 [07:53]   [08:09]  am i the only one who finds it weird how the media is talking about the manchester bombing now vs yesterday [08:10]  now they're going on about the 8 year old girl who died and not mentioning the numbers [08:10]  and of course going on and on about the terrorist since they know the details now, as if immortalizing them in this way is any kind of a good idea [08:11]  it feels like they're trying to make people care because there were kids involved, not because people died [08:11]  just keep hearing about how "kids were targeted" [08:11]  maybe that's true but it's kind of awful to push down the significance of everyone else killed or injured who weren't kids [08:12]  "US President Donald Trump has met Pope Francis at the Vatican for a short private audience on the third leg of his overseas trip." [08:12]  Oh wait. [08:13]  "donald trump tries to sell weapons to the pope too" [08:13]  "Our children are the future, the terrorists destroyed our future!!1!!! [08:13]  yes [08:13]  its weird [08:13]  "people died" became "think of the children" [08:13] <Alemas2005> http://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-england-manchester-40007967 [08:14] <Alemas2005> The 8 year-old isn't even mentioned on the sidebar. [08:14] <EveryOpenEye> they mention a 15 year old [08:14] <Alemas2005> But not the 8 year-old. [08:14] <EveryOpenEye> "Children are among the dead, and 12 under-16s are among the 59 injured" this thing [08:14] <Alemas2005> <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [08:14] <Alemas2005> Ah yes. [08:15] <EveryOpenEye> never mind the 47 other people [08:15] <EveryOpenEye> just the under-16s [08:16] <EveryOpenEye> also it makes me wonder why we keep going on about terror threats here when the only terror attack we've like ever had was 2.5 years ago [08:17] <EveryOpenEye> and was essentially the least competent hostage-taker ever [08:17] <EveryOpenEye> a ton of hostages escaped at various points, none got injured in the process [08:17] <EveryOpenEye> the only reason he even killed anyone (1 person) is because the police response was so god-awful [08:17] <EveryOpenEye> and then of course the police ended up killing one of the hostages in the "rescue" [08:17] <EveryOpenEye> and just today they ruled that the cops did nothing wrong, it was all the shooter's fault [08:17] <EveryOpenEye> like seriously [08:21] <Alemas2005> https://www.nationstates.net/nation=capitalusia/detail=trend?censusid=41 [08:22] <EveryOpenEye> perfect [08:24] <EveryOpenEye> "4 hours ago: Socialstralia was ranked in the Top 5% of the world for Most Compassionate Citizens and the Top 10% for Highest Foreign Aid Spending and Largest Trout Fishing Sector.

[08:29] <Alemas2005> "President Trump, who is travelling overseas, missed the unveiling of his first full budget, titled A New Foundation for American Greatness. " [08:29] <Alemas2005> "A New Foundation for American Greatness. " [08:29] <Alemas2005> ...what the hell. [08:29] <EveryOpenEye> "The budget also features an Ivanka Trump plan for paid parental leave." ??? what is this ruling dynastic crap [08:29] <Alemas2005> "Is the president's budget law? [08:29] <Alemas2005> No. A US president's annual budget is a policy wish list that stands little chance of being enacted." [08:29] <Alemas2005> Since when do news articles feature questions in the headlines?! [08:29] <EveryOpenEye> why is he trying to get his whole family in on ruling the country [08:30] <EveryOpenEye> "Critics say the plan would hurt some of Mr Trump's supporters hardest." well yes, because disaffected working class people were a lot of his base, and he hates them passioantely [08:31] <EveryOpenEye> "Ivanka Trump's plan to offer six weeks of paid leave to mothers and fathers makes this the first Republican administration to put forth such a proposal." ok well at least that's a good thing [08:33] <EveryOpenEye> oh also http://www.smh.com.au/national/quadrant-online-editor-roger-franklin-laments-that-manchester-blast-was-not-against-abc-20170523-gwbreb.html
