lol I'm in the USA and I agree w/you oddly enough. I'm not
  worried though. I remember when the school bombings seemed to be
  a 'thing' in the US. Now, living here, *I knew* that these were
  flukes; statistically insignificant events.

  But I knew people who wouldn't even COME to the USA because,
  from overseas, it appeared that the USA had school bombings
  everywhere. I had to laugh. Media really knows how to make the
  world appear so dramatic. But reality is typically far more
  boring than TV. It's also why I don't get excited about 'stuff
  from the middle east' - the BBC is the worst offender here but
  we do it in the USA as well.

  I know people who live in these "war torn areas" and of course,
  it's nothing like the news. People wake up, go to work, send
  their kids to school and life is normal except for certain parts
  of town that you "just don't go to".

  Same everywhere just about.

  Of course growing up, I thought Northern Ireland was just one
  big bombed crater. But no, just bad neighborhoods in otherwise
  nice cities.
