    while you have a good point, I feel it would have been in better taste to save this post for tomorrow.

    Why? It happened today. Its a tragic event like what happened in Boston. I find it offensive to say wait until tomorrow. It deserves the same attention as anything else

    Thank you!

    1) Would this have been posted if the Boston bombing didn't happen? Nope
    2) That being said the article was only posted to make a point, which would have been better served tomorrow.

    And she likely never would have posted it on any other day....
    You can be offended. I still say the OP's post is ill timed and speaks volumes about her.

    why? does it make you feel uncomfortable that whats happened in the OP will get maybe 5% of the press?

    I am in agreement. It is offensive that we can't discuss/be upset about more than one bombing at the same time. Thanks for posting OP

    Make a point another day! I'm not disagreeing with the point being made as it's very true.

    agreed. we are all adults here, a big event happens, why wait until the next day to discuss it? when 9/11 happen, did everyone wait until the next day to discuss it? better taste to wait until tomorrow? why, will what happen today be any better tomorrow? will the fatalities go away, will the injuries go away... will we all wake up to this being a bad dream? why wait until tomorrow? it happen today...

    terrible and of course it would have come out of the BBC. Here in America our news is totally sanitized and American-centric. Not that the Boston bombing wasnt terrible, but theres other tragic events also going on in the world.

    I don't care where a victim lives, what their nationality is, or their religion, or even their politics. Killing innocent civilians is and always will be wrong. And sick. And sad. No need to wait until the next day, MFP is international.

    How is it in poor taste? I find it in poorer taste to suggest that these 31 not be remembered until tomorrow because the American tragedy is more important today

    The bad taste is in the reason it was posted which was too only make a point. Yes, I get the point being made and I agree with it, just not the time to make that point.
