Is anybody else out there truly disturbed by the rash of tragedies going on around the world lately ? From plane crashes, murders, terrorist attacks, sexual assaults, parents killings their own children ???
It seriously makes we wonder where the world is going and how safe any of us are out there anymore....

    These news are old news. All this has been happening since before we knew. If it wasn't for the media, a lot of us would still be ignorant to the fact that all of this had been happening many moons, many suns, many galaxies ago.

    I agree that the media sensationalizes everything bad that happens in the world.
    It seems like there has been sooooo much bad in the last few months.
    It would sure be nice to see some good news that got that much attention...

    Yes, it's so sad that their foremost goal is to get ratings with the bad stuff. Humans need drama, I guess.

    considering population density, less of this stuff happens than ever and yet thanks to media perception we get threads like this...at no point in history are you better to be an average citizen somewhere in the world than right now...
