bother linking an article on it. If they really wanted to spread the word and get the info out there, that's the least they could have done. It's kind of tasteless to use a tragedy, whether it's what happened to these poor kids or what happened today in Boston, to try to win some sort of Internet fight, you know? Pretty sure that's more what people are taking offense to than any sort of America > the world mentality.

I agree that this should definitely receive a lot more coverage, since it was horrible and I feel terrible for those children and their families. Hell, I even agree that America (and Western nations in general) often gets an unfair amount of coverage when it comes to world news, but tragedies are tragedies and it's not a zero sum game. You can care about more than one terrible thing that happened, and a lot of people are just naturally more inclined to care about things that affect them or people they know directly or are closer to home.
