Random African kid, dead at 2

United States of America, fuck yeah...

 

The man who took that photo killed himself.

 

I am impressed you know that.

 

So what is the point of this, Bird?

 

Did you know that too?

 

The same as your 'beer/wine/liquor' thread. Or any other thread ever made.

 

I hadn't a clue.

 

Did everyone get a good cry in?

birds gotta eat too...

 

I did look it up after you posted it originally. Somehow, this fact makes this thread even more macabre.

 

You could indeed say it is part of the food chain.

 

I agree.
I am glad you learned a random fact today.

 

No one cared about the adopted Ethiopian girl who was killed by her Seattle area parents while using the crazy parenting rules from the book "To Train Up a Child". I posted about this maybe a couple weeks ago and maybe 2 people replied to the thread.

In order to care about someone's death there has to be something shocking or either deeply personal. There is not a personal story to all the random kids who die everyday, we feel almost nothing about it, because it's so common and there's nothing that we know to do about it. We are supposed to be numb to these things. It's the way of our times.

And now a moment of silence.
