Oh yes, that we feel for us and for those who are like us is the name of the game! No matter where we go, there are people showing the extreme sadness and sorrow for their loved ones and for the members of their sect, tribe or religious bent...just shortly after they themselves went on a murderous rampage against those from other sect,tribe or religious bent. And they had no tears in their eyes nor did they lose sleep over it.
This might be the name of the game but not with you, Ziem. This is why I look forward reading this blog.
America needs a 12-step program for xenophobes.
I agree Noosance.
Pekka, my friend, you are just too sweet!
My mother-in-law made a comment that I found interesting. She said, "I can't sleep, I keep thinking about those poor people in Virginia."
I wonder how much of this mentality is linked with the Iraqi's = terrorists repetition? Could it be that we think ourselves so civil, so moral that we can't feel for anyone but ourselves? Are we that ever so high and mighty?
My heart goes out to the families, friends and all loved ones of the VT victims, I found that headline as sickening and disturbing as I did, and do, seeing the daily death toll of Iraqi's and our troops. Why don't "they"?
I agree. VA Tech is the headline every day to the most minute detail. Lazy investigative reporters who want to sit home and google their stories and then get their Iraq info from the Bushites. I'm disgusted with them all.
Isn't it the truth? The complacency ticks me off.
Oh, BTW.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for not having those horrid word verification thingies here at your place. I swear I have to retype them 4-5 times before I hit the magic combo. I have virtually stopped going to the sites that use them.
So, thanks!!!
Ironic/moronic that violence is disgusting only when it happens here in the US, but not elsewhere killing innocents, like Iraq and elsewhere around the world? ; (
I think people have been so desensitized to the violence in iraq. Of course this desensitization is what leads to young people shooting each other as well. They see our "leaders" solving problems with violence, so they do the same.
