        Who says the only options are “world news” or “US news”? Just post in the relevant country’s news community. If it doesn’t exist, start it!

        I always took “world news” to mean “news that affects the world”, which this definitely doesn’t.

        I’m so bored of hearing about their self inflicted problems, the same ones over and over again.

        At this point I don’t care anymore about how many of their own children they kill. It’s like my dramatic cousin phoning me and for the 50th time whining about her problems, that she makes, but is incapable of fixing.

            Myself and a multitude of others grow more and more openly hostile and polarized to this typical loud American attitude every day. Contributions like this are one small reason why, and the momentum isn’t slowing down. Your response isn’t thoughtful reflection, it’s just loud chewing.

            The full list of reasons I comment on your trash is too complex to get into now so your request for me to not speak is denied and it would be a waste of time to try explain it to you.

            Go ahead and prove me wrong with something other than venomous vitriol, anything beyond ad hominem?

        I mean there’s more than these two categories. There’s “Canadian news”, “French news”, “South Korean news”, “USA news”, and so on. It’s not a privileged classification, it’s national news, every country has them.

        It’s not news in the context of the US, this happens like every week there. Children get shot at school and have to be identified. Business as usual.

      I feel like these comments would carry much more weight if this board was more popular.

      It’s not like we’re missing anything by including these articles, yet.

        Yeah I don’t want to sound riled up or anything, but avoiding US local news is getting annoying. Even german newspapers and radio are full of it. It’s just not something I expect to see in worldnews.

    is that all we did was identify a victim?

    are we not going to change the country’s gun laws or promote and fund mental health or do anything else or

    just bag and tag and move on to the next horror show

    starting to feel like any day now we are going to wake up to

    "Yesterday’s body count lottery rounded out to a solid ‘n’ sturdy thirty! Ten outta Heywood - thanks to the unabated gang wars! One officer down, so I guess you are all screwed. ‘Cause the NCPD will not let that go. Got another blackout in Santo Domingo. Netrunners are at it again, pokin’ holes in the power grid. While over in Westbrook, Trauma Team’s scrapin’ cyberpsycho victims off the pavement. And in Pacifica… Well… Pacifica is still Pacifica.

    This has been your man, Stan. Join me in another day in our City of Bugs!"
