and your wrong. the world sees videos all the time on CNN and elsewhere of wholesale genocide. Rwanda was the best example... 2,000,000 men, women and children being butchered to death... piles of little kids arms and legs etc etc.. and it barely makes the news. The UN wouldn't even call it genocide because that would have meant getting involved by law. people don't give a fuck when its actual people suffering... people don't give a fuck when they are watching news reports of Darfur and people being raped and tortured and killed daily. people don't care when Somalians are starving to death, UN aid is going to warlords. people don't care when their engagement ring kills little kids in Sierra Leone... but god forbid... god forbid some dolphins get killed for food in Japan. now thats serious. thats a REAL problem. we need to get right on that. we need to boycott Japan because God knows... the Emporor will be forced to send letters like "dear gallery submitter, please buy more CD players.. your sadly pathetic and symbolic fake protest, feel good boycott is destroying one of the largest economies on the planet".

First problem is that you are generalizing everyone in one group. Sure there are people that don't give a fuck but there are plenty of people that do. Why do you think there are so many support groups and support aids? There are people all over the world that see these horrible events and DO something about it. Where do you get off mother fucking everyone? I don't sit around playing Halo and eating doritos and getting fat. I'm quite the opposite. I run marathons and eat healthy. I get just as upset when I see people suffering as I do when I see animals suffering.
The point is that there are some things that shouldn't be done or they should be done differently. I'll get pissed off all day when I see videos like this. Just like I get pissed off when I see seals being clubbed or cattle getting their necks sliced open. I don't care if its cute or ugly. I don't even kill bugs in my house, I catch them and put them outside. So stop assuming that I am one of those people that don't give a fuck about the other problems in our world. I have a heart and I do care and I do things about it.
What do you do? Besides rant on a chatboard about how everyone is a fat dorito eater?
