I'm not sure where you get that from. Most certainly not. We're still in an age of empires anyway.

Well what would you have the West do about it? it sounds like you are complaining about the Wests inaction ...

If only Woolies had issued those product recalls earlier.

The papers were going to put in something about the 27,000. But it got bumped by a story about Mrs McCann painting a fingernail.

Toenail, I think. Fingernail would have made page 2.

what would you do?

It's because it's not newsworthy. ie. it doesn't relate to the people who pay for newspapers or other media.

Which version? IV was the best one.......

What?

what would you do?

Do about what? About the fact that 27000 children die every day or about the fact that it's not news or about the fact that nobody cares?

1. Nothing, so long as it's not me or my family, why should I care?
2. Nothing, the news is all selected by crazed right-wing nutters or crazed left-wing nutters. You cannot possibly know about everything that happens in the world, so why bother if it doesn't affect you?
3. Nothing. Nobody gives a ****.
