Just another shooting in America. I dismissed it.
Children are killed in America ALL THE TIME. This was in a school, but for something I regularly write about on a website I look into a lot of murders throughout the Western World, and there is a lot of them. What makes this case unique is that...
Sadly, no.
The only 'major' events in recent years I felt compassion for where the victims of the London bombings (as I mentioned above) and the Norwegian Shootings. In that case my best friend's boyfriend was on the island (he wasn't harmed) and thus I felt the connection there. Apart from...
I felt sadness for the London bombings as I was there at the time and helped a few people. However, I am sadly unable to feel sad for people on the other side of the globe. I presume that makes me odd? It's just very difficult for me to form a connection with people I don't know.

It sucks to go online right now and see the comments sections of various websites. All of them begging to help America, defend America and America doesn't deserve it etc. Very few Americans actually seem to realise that they have...
Offensive ramblings? Only other things I have said here which could be slightly controversial is the fact that Nelson Mandela is a terrorist, which is true. There is no argument about that. Although I did get banned for calling him a terrorist despite it being factually accurate. The second was...
