yeah, look they both would like to be (or i think they are sure about it), the "navel of the world", you can't just ignore them because unfortunely stupidity is human and they are representative of that ... what else, oh it will be too long ...and they both just all mix the situations, don't want to listen to anyone else opinion (they pretend they can do it).... And of course, they know everything better than anyone else! ...............only waste of time.

krb has a point.

It's sad that 7 people died, but people die every day. Why should we mourn more those 7 than the 40 that died in Zimbabwe? The shuttle is all over the news, but where is the train in Zimbabwe?

I don't like people dying, but the hypocrisy of the US is amazing. And the fact that most of the world buys it. So, 7 people died, sad. But there are worse things happening, 40 people died and hundreds got injured in a train crash.
( http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa...ain/index.html ) Why hasn't anyone started a topic on that?

The same thing with Ruwanda and East Timor. Somehow it seems if you don't die in the USA, you're not worth enough to get on the news. Sad but true.

oh, i wish i'd die in US then, i want to be on the news !!! (hey nonsense)

you think that'll change anything ? it's not sad that the death of some people its not announced on tv, it cant ! really don't care if it's mediatic or not, once again, what can it change ???
it's different if you are talking about indifference, i'm agree, it's not the same.
if something is on medias because its important or wathever, it's like that, that's all ;
But saying "if you don't die in the usa, youre not worth enough to get on the news", well i hope youre not really think what you say

No one says that there should be MORE mourning over the shuttle victims. Basic compassion for the families over who they lost is in order. I know krb is lacking in any compassion, and so, apparently, are you.

How, exactly, is it hypocritical to report on something that happened in your own country? You are proof that there are still narrow minded jackasses out there that think news coverage on a tragedy IN OUR OWN COUNTRY is somehow ignoring news in the rest of the world. I wonder if you would be saying that there are worse things if it was one of *your* family members, or maybe even yourself.

God, shut up. Do you just open your mouth and hope for the best? Your opinions are getting worse each time. Quit while you are ahead. krb is probably celebrating about now, he thinks Americans should die. Do you, too? He believes in karma, he says. Well, here's another thing for you 2...be careful what you wish for. It may just happen to you.

Go Jess. This isn't about being on the news or not. It's just sad news. If you think it isn't fair that there isn't as much attention to the train-accident or whatever you would like to mention, you could change that yourself. Open a topic!

Thank you Alja, you are right. I knew KRB would have a field day with this. I actually feel sorry for you. To be so cynical and have no compassion at such a young age is a tragedy.

Why haven't you started that topic yourself, Ice? Why haven't you called the news agencies to complain? So it is the USA's fault that we are "newsworthy?" Start a petition and send it to CNN if it bothers you so much. I am not being sarcastic either. Do something about it instead of just complaining and moaning about "US hypocrisy."

You all are upset that nobody posts about news around the world, yet I have never seen one from any of you. Start speaking up if you want people to know.
