Incredible. Comparing 2 posts.

The first is to snark about a multi-pierced person, the second info about supply getting into Burma. Yes, I am the author of both, thought perhaps people might be interested in Burma news, but we are all having fun snarking. Still, I find it incredible.

1. I have a theory.

Some problems seem so big that many can barely wrap their heads around them. They can be too emotional, too complex, or just too frightening to think about, and many don't even know what to say or where to begin.

I don't think it's always fair to assume a lack of response equals a lack of concern.

2. That is my theory also, and I am guilty of the same.

I look often, don't reply, but seems the Burma info didn't even get a look. Being uppity here. Maybe I need a nap as it all is too much. Or a bath, then a nap. Thanks for the input and yup.

3. Know what you mean, have noticed the same thing here many times.

Went over and did a rec on it, no comment. However, it is good news that they are going to finally be a little more cooperative about getting the relief to their people. Sounds like a horrific regime and I really am not that familiar with the country up until the cyclone.

Unfortunately, there are way too many of those types in the world, one is too many for the conditions they put their people in.

Thanks for bringing this up, very true, I do think this site has progressed a little more to trivial matters and fighting than it used to be like.
