There are lots of bad things going on in the world so you don't care about any of them?

I still think that we should send some GLA units in...send some Scorpion Tanks,Angry Mobs and Rocket Buggys.

'The GLA's primary disadvantage is that, in terms of firepower, range, and durability, its units are outmatched by Chinese and American units, and it has a complete lack of air power. This forces a GLA player to outmaneuver or outnumber opponents, as in an even, direct confrontation the GLA will lose to superior Chinese firepower and American technology.'

Guerrilla tactics it is then...:mad:

I always play as China "Bullets for everyone!"

No, I care about them to various degrees, depending on how they impact my own life. I'm certainly not overwhelmed with rage and a sense of injustice at an issue that's happening the other side of the planet and whose complexity we can only begin to understand, while at the same ignoring problems closer to home. Do you see?

None of the idiots out "protesting" have never been to either Tiber or China and they start all their f*cking sh1te and they haven't a notion what they're on about.

They have no idea whatsoever what goes on over there and they have the f ucking cheek to go around making a scene.

I really just don't care. I mean, there is a limit to how much you are about things. You might be happier if they weren't going on but I see that as being different to caring. Tbh, I really need to be personally affected to care. In the hospitals of Ireland tonight many people died. There will be distraught grieving families but it just happens and I don't care. Because how can you care unless you're personally involved? A friend's ma dies and you see grief first hand - you care because you've got the inside track on things. Hamas bloke gets killed on the Gaza strip? I don't care in the slightest. He will have a family too. But there is a limit to how much you can care. That is my point of view so there.

How very queer, I posted something like this about the 7/7 bombings in London a few years ago saying I didn't really care and got absolutely torn to shreds for it. So the further away dead people are the less we care about them is it?

Everyones going on about this free Tibet nuisance lately and i for one am sick of it. I think it would suit all the do-gooders a whole lot better if they all started looking at thier social issues domestically before they jump on their hippy band wagon and make their way to the olympics.
What do you think?

I would argue that our social issues, and those in most rich countries pale in comparison with the problems in Dharfur, Burma etc.

Sadly, those who are important in the world seem to disagree.
