Don't you hate it when a tragedy happens and someone just has to make a reference to Africa? I mean it isn't American news plus if a thousand kids in Africa starve to death it wouldn't be practical to go on the news every single day and announce
''a thousand kids in Africa died earlier today''
it's also more tragic for an explosion to kill a bunch of people over starvation to kill a bunch of people, I show sympathy for Africa but come on, explosions in marathons don't happen everyday, think about it.

The media appeals to emotion a lot. Just move on with your life.

It's okay if a small number of people die as long as a larger number of people die sometime close

I don't know how you can even determine what makes a tragedy worse than another

If you die from an explosion, your limbs are likely to be blown right off your body and you see your own guts fly everywhere

If you die from starvation, you get skinny and slowly die a painful death

@rosky

With that

Wouldn't starvation be worse? Wouldn't an explosion instantly kill you? You probably wouldn't even see the aftermath. Lots of people who survive explosions are left blind.

I think it's more tragic to live in constant poverty and die a painful death probably over several months, than to die almost instantly in an explosion (or even live without a limb).

''Wouldn't starvation be worse?''

It wouldn't be as painful that's for sure

''Wouldn't an explosion instantly kill you? You probably wouldn't even see the aftermath.''

Even if your limbs are blown off you can still see things around 3 seconds before death

''Lots of people who survive explosions are left blind.''

Yeah, and that's terrible

You don't die instantly from an explosion, you lose your vision after 3-4 seconds the explosion hits you

and like I said, it's a waste of time to say thousands of people just died in Africa everyday on American news, when everyone knows thousands of people in Africa are dying

and it's stupid to call us Americans ''selfish'' when we're trying to help Africa out of poverty, despite our government

"It wouldn't be as painful that's for sure"

I think you really don't know how starvation works.

I'd rather die with horrible agony for three seconds, than constant pain from starvation for three months. And that's neglecting the other effects of perpetual poverty on a person. If you'd rather die from starvation, you either enjoy pain or don't fully understand the situation.

I never said you would. Don't start setting up strawmen to knock down, this is a real issue, not some debate class exercise.

"and it's stupid to call us Americans ''selfish'' when we're trying to help Africa out of poverty, despite our government"

Again, I never disagreed with this. Quit with your strawmen.

No, no, no. You get hit by an explosion, you see the damage it did to your body (limbs blown off leaving guts and blood vessels lingering out of the spot where your limb use to be) and you have your vision to 3-4 seconds, while you can still move but your vision fades

I agree, starvation is terrible, but it's not as painful. Compare having a skinny body with trouble breathing and pain from lack of food to having your limbs blown off with your blood spilling from you

I wasn't really intending to respond to you from saying that, but okay.

And saying something's more painful than another doesn't always mean it's as bad.

"I agree, starvation is terrible, but it's not as painful."

Okay, so clearly you don't understand the situation fully. You're thinking about it on the same time scale, but what you seem to be failing to understand is that starvation takes a LOT longer. To give some perspective, 3 months is about 2,592,000 (2.5 mil) times longer than 3 seconds. Two and a half MILLION. And we've just been talking about physical pain from hunger pangs, neglecting your inability to move for the last stint of your starvation, and your lack of a functioning immune system, the fact that your body destroys any fat you have, then your muscles, then your own internal organs to try to keep itself alive. For months, you have to watch yourself become weaker and weaker, and literally watch your own body essentially eat itself alive each and every day. No sane and intelligent person can understand what starvation does to a person, and honestly say that being killed quickly by an explosion is worse.

Well, pain from an explosion lasts 4-5 seconds, and if you seriously think starving for 4-5 seconds is more painful, something is wrong with you.
