It's an incredible story, but a lot of people don't care about South America.

My girlfriend is from Bolivia, so I'm a little more in tune with it than I used to be. Otherwise, though, most Americans don't think about the place much. We're inundated with terrible news from around the globe, and this continent doesn't happen to be where we're fighting any wars, etc. It's just largely out of our national spotlight.
It's great to hear about the rescue, though. I'm pretty sure it would make even more news if it were in West Virginia, but the same complaints could still be raised. I'd like to chalk this one up to people being starved for good news. I can't really blame them.
I'm likely headed to Peru and Bolivia next year, so I'm trying to learn what I can. One of the miners was Bolivian, too, so the gf was quick to give me details on that one.

The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

Is it awful of me that I don't really give a crap about this mine rescue business?

Well, everyone knows you're a hateful bitch, so I'm not surprised you'd react the same way.

There is no law that says what has to float your boat and you are a bad person if it doesn't.

Lucky you. Given that you described it as "managed to avoid" the story, you're totally HBC material. *NM*

No, people just need to stop considering life "reality TV. "

Tell your friend you'll feel compassionate after you bludgeon her to death for her sassy mouth. *NM*

It has nothing to do with the fact that it invovles brown people thousands of miles away.

Yeah. That's why I said the same complaints would be raised if it were in West Virginia.
