Jome has some weird ideas about the world. How fucking stupid can you be if you make a post like this one? He also says 7even is right most of the time
Quote from: Thirteen on July 24, 2004, 01:07:38 AMwhen i was in japan, they were going through a slight depression and japanese businessmen were jumping from skyscrapers almost every week, but my parents didn't hear about thatthere was also a middle school student that decapitated a couple of his fellow students that my parents didn't hear about...so i guess nothing wrong ever happens in any other country besides americaI think it's rather more like this:Most countries: Focus on national news, but also big international news, disasters & other big news/sport events regardless of the country.U.S.: Only national news, aren't most Americans much more concerned about U.S. than other countries.. ??If somebody shoots up a school in Turkey, we'll hear it here..If a young schoolgirl kills another schoolgirl in Japan, we'll hear it. (It actually happened)If there's a life threatening tornado somewhere or flood, we'll hear it, regardless if it's U.S. coast or Australia coast.It just seems that shootouts, school massacres, and crazy car chases seems to happen 100 times more in U.S. than other places.. And statistics proves that right..

How many times have you watched the news in America?
when i watch the news here, i don't hear anything about another country, unless there's a huge disaster or anything (except the ones in the middle east)
Not true. All of those sotries were reported in the US on my local news stations

All news is like that. Bad things are the only stories that get on the news. Honestly who would wanna watch the news if it was just good stuff. i wouldn't."local boy saves cat from tree, he was later awarded with a $5 dollar gift certificate to mccdonalds where he bought a bigmac"

These dumbasses also think that all arabs are muslims and all muslims are arabs. I think Arabs make up only about 15 % of the 1 billion muslims. Most muslims are Indonesians followed by Indian, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nigerians, Persians, Turks etc.
