Oh wait, they wernt famous, nobody cares ::)
-
man, i just picture 25,000 kids, all sprinting, cuting and slicing like young Bo Jacksons as they are approached by MJ at the pearley gates. giving stiff arms and shit :) :)
-
Imagine if they were all Americans.
Then imagine if a terrorist killed them all.
Would people care more?
What if it was a terrorist who killed only 1,000 of American kids? 500 American kids? The news media would be covering it 24/7 for weeks and weeks. There would be massive monuments. Outrage. Countries would be invaded and more people killed in revenge.
-
Were any of them celebrities?
JK... I'm sure a a few hundred or even a few thousand little shorties were Filipino or Chinese like myself. It's sad that no one gives a shit. My family sends money overseas and same with my fiance - they've sent tons of money overseas to build houses, purchase farming equipment, medicine, etc... stuff to get them on their feet, not just hand outs.
What a world we live in - pure, unadulterated shit.

Shit, I kill 10,000+ nightly with every jerk session I have....

I'm glad you started this thread..a much needed set of words. Our media today is in shambles. Unfortunatly, it's all controlled by $$ and they're just playing the game. Any and every media outlet is either in the pockets of some organization or visa versa. So, they're pressured to cover some things and not others. MJ's death gets viewership. .period. So, that's what they cover. One of the many reasons that I've always been turned off to the possibility of having children. How and why would I ever, as a parent, want to go up against the hypocrocies of the world in which we live?

Does it really matter? I will put a .357 to my head and take the bet that you don't give one iota of thought to people like that dying every day. I'm sure you'll respond with some "holier than thou" response, but you're undoubtedly no better than anyone else. ;)

"...No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."
/yeah, i'm getting old, but i believe this with all my heart.

Great quote but I'll bet this guy is just as self-absorbed as the rest of us.
Cut the intellectual shit, Chimps. This is Getbig. I expect jibberish, racism and reptilians! >:(

That's the spirit!

It doesn't matter if someone's famous or not, I don't really give a shit if they die. It's not like anyone aside from family and close friends would care about me if I died.
Sorry, but I'm going to worry about myself and family before I start worrying about the countless unknowns that die every day.
"Everybody gotta die sometime, Red."

Good point, db. So now the question is, with this thought in the forefront of our conscience, what are we going to do about it? Do we just lament that kids are dying needlessly, of diseases that are treatable, starvation that's avoidable?
Thanks to you posting this, I'm going to donate $25 to UNICEF right now, in Michael Jackson's memory. After all, it was his death that was the genesis of this thread. I invite my fellow getbiggers to join me.
$25 may not be much to us, but it could save a life in a third world country.
Thanks again for starting this thread.

Try donating to the country you live in.
Think locally, not globally.

ask not for whom the bell tolls, for it tolls for thee
-
24,513 of those kids should have never been born into whatever third world shithole they lived in anyways.
-
Whom does the bell toll for?
thee

So your a lib? Do you support abortion? If so then why do you give a shit about 25,000 kids dying today when approx 115,000 abortions are preformed in the same time frame?
