Oh is it, I hadn't thought of that.

Can't believe your post! Keep it in perspective? Really?”
What's wrong with showing some perspective?

More than 20,000 people are murdered across Europe, on average, each year. While these attacks may induce terror in some it should be comforting to know that they are a drop in the ocean.
And before anyone implies that I'm not showing respect/compassion/whatever
it ought to go without saying that the lives taken by murderers are a tragic loss and I feel for the families of those affected by tragedy.
