Why They Hate Us

You wanna know why I think the world hates America?

Yesterday a building fell down in New York City... Attempted Suicide Murder. It got 4 or 5 hours of continuous coverage on the news. HOURS... of a building. This wasn't a frickon terrorist bombing here folks... it was a building fall down, go boom. Some depressed asshat who should have been better monitored by his shrink decided to try to kill himself and his ex by blowing up their NY mansion. boo-hoo-hoo.

Today... 7 Bombs were set off on commuter trains in Mumbai, India during morning rush hour. Many INNOCENT people are dead, many more are injured. (Kinda like the people in the WTC, except on another part of the planet). The whole world has it's eyes on India right now.... the whole world except America. America is talking about Bush's budget, Syd Barrett's death, the building in NY yesterday... oh, and they might happen to off-handedly mention the bombs in India.

Know why they don't care? Cause if it wasn't "Our Terrorists" that set those bombs off.. (Al Queda), it don't count in our war, and therefore, not good enough for our media to cover. American people as a whole are so very involved with what is going on in America, but we get our collective panties all in a wad when people call us isolationists, or ignorant. We are, generally, as a people. We go out and introduce our "way of life, liberty and freedom" to other parts of the world... and we know jack about squat about those other parts of the world, and frankly, we don't care to ask anyways. There are people out there dying. We don't know about it because our media doesn't tell us... they don't tell because we don't ask... nay demand to know. Not like we care anyways.

It really pisses me off. Makes me glad I have a British News feed... at least someone doesn't have their cameras so far up the administrations ass that they can see the rest of the globe, and the people in it.
