The below article is a pretty repulsive list of a lot of hideous things that have happened in the last few years. I hope we are not completely lost.

Probably the most horrific thing I've heard of over the last few years was the poor child whose step father boiled her to death in a scalding hot bath tub, holding that poor baby in the water screaming until it went into shock, and then died with third degree burns a week or so later.

Mother was in the other room.

But we shouldn't kid ourselves. These types of horrific things happened before, we just didn't have a 24 hour media cycle.

Humans are an evolved great ape, and our technology has outpaced our instincts.

What makes a person human is the very ability to do things that are beyond your own instinctive thoughts. Strangers child is in the middle of the road and going to be hit by a bus. A total stranger throws himself in front of the bus to push her out of the way. He dies. How was that, not his child, not his family, doesn't even know them, an act of instinct? I'm pretty sure T-Rex didn't start sacrificing itself for the good of the community.

I clicked the link.

Good Lord, that is some juvenile, badly written, poorly disguised propagandist drivel.

No wonder we have so many scared, ignorant people in this country, a steady diet of that crap will do it.

I saw something after 9-11 and called the cops! Went like this:

COPS: Chicago 911 what is your emergency?
ME: I just saw 3 Arab looking guys talking in Docks
COPS: And?
ME: Well they are Arabs. They might be planning a bombing or something
COPS: Did you hear them planning a bombing?
ME: Well no but I don't understand the lanaguage
COPS: So what makes you think they are planning a bombing?
ME: Because they are 3 Arabs hanging out in a fish joint talking so they must be conspiring something
COPS: Have a good day sir!

Is that site paying 5th graders to write for them? The only thing worse than the title made from two declarative statements was the actual content, if you could call it that.

For real. Both Al Qaeda and North Korea really seem to have lost their edge lately.

We know that Obama has a heart towards the muslims because he is one.. Obama is not Christian that is for certain..

The muslims who want to destroy us are all coddled by our president. It is quite obvious by his language.. Obama and his reactions and words are weakness and is bringing more death to us.. that 8 year old little boy could have been anyones child if they had decided to go to Boston for the marathon.. one never knows when the next terrorist is going to strike.. that is the cowardice of terrorism.. just kill randomly anyone with a bomb or airplane , or train, or subway or passerby.. don't matter, just kill the innocent who are in the path of the terrorist..

The muslim world does not speak out against it.. that is the real problem because inside themselves they wanted to be a terrorist too and kill us all.
