I watched a horrible programme on BBC4 about genocide carried out by Serbs during the war in '95. I know all wars are horrible, but to see these people, grown men sobbing, it made me feel like a shit that we didn't do anything to prevent this. Whats worse that unlike the holocaust, this wasn't decade and decades ago, this was when as a younger kid I would be sat in McDonalds or swimming and having a nice life and stuff, and at the same time these people were in buses watching people gunned down waiting for their turn. To think that something like this could have happened so recently just shows you that whatever people tell you, the world will never be a just or free place. While people are shopping and enjoying life, somewhere else on earth others will be enduring this kind of shit. Sorry for the rant, anyone else see this? |

no, but it definitely sucks that people suffer senselessly like that. i sometimes feel kind of guilty living in such a comfortable home when i think about those others out there suffering, such as the diseases, wars, and poverty in africa... |

Those appeals on tv for charities just don't move me at all, you get to the point of thinking, fuck there's so many what can I do?, but this really did. I mean, these people lived normal lives like you and me. What's scary is i'm sure this could happen in somewhere like England...but then that just shows my fear for myself. I dunno, its too horrible to comprehend |

That's another issue I feel strongly about. I bet right now someone there is fearing their lives for no fault of their own |

ya it IS a sick and sad world whats even sadder is that things never change... i mean fuck, things just repeat themselves over and over again.. we never seem to learn read through a history book then turn on the news on tv THEY"RE THE EXACT SAME THING!! only the superficial details have changed.. the underlying STUPID human behavior is the same.. .... it doesn't exactly inspire much hope for the future |

You mean Srebrenica? Our government has just quit because of that millitary fiasco. Dutchbat didn't get enough support to fight Mladic. It's really sad because these people could have been saved if the millitary protection was better organised. It was a massacre 2x as big as when the WTC-tower collapsed and people still wanted to bury the truth :( |

Yeah, I think it was very noble of them to stand down, at least they didn't weasle out of it. Just because American's died in WTC they are supposed to be worth more and more action is taken. :/ |

This is all because of the First World War. WW1 called for the Treaty of Versailles to be signed (meaning great loses in Germany and Europe, and new countries made e.g. Czechoslovakia), the Tof V caused the rise of the Nazis, Hitler's invasions and such caused the WW2, WW2 caused more new countries to be made e.g. Bosnia, Israel... there u go! |
