Well this is sorta untrue - and prime example is this thread.
1 page back - 30 people die in Turkey - literally not one response in this thread.
34 people die in Belgium - many responses and a who new thread dedicated to it.
We are halfway there to us not blowing the stories out of proportion- as we only care about innocents dying from terrorism in certain countries.
