Today a blast in my city Quetta occurred and it didn't even make national or local news. Only by word of mouth do I know. This is not the first time and no one in the country or world cares. Since 2001 thousands upon thousands have died in my city and province Balochistan. Children have died so have women and young men and old and no one cares. If this many deaths occurred anywhere else I assure you you would know but it feels like out lives don't matter. More people have died in my city alone due to terrorism then probably the whole of Europe and USA combined but no one cares. Don't know how many replies I'll get or how many of you will care but the world will still not care. Don't know how why I wrote this thread but I noticed the French one and thought why are some humans seen as more important then others. These anger me because of the fact that this is so close to my heart

I'm sorry, but you're not important to most people.

 

I recall when my own people(from Jerusalem) were bombed during the 2 month blastings. Only when it became viral did people care. Before and after the blastings, you don't see people cry about it at all. They just say 'oh well' and tell people in a far worse condition than them to appreciate their life.

 

Same with the hundreds of countries constantly abused by foreign governments and their own government. When you're not first world, people will ignore you and just push it away.

 

That's life for you. I didn't care at all for the Charle Hebdo attack. Sure, 10 people, boohoo, but people act like they truly care about these issues when they don't give a shit in reality. No one talks about the countless slaves that still exist. Barely any feminist organizations in America talk about the girls that are stuck in child trafficking, forced marriage, rape, and so on. No one talks about the families who hang onto donations due to natural disasters. No one discusses how western countries went ahead and ruined the middle east. BLM doesn't talk about how being white is actually superior in countries like China. Nationalists never discuss how their own country is probably responsible for the deaths of thousands. The list goes on and on.

 

 

People are hypocrites.

Quetta isn't a country. It is one of the largest cities in Pakistan. If I recall, it's the sixth largest.

It is located South of Afghanistan, in the country of Pakistan. Quetta is a (was) beautiful city when I visited it, but that was in the 90s. Pakistan actually suffers a lot from Taliban insurgents, and cannot effectively deal with them.

Sorry again!

Nice to see you care. Most people don't even try to learn.

As you said more people die in your city from such attacks then the west combined. That means such attacks are commonplace.

The reason Nice and Paris attacks were reported so heavily is because such attacks are uncommon and devastating to the people.

It is sad that as the attacks become more common people are desensitized to death around that area, but it is sad truth.
