Do you guys compare more recent tragedies to some past event to try to gauge the level of atrocity? When 9/11 happened did people in the UK say this is 6 times worse than the troubles or some shit? Or is that just an American thing?

Its a weird place to live. When Homer wants the other Itchy and Scratchy characters to ask where Poochie is every time he's not on screen is our standard understanding of international events. White America is the Poochie of countries in that we were a late addition and everyone wishes we'd go back to our home planet
