.. I did see and read this story and didn't post it because I waited to see if it was posted by anyone else..and yes, tragic but it's no cultural thing or racial thing or anything else that may be implied...we cannot, none of us can..take on and absorb all tragedy, deaths and sadness in the world, otherwise emotionally..?..it would probably kill us as that's just too much ...I made a thread of the Nepal Earthquake during the election as well and when I preferred to have it kept 'non political related' in terms of aid getting through etc ..it was hardly posted in...is that because we are all cold people nd lacking of any compassion for those in other countries.../no, it's because a general election in a country is something very important to everyone who lives there...and that was the focus at the time...it's really silly to infer that 'we don't care'....
