A coroner has condemned the "shabby" actions of people who took mobile phone photographs of a teenage girl after she jumped from a multi-storey car park.
"This was a child's life and you were taking photos on your mobile phones”

A sad reflection on some of our society.. Perhaps reality shows are to blame for this sad and ghoulish behaviour.

I feel may be daily watching and hearing all the horrible crime stories, violence etc in news have made us insensitive. There was a time when a news of bomb blast used to be scary, now its just another news.

I dont agree that we lost our humanity, this is down to individual behaviour and relatively new media infulence on oportunistic pparazzi wanna be's

We use the word 'lost' for something which we had and it went missing..."humane side" ...doesnt fit into that definition when talking of human beings.

last evening on AlJazeeraIntl i watched this report about a milk in china growing breasts in infants or something... and earlier i heard this product called 'kurkure' from india had aluminium or something in it to make it more crunchy....

it was okay to watch the movie kill bill but nowadays people are ready to kill for bill ... not funny no.

Pretty much the same here when you see a car wreck. Same in Pakistan when that plane recently crashed, same world over. Shame on society :o(
