Good afternoon everyone, there has been yet another civilian massacre today, adding to the countless others that are not reported.

This should be on the front page of the NYT (it won’t of course).

To those who disagree, can you name one bigger thing that happened this week besides all the deaths due to high medical costs in the richest country in the world?

Anything, anything at all... or is the MSM just a bunch of propagandist?

Everyone repeat after me: "I funded the murder of 16 children today".

Wouldn't it be nice if people were still outraged at this stuff?

I doubt the MSM will cover it.

This is impossible. After all, we have had 2 presidents and vice president win the nobel peace prize in the past 15 years or so.....

***warning this is extreme sarcasm***

Worse by far is that American servicemen were slaughtered in Afghanistan this week. All the more reason to bring our troops home and use them to protect our own borders, not to keep Muslims from killing each other. Who cares if the Taliban rise to power in Afghanistan again? The oppression of women and preventing girls from attending schools in Afghanistan is hardly our fault or our problem, let alone worth the life of an American serviceman or woman.

They’re more outraged about people saying mean words.

A civilian death is the same value as an American soldier's;

30 civilian deaths is a bigger deal than the three dead servicemen, even though that was horrible too.

More specifically we are responsible for those 30 deaths.
