Everyone knows, that I love my American brothers and sisters, but this has been tiking me off since the Boston Marathon bombing. Why is it, that every time there is a tragedy in the US, you Brits act like its the end of the world. The Boston event had 3 deaths, because of 2 crazy muslim fanatics. It seemed like Armageddon, with the news and all. To this day, its still in the news.
Yet, just Sat, Apr 20, 2013 "Earthquake kills 157, injures 5,700 in China's Sichuan." Heard about it for a minute, then forgotten. Fri, May 10, 2013 "Bangladesh workers find survivor in factory rubble. where the death toll shot past 1,000". Heard about it for a minute, then forgotten. I read comments on blogs, like "good riddance, less muslims". Some disgustng stuff. I am sorry, but Maybe next time, these world tragedies, will get a bit of attention. Maybe next time, it wont be like the end of the world, when 3 people die in a tragedy! And maybe one billion people wont be vilified, for the actions of 2 crazy brothers. Just maybe these kinds of tragedies, can bring some perspective, about insignificant random events like in Boston. The lord does work in mysterious ways. That being said, my heart goes out to the victims families, and everyone affected by the devastation, sincerely.
