I think the poster wanted to show the contrast between a series of coordinated attacks across Iraq which have killed many and 2 explosions in Boston killing 3.

I think the poster wanted to show the contrast between a series of coordinated attacks across Iraq which have killed many and 2 explosions in Boston killing 3. Both are obviously terrible events, but one got more attention by a factor of at least 1000. It's just good to keep in perspective things that are going on elsewhere in the world.

- k_wisniewski 13y agoI know what the author of this post aimed for, I agree with his point of view, but still I believe that HN should only contain some tech or startup related topics. I read HN since nearly a year now, and I see more and more people misunderstanding its purpose. Or maybe it's me who don't get it.
