The “I don’t care” crowd could be the rest of the world, that use messaging apps instead of SMS or iMessages. Try to consider this factor first. Not everything should be centered in America, or exclusively to what happens there.
I understand that. But that doesn't have anything to do with my point, which is that if someone doesn't care about this issue, they don't need to show how much they don't care.
In fact, I would argue that your general sentiment -- that of considering others in different situations than oneself -- applies more to the people acting like this topic doesn't matter because it doesn't affect them personally.
Guess you’re right. I’m not justifying them, but trying to put a bit of light into why a lot of people don’t care. I’m not the kind of person to express such a moot opinion, but I guess some people get tired of seeing a conversation that only affects only a portion of people and feel the need to express their feelings. Again, I’m the kind to remain silent, but there are all kinds of people out there.
