Just a thought for the innocent killed in Syria, and the rest of the Middle East

I was reading some articles and watching a few videos;

...It's a fucking disgrace, why isn't this showed more on the major media outlets, (fox, sky etc...), there are people being fucking slaughtered, gunned down for merely walking down the street. If that happened here in London or in the US, 10 people being killed would make major headlines, In Syria, it's passed off as normal.

I think that it's important to note that it is ONLY the fault of the Syrian government that this revolution has begun. But its important that many more people get to know about this to spread the word. there are Syrian military who are hiring out mercenary death squads and killing hundreds of civilians. 

I remember clearly when the London train bombings happened, there was an absolute media outcry when comparably 52 people died, whereas in Syria alone, so far more than 5'000 have been killed in Syria, since the uprising began and the majority of people ust acknowledge it as, "yeah theirs a problem in the middle east".

I am seriously like the only one who gives two shits about this?

  4. I have to agree with you, but there's nothing we can really do about this. America is taking a position to stand back and let it resolve itself, kind of like the Egyptian Revolution... Only with less violence.

  5. Yeah I agree too, but the news and rest of the media outlets only show what works as propaganda for the machine, showing this would go against the grain and they can't have that.

  6. I'll just have to fall into the line of agreeing, the media prints what will sell the best though and they get more money from showing wedding pictures of Kim Kardashian than this unfortunately. People generally aren't too concerned about what happens far from "home" so things like this gets no notice.

  7. funny thing is, in Libya (where there were interests such as oil and the whole fukken NATO was behind the scenes of the "revolution") the media done such a circus.

  8. Sadly, InfinitePlans hit it right on the head. I think that Vulcan Raven also touched on one of the key points involved.

  10. I sometimes wonder though, why can't our countries worry about it's own issues before helping another? Never made sense to me...
