U NAILED it brother AMEN!

Yea, I know. Americans get too much credit for dying or killing, but there are tons of other happenings that do not get. DOn't get attention. Chronic Persistant hunger.

lolz

Cnuchavez. . . you have the worst page in the universe.

-1

So what you're saying is that 32 innocent people should be shot dead in our own country and we should just ignore it? That they should just be killed and we shouldn't even know about it?

+2

no what i'm saying is that why should the whole country go into lockdown over an incident like this? why should this occupy ALL of the news time? why should i be able to watch nothing on every major news channel except coverage of virginia tech?

Wallisgod, I didn't hear you bitching about the myspace suicide and that was ONE person. F*cking hypocritical dumbass.

Apple pie rules...oh and your a douche!

pie ftw!

I don't know what you nailed, besides the fact that you're ignorant, and are probably in 8th grade-level English. Basically what you're saying is that it only matters if people die in mass quantities. I'd bet you'd like it if people were so apathetic towards your death when your meth lab explodes.

No, read comment I mad above.

Uh, no. Sorry. Ain't gonna go down. Guess who's original idea it was? Here's a hint: http://en.wikipedia.org/Columbine_High_School_massacre Remember the Erfurt massacre? No? Well, that had a larger body count than Columbine, and no one remembers Mr. Steinhäuser. I rest my case, but I won't one you.

kill yourself

There is a huge number of national news stories which don't merit the coverage they receive, but this isn't one of them. Where were you when Barbaro died? Also, my 1 vote isn't for the message, but for the fact that this -- as a ytmnd -- blows nuts.

100,000-500,000 a day to genocide? That equals out to 36.5 million a year (taking your low-ball figure of 100k a day). So pretty much you're saying there are current genocides going on putting up a body count of 6 Holocausts a year? o.O

the population of the world goes up by about 70-80 million per year. 100,000- 1/2 a million is nothing compared to the overall world population.

yeah, more people die every day than all the casualties of WW1, WW2 and all the communistic oppression combined? you, sir, are an idiot. http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat8.htm

what? wwI and wwI had millions of deaths, and communist oppression had hundreds of millions of deaths. i said genocide is the cause of death, per day, of anywhere between 100,000-500,000 people, not in the millions, and depending on your definition of genocide. i'm including government inflicted deaths like killing of political rivals and starving your own populace as well.

i thought it was pretty awesome myself

hey, f*ck you, your mother, your father, your siblings, your pets, your extended family, and anyone you are associated with.

This doesn't even make sense. Its news of America. We should be alterted of it. Also, you grossly overblow how many people die.

it all depends on what you consider genocide. genocide isn't merely lining people up and killing them. china executing several thousand female babies every day, people dieing of starvation because their government's complete lack of moral code, and executed POW's every day. Those all fall under genocide in my book, call them what you will.

although I do have issues with the way the news covers these things, it IS a huge story. moreover, this isn't a great ytmnd. you could have made your point more eloquently, and humorously, if you thought about it creatively. again, i'm not totally opposed to your sentiments, but this isn't much of a ytmnd.

yeah if you look at my other ytmnd's i'm not much of ytmnd maker. my computer skills phail.

your skills as a human fail, too.

Also, this website isn't OpenDemocracy, nor is it your own personal rant board. Git off mah internets.

If I had to guess, I would say you and the shooter have at least one thing in common...YOU BOTH LISTEN TO GAY *SS PANTERA! turn that s h i t off.

5 for pantera, also good message i suppose especially about the pie

Well, I'm going to make a YTMND of the baby Jesus getting anally raped by Muhammad, while Hitler takes a dump on the American flag, and there are some cats being burnt alive in the background. And the text is going to be "

First things first: your genocide numbers are totally f*cked up, like people stated before, which automatically makes you a moron. People give a sh*t about Darfur and whatnot, but that's matter half way across the world. The VT shooting was something on our soil. You're an idiot for comparing genocide with school shootings. All the media did was give us updates, they blew nothing out of proportion. I hope whichever sh*t hole you work or go to school in is blown to pieces.

Yeah whatever, read my comments above. Maybe your definition of genocide and mine may differ. And no, the media did not just give us updates. Why don't you turn on the news for about 10 minutes and listen to it instead of spewing this out of your ass. Turn on the news and tell me that everything they aren't doing isn't done for ratings. School shootings are big news in the U.S., you wait and watch, this will be on the news for at least a week, probably more.

You're a heartless bastard. Had it been your relative, you'd be up in arms about this, so get off your high horse, jackass.

What else can you do? He killed himself. The only thing you can do is figure out why he did it. You can't plan for this kind of event, it just happens.

The fact that thousands of people are dying elsewhere doesn't have anything to do with this event. It's horrible regardless of the other crazy sh*t that's going on in this world. This ytmnd was a waste of time and it serves no purpose. At least entertain us.

Agreed, but not really. If this kid just did something stupid like burn down an outbuilding or hack the college's website, I could see your point. But 33 kids killed, not to mention more injured? No. You are completely wrong.

it deserved to be nothing more than a story on the news. instead, we're going to see this on the news for the next week.

So? It's not like any of us can change how the news channels feel about the story anyway, so just turn off the news and get on with your life.

The point of this YTMND was to show that all issues like this one and ones related are done for ratings and nothing more. I like watching the news, but something like this isn't going to alter our lifestyles in any way, it's been done before, and I would hope there are more important things that are going on in the world.

You still should have picked a less touchy topic, though. There are going to be people who are a lot more offended by this than I am, and reasonably so. I'll bet that there's at least several people online right now who know somebody who died or was injured. That's not going to help your argument, and neither is your dismissal of the loss of human life.

I wasn't expecting a great score on this YTMND or anything, and I knew that people were going to be offended, but I just wanted to be the realist that put everyone's view into perspective. I know I'm probably more heartless than I should be, but the world needs people like me to keep everyone from becoming a blubbery vagina. Thanks for the constructive criticism, more than I can say for most other comments.

5 stars! I completely agree, and thoght the exact same thing about the genocides.

agreed

I agree with the statement that Anna Nicole doesn't deserve coverage, other than at the most the mention of her death. The case following her child is just an example of my countries obsession with money, seeing as how the baby is worth what 100 mil? And while the ignorance of genocide isn't to be promoted maybe you should post a ytmnd that explains the genocides and their effects, the death of one person is not made light of, much less an act of hatred that killed 30 people and injured 20 others. 1'd.

I'm not doing a follow up to this YTMND talking about genocide. This one was mad out of frustration out how blown out or proportion the whole Virginia Tech situation instantly got.

thanks for your opinion, too bad i don't give a sh*t about your opinion and i'm gonna go eat some pie. also why do you even mention the thousands of deaths elsewhere when under your philosophy you wouldn't give a sh*t? i'm a bleeding heart so i don't think anyone deserves to die, but whatever. But to be honest, I'm 1'ng this site because it really sucks, there's nothing to it besides the Pantera and that doesn't even save you.

i mention the thousands of deaths every day to put everything in perspective, saying i don't care about the some odd 100,000 people slaughtered every day, why should i care about 30 people at a college in virginia? don't confuse that with the fact that i have nothing buy sympathy for the families, truly i do. but my heart doesn't bleed that long, and it stopped after about the 5 minute mark of my knowledge of the situation.

its too bad you wernt one of the 31

"On any given day on this earth, anywhere between 100,000 - 500,000 day in acts of mass genocide" - phail

I agree

but its ok to make hitler ytmnds DO JEWS NOT COUNT AS PPL?!

History books don't usually keep track of non-governmental mass murderers.

It makes good TV who cares?

controversy, i like.

it's important. period
