I haven't posted for ages because I can't be bothered
but I really really need to rant.
You know what? The Boston
Bombings were definately tragic
and it's sad that 3 people have died and heaps
are injured. But did you know that today the US bombed an Afghan
wedding killing 30 people and injured more than 70
people. They were all just innocent people. But do you hear the
President apologising for that? No. A car bombing in the Middle
East killed 15 people today. No RIP's for
them? I am just so sick of the media only focusing on Americans and
Europeans. I am so sick of people posting about events just because
everyone else is, and feeling sad about something they barely
understand. I am so sick of people assuming that some
people's lives are more valuable than
others. I am so sick of the blatent
racismm and the blind nationalism.
It's kind of funny isn't it how those three lives are more
important than everyone elses? All crimes against humans are
crimes against humanity as a whole.
We should not be drawing distinctions between the importance of one
life and another because of their colour of their skin or the
country they live in. If you want to support the victims, go for
it. They'll get plenty of help since the media can use them for
their own gain, so I'll be spending my time trying to bring
some things to light.

Well, the media is always biased. They tell a lot of lies, point fingers a lot and ignore the real issues in society. And that is why I don't appreciate the media. Not because I want to be ignorant, but I never get the entire story. No matter how many times they say, "Full coverage" or whatever bullcrap.
