Czech Republic, not Chechnya

As I'm proud to be Czech, I really hate all the misunderstandings around the Boston bomb attack from past few days.

I understand that people might not know where exactly our republic lies (I wouldn't be able to place all American states either), but is it so hard to remember we're peaceful European country? Or at least google it before writing about it? *sigh*

Yes, but that would imply that people are thoughtful and care about facts/their work. It also prevents people from making blatantly ridiculous, racist, and insane comments.

Why would people, particularly Americans and particularly the American media, do *that*?



There are times when my country sickens me.

It's just too bad that a stupid, ignorant crowd tends to be the loudest.
