another sleepy day
Hello, today I read an online news(click here to read) about a man throwing a burning cigarette into a stroller where there was a baby inside.

>Why is this article considered appropriate for publication in an online newspaper?
I think, because this was such a horrible news, an adult throwing a cigarette into a baby car just because he was frustrated by the weather.In this case, the baby just got burnt by the cigarette, still it may be a serious injury for a four-months-year-old baby, but the baby could have been in even more serious trouble, such as losing it's sight.

>my reaction to it
This is a horrible incident. The man could have deprived it's sight from the innocent baby, because of his unappropriate behavior. He should be sorry for doing such a foolish thing, and also should be sorry for all smokers, to have brought down the status of other smokers. Though I don't like cigarette smokes, I don't care about people smoking as long as they take responsibility of their ownselves and keep the smoking manners. Such people who doesn't care about manners should be strictly banished.

very sleepy today..
obviously I should go to bed more earlier :p

Does "horrible news" deserve a place in the newspaper? If so, do all horrible actions deserve a place?

What is the difference between real news and fluff?

Do you think this story is just as important as other news in Japan/the world?

I think you are right about people keeping their manners when they smoke, and that people who doesn't should be strictly banished.

@Philip
I thought about the news a little more.
Not just horrible, but so that other people will notice how dangerous could a cigarette could be. It may also make people think of other things that might cause accidents. In that way, I think it was appropriate.

I care about smokers even if they are following the smoking manners. I like black clothes but I don't want my lungs to be black by the secondhand smokimg.
