it makes my heart heavy...

to know that there are tens of thousands dead and possibly millions homeless and directly affected on the other side of the world and all the news channels can talk about are the after christmas sales...

 

of course. that is how it is on the media...
it is rather sad but honestly everytime i walked by my parents room, i could hear the tv on and they were talking about the tsunami...but it was more"this could happen anytime anywhere and here is why" kinda thing...
it is rather sad that our society only cares about our society unless of course we can try to wage war on someone.

 

whoever cannot see that the media obviously plays on fear is blind... i watched FOX (gasp!) to try to get some info on the quake and all they were asking the scientists... "what are the possibilities of this happening on the west coast or the caribbean and how prepared would we be for it?"

like, how is anyone supposed to know that? and why are they asking questions about us when there are millions of people affected on the other side of the world. god this makes me feel shitty...

 

omg thats sick...seriosuly, over here (australia) we are getting lots of coverage (like when 911 happened)....it is making me so sad, those poor families
chrsitmas has been horrible this year.

American media really rates Americans as the most important and that kind of attitude makes me want to vomit.

 

I get my news online and I have seen much coverage. its been a top story on my home page since 12 minutes after it happened. I dont think the tsunami hadnt even made it to shore everywhere yet.

 

we really do have that kind of coverage clockwork...i know i heard the tv the other day say....after these messages we will be back with the american family who decided to adopt 3 russian kids.......now how important was the nationalities of any of the stories participants really? but it was a way for nationalists to say "wow, look at the good us americans did for those poor russian kids...

well miami...look the news up on the computer...thats the easiest way to fins what you are looking for anyway

 

online news is the way to go... on the TV there are way too many "commentators" and not enough anchors. you'd wonder why they call them two different things.

 

yeah i thought it was kindof strange i didnt even hear about it, when i saw the picture of it in traumas gallery i thought 'is that just another one of his jokes' and had to look it up to make sure..

 

yeah screw tv media, its mind numbing bullshit. i read mostly online news.

 

i bet if something like that happened in America, or somethin about a 1/4 o the size= we'd be hearing about it for months. we'd have rememberance days and everything.

i remember= when 9/11 happened=- we got a day off school, here-= in ireland.
cant imagine something like that happenin for that there tidal wave.

the poor people

its a sad fuckin world we're living in.

 

but it makes me wonder whether any americans were involved..because im sure it would be plugged endlessly over there if there were...i cant believe they were speculating on whether it could happen over there or not...that is so damn compassionate - NOT! always fuckin thinkin of numero uno

 

yes, amercan tourists in tailand were noted missing almost immediately.

 

well its easy...we have to make sure we are still gonna be around so we can take over the world and blow stuff up....

 

well once they find an american body, which i'm sure they will because this had to affect people of almost any nationality, i'm sure all the news channels will have tributes to that one guy... not that anything's wrong with paying tribute to someone lost, but it's the fact that the media upholds anyone and anything american before anyone else...

 

well it is just sadder when an american dies, ask anyone.

 

oh now its time for everybody to hate america. I guess its "hip" to hate america now. give me a fuckin break!

 

lol..haha..yes true, the world could not exist in such harmony without america to keep us honest!

 

Pity no ones at fault here, so America cant go declarin war on folk- or stickin there noses in where they aint wanted....

sick

 

I dont hate America. I proudly wear The uniform of a United States Sailor. I am a sarcastic son of a bitch sometimes, and I dont agree with everything my government does for me or for themselves, but I am still happy I was born here.

 

well it's just so damn easy with ignorance like that flowing around (btw..that wasnt directed at you, but media)

and crummy -you're abslutely right...you guys are the far superior race of deadheads..lol
