Never mind, my sister just explained it to me. It's because all of you internalize this, thinking about yourselves. You think of your own children and your own schools. You don't give a fuck about the spindly brown children who live in the desert because they don't make you think of yourselves.
This is not actual empathy, it's fear for your own safety. You're actually selfish fucks pretending to give a shit about someone else.

im glad she could clear that up for you, since you are obviously so dim-witted that you dont understand a basic human emotion. yes part of my empathy revolves around the fact that i am a father. you know because i put myself in the shoes of those parent's who lost their kids and it makes me feel sad for them. EMPATHY. i feel the same loss anytime i read one of these stories, so dont assume that just because people want to mourn this tragedy and not another that we are somehow "selfish." if anything blame the media for not bringing more attention to the other problems in the world. dont blame the people just are trying to make sense out of such a horrific act of violence.
oh and the difference between this and say, kids dying in afganistan due to war. is that this was a planned out and executed attack on CHILDREN. we dont go to afganistan dropping bombs with the intention of killing children, we know it might happen but its a necessary risk when talking about war. you cannot compare the act of a military operation to the act of one depraved individual. they arent even on the same fucking level and its weak comparison at best.
