Like I have said on another thread,
All of our prayers, thoughts and good hopes go to those affected by all of the recent tragedies.

I am going to lock this topic now, not because these terrible events are taboo, but I do not believe that we should debate why/how this happened.
We should, however, think of those affected, their families, and those who we love and cherish.
Keep the memory in your heart.
Many people are donating blood, I would suggest not donating blood for a month or so if this was planned.

Thanks.

I wish good luck to those injured in having a full recovery. I really wish I could have been there to take the blow for one of those poor people. Living in England,this didn't come to me until about a day later so I did not know sooner. This happens too much in America in my opinion. It should happen here in England more to give those poor Americans a rest (Technically I just insulted myself).

P.S. I did not mean to be rude or insulting.

Why doesn't this get as much media Coverage?

“West EMS Director Dr. George Smith says as many as 60 or 70 people died and hundreds were injured Wednesday night in a fertilizer plant explosion in West,” KWTX reports.

Well, all that aside, what about the explosion in Texas?

The Boston Globe is reporting "blood everywhere after powerful explosions rip through crowd at Boston Marathon finish line."

Terrible news. What is the world coming to?

Snowlips on that post I agree 100% no matter who did it or how it happened it's a tragedy and it's a shame we live in a world where this happens.

I like you dictionary.com definition.
I'm actually on you side, garthur, by the way. I haven't been "brainwashed" by the media, I haven't even seen mediacoverage of it, I don't tend to watch the news that often. And yes, people should start gathering the facts about it instead of believeing everything the TV says. But regardless, it's still a tragedy, and one that will take time to heal. No matter the location, or the size, or the media attention, a tragedy is still a targedy.

Terrorism
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes
a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government
systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some goal

The only reason this may or may not have caused "wide spread terror" is because the ignorant areas of media drove it into your brain that it was a terrorist act, although it could be anything but. Many people said it was Al'Queda even though they have absolutely no proof of that, you hear bomb, people say Al'Queda and start blaming Muslim extremists and others from the Middle East without knowing anything at all.

I'm not trying to start a big debate here, but I think people need to step back and gather the facts before they start forming a concrete opinion and then sticking to it till the end. Too many people get brainwashed by media sources that report first and ask questions later and get misinformed. A big problem today is that most of the population is too stupid to know who's dumb, and that is something that should cause wide spread terror.

My heart goes out to anyone who was at or connected with the Boston Marathon, but please people, get some more information before you go off on a tangent.

macgarthur. Just because it involves a bomb doesn't immediately make it a terrorist act.

Any act that causes "wide spread terror" is terrorism, whether it's intended to be or not, regardless of a persons mental health.

This was an act of terrorism whether you like it or not. I am almost positive that they will find that whoever did it was trying to get a message across, which is basically what terrorism means. Terrorism is using acts of terror for coercion. I am really shocked at how a civilian event like this could have been attacked. It just shows that we are never truly safe, even in our own country.

I just saw something like that at my school(In Real Life)
So Sad

That's very nice. I like it.

poop terrorism

Not being rude just breaking balls, what I'm saying is true though. Sorry if it came across as rude, some people just need to lighten up a bit.

Just saw this on the news. I live in England, so I just found out.

I hope everyone over there is OK

That's what they said about the Boston marathon though...

A very sad tragedy indeed.
We should all pray to God that everyone that was injured make a full recovery...

If someone drops TNT on a monument like that, I would call them a minecraft Terrorist and then chase them down. I am going to make this monument on every Survival world I play in, and on ever server that I play on...

(What texture pack are you using as well? I was just curios, not wanting to be rude or anything...)

That's a great idea until some kid drops TNT all over it...

This.

May all the members of the accident get a full recovery

......

I saw the bomb go off.... Then I saw a ton of blood,some disguisting sights.... Then i ran
