So yeah bombings in America = people all over the world tuning in to see it and offering sympathy whereas 43 people are killed and 257 people injured in mass bombings in iraq yet i'm 99% sure that 85% of the people who read this thread are only hearing about the iraq bombings now.. what a fucked up world we live in
Although, I mostly agree with you (I'm from the US by the way) I have to put my 2 cents in. If there was a mass shooting every day or every week in the US, people would start to dismiss it as a regular event. When you first went off to college, it was like "OMG!!! I'm in college!!!" However, in a week or two, it starts to become normal and not as exciting. I understand why the people of Boston and the rest of Massachusetts are turning their head, but the whole world?
Edit: On another note, the world was fucked up for a long time now.
