Twitter isn't worth much, it's a tool for foolish people to act extremely stupid.

People are homeless from the earthquake but selfish people don't want to be bothered.
Some day they too will experience something bad and they will find out how much others don't care.

I don't recall which one of the black kids that was slaughtered by the police, was it Laquan MacDonald that was shot 16 times in the back and no one seems to have any sympathy for this kid they talked about the outrage of the dentist that slaughtered the lion. That killing went around the world, and people should feel remorse about what happened to that lion...but the humanity, people don't appear to care about the humanity.

but Taiwan would need a much higher death count to draw even a fraction of the attention given to the Tsunami...

But I get your point...
