*sigh* It's getting harder and harder to ignore these threads... it feels like I can't wake up a single day without news like these. Why can't people just mind their own business? All this crap will never make any sense to me... and it feels like it's only getting worse, too.

All in all, it's always good to remember that you live on a planet of 7 billion. The news carefully cherrypicks all the absolute worst incidents they can find, on a daily basis - and among 7 billion, they will find SOMETHING. As a whole, though, we live in a wonderful, peaceful, safe era.
