The only way it'll ever be impossible is if we give up.

and it's just as bad as before, it's just more covered up. you dont think those who use illegal immigration to their own advantage (i.e. basically enslaving them and threatening them with the feds) are just as bad as the plantation owners? it's just well covered up. no better. and no one since John Lennon really seems to have made a great reach out for world peace.

Politicians have never done anything but fix the mistakes of other politicians. Makes you wonder why we ever took them in in the first place.

once again, didnt see your post till after i posted x.x

Jikanu, do you even bother to read my entire post or just the last paragraph? Because if you only read the last paragraph, then I'm not going to continue. ~_~

Certain people get more media coverage because more people care about them. When the Queen of England dies, she is going to get a hell a lot more media coverage than the bum on the street. Why? Because more people care about the Queen of the England than they do the bum on the street.

Is it wrong for them to care more about the Queen of England than the bum on the street? I don't think so. Who's to say who people should care for more than others.





And I ask you again, 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.

Humans are imperfect beings and we will make mistakes and do things wrong. There's no way around that.

sorry if it came off that way x.x

obviously we'll make mistakes, and im not a saint either, of course o.o i previously addressed that. there's no stopping violence, but we can stop the massive scale that it occurs on. We can stop the hatred, we can stop the anger, the depression, the fear. Even the smallest of acts can change a persons life forever. a simple smile to show them that there IS hope out there. the butterfly effect.

what more did the queen of england do than the bum, other than being born rich instead of poor? is that fair and just and right?

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.



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.



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.

Really? They're spending a HUGE amount of time on Obama getting a burger. obama taking a train ride. obama getting in a car. they're obsessing over stupid little things, while IMPORTANT things are happening that we should know about.

*Sigh* we're getting off topic though. Im talking about the overall lack of caring for things in the world, not just thomlinson, or a bum, or the queen of england. people obsess over celebrities, but dont really care that thousands are dying due to preventable causes. it makes no sense.
