Loved that "Why russian attack helicopters are the best in the world" article. Why? Cause Rogozin said so :)) Rogozin, with a degree in journalism and Phd in philosophy.

Jesus, this is sick! We use electrical current in Romania, we're in the 21st century for God's sake...Wrong answer! 150V for 10 secs! Our government tries to introduce this type of education in sport too, because our football team plays like crap lately.

Company, you're suffering of islamophobia.

11 people murdered at Charlie Hebdo, the whole world was in fire, everyone is Charlie since than. 147 people massacred at Garissa University College in Kenya a week ago, by other islamic lunatics, noone gives a sh*t. Those students probably didnt worth as much as some french journalists.

endeed... "gens de qualite" :)

Sadly enough a "too far from our bed" show. Deserved a lot more attention in media

Your heartrate gets higher, when there's an explosion next to your room, then when there's a much bigger explosion 100 kms away. That's natural. There were always terror attacks and civil wars in Africa, but when it comes to France, Europe... What's next? Maybe Hungary or Romania or wherever you live? Besides because of Charlie Hebdo, there were some dangerous initiatives, that freedom of speech should be reconsidered.

Humans only have a very limited capability to feel bad for the victims of destruction, and they keep it for those, who are closer to them. That's sad, but true. I guess Africans are a lot more worried about the Kenya massacre, because some idiots have just taken away part of their future.

I can get quite annoyed with all those self-righteous people who seem to ignore any factors why we might care more about some events than others. It's like walking up to somebody in the hospital and explaining to someone with a broken leg how selfish they are for caring about a broken leg when it's their own, but being totally oblivious to some poor kids in third world countries who do not even get medical treatment when they break something.

And then I'm ignoring the fact that the massacre in Kenya did make it to the headlines, so the claim that we don't care about it is dubious at best.

You shouldn't be proud of the fact that you're the first one to point out that we care more about Charlie Hebdo than the massacre in Kenya. Just admit that you don't really care about these people either.

Yes and no. I understand your "self-righteous" qualifications about this kind of complaints. The fact that a car crash around the corner draws more attention that a train crash at the other side of the globe is not new, and it is not meaningful per se. Hence you are right.

At the same time, those complaining have a point (at least some make this point) in that much of the outcry following Charlie Hebdo (but it is just an example, you can substitute by many other events) also had a "self-righteous" tone, hiding its self-interested nature in some humanitarian rhetoric. And just to make it clear: I'm not talking against self-interest, just like I'm not judging those checking out the crash around the corner (nor the fact that they do it for morbid curiosity rather than interest in the health of the strangers involved in the crash). I think that's fine, but many were not really honest about their reactions to Charlie Hebdo, and events like the ones marcozea points out expose their hypocrisy.

In that sense, you have to give it to Bush Jr. that he was more honest when saying "you don't do this to us", instead of going with some "every human life is precious" bs. before bombing half a country :P
