If newspapers were to run every single act of injustice or violence that occurs in the world, there wouldn't be any more trees left.

If anything, we are more able today than ever to be aware of these things because we have things such as Internet, satellites, television, etc. We have more time and the ability to know things than any other time in human history.

To say that there is a lack of coverage is relative.

I simply dont see why so much violence over petty things is neccesary. i know that murder is going to happen either way, but at this point it's cruelty to the innocent, and mass genocide to the unknown.

Jikanu... have you ever done anything wrong? Or are you a saint?

If you have ever done anything wrong (which, I'm going to take a wild guess here and say you have), then why did you do it?

Violence is just doing something wrong on a larger scale.

Also, the fact that when a rich man dies it's all "OH NO HE WAS SUCH A GREAT PERSON SOB SOB SOB" but when a bum dies, they just burry him and move on with it. All human life has equal value.

Sadly, disagree. What makes Ian Thomlinson more special than any other joe on the street who gets the short end of the stick? Why choose to devote media coverage on him and not others? Why did you choose to make a thread about him but not others? Clearly, there is more worth to him than the others.

All human life has value. But equal value? I'm not sure about that one.
