this shit is so f`ing horrific.....so many lives changed forever...

they`re saying that two died(one a child)...others horribly maimed.......the atlantic has a picture collage that really brings it home...we`re all adults and i suggest that you not look at the picture that has the disclaimer(you can`t un-see something like that)........

hope theres a special place in hell for the people responsible....

Sad that this is the world we live in

I saw that too, and that's how we have to feel about these type of things.
You can't stop living, and having a little bit of faith in humanity.

And as scary as this type of stuff is, there are far worse things happening, even in our own country.
Not suggesting we are spending a disproportionate amount of time/attention/emotion on the Boston bombing, because obviously it is a big deal. But, how many other murders, accidents, war deaths etc. were there yesterday?

Especially when I read something like what "the addict" said about not going to movie theaters or sports events. I don't have kids, so I can't fully understand the protective shell you try to put around them, but the odds of being harmed in either of those settings is exponentially less than dying in a car accident on the way to school. Perspective is pretty important I'd say.

I think i understand how you feel. But, if we stop running marathons, going to movies and rooting for our favorite teams in person, then the terrorists win

this.

changing the way you live and not doing things because you are terrified of what might happen is exactly what they want. cant let that happen and let them win by changing the way we live and function.

And he was making such progress too. Maybe next week a movie about a Saudi will come out and hedgie will tell us 50 times how great it was.

I do not want others to feel like they need to stop.

I agree, I think it is a big FUCK YOU to these people if we continue to go on living and loving life in this beautiful place we call home...




but, atleast until this is out of my mind, I just do not ever ever want my family or any of your families to be in the pictures on CNN or the write-ups on the internets to honor victims...

there is no way to predict when or where the next crazy thing will happen.....Sandy hook, columbine, boston........so random....




I made a promise to her the day she was brought into this world as her father, to protect her from evil, in any and all forms....

I have no clue how to do that in regards to these fucking disgusting people, other then keep her away from populated areas...




I would absolutely be lost. lost. I mean lost if something happened, and it was because I took her to some event...



slow deaths are awaiting all these people. at least I hope so.

of course youd try and turn something like this political. you are a real piece of work. does that cement you have for brains ever post a thought that is your own or do you just specialize in links to youtube videos?

on second thought I guess posting unoriginal thoughts would be better for you since we know how well your original thoughts usually turn out. "OUTLAW" thats it right? :0074

I dont have kids but I'd think this would really screw someone up. you cant just shelter your kid and not let them experience the real world because you are scared of it. you are going to deprive your kid of stuff because once every 10 years theres a terrorist attack or something?

there are terrible people in this world that do terrible things. trying to hide that from your daughter and not let her do things because of the bad guys is no way to go about living. you just want to live in fear your whole life?
