If you're standing beside a highway and cars are driving by at 80 miles an hour and you decide it's a good idea to walk out in front of one, I'd have more sympathy for you than I would her. Because I'd think to myself, wow, that guy has SERIOUS fricking issues to walk willingly to his death. You'd still have reason on your side though, because you know that if you walk into that road, you're GOING to die. For some reason, the idiots that think it's a good idea to leave the US and try to change the culture in the middle east haven't figured that it's not going to end well...or they are too stupid or self righteous to care. Regardless...I don't care.


Some people are called to do good. Even in the face of enormous odds, some people are driven to help. They have a servants heart, and it is a special, precious gift they share with others.

She's not an idiot, she's not stupid, and you're not caring says a great deal about you as a person. I swear I honestly feel very sorry and sad for you. I hope you get help with whatever is making you view the world like you do.

No, he pointed out that terrorists exploit religion. People have always used religion to justify bad deeds. Nothing new, nothing factually inaccurate. He wasn't justifying their actions.



He was morally equating their actions because it is a knee jerk reaction for people like him.

Jesus Christ, stop it.

Nobody said the Bible tells someone to do these things, they are saying that people have used the Bible and religion to justify them doing these things.


Go back to Hannity.

I wasn't aware that infant mortality and crop production in the United States were anywhere close to being issues that needed attention...oh...because they aren't. And yeah, if she went to Syria as an activist, she pretty much deserved it. Sorry. Zero sympathy.


Pretty sure she was there as an aid worker and not an activist. Either way I'm betting she wasn't killing any ISIS so GFY. She didn't deserve this.

Something stupid with Syria, I don't really remember, but she was attempting to be some sort of activist.



Going to help people that are way less fortunate than you is "stupid"? She got captured back in like 2013.

I have no qualms with people who go into war zones to help, so long as they understand and appreciate that there may be no SEAL team coming to the rescue just because they carry a US passport.

I respect them, actually.

God, now I know why I stay off the poli board.



Has Obama taken credit for gas prices going back up recently?

Your ignorance continues to shine like a beacon of hopelessness to which so many Americans seek harbor only to have their ships smashed amongst the rocks.

Our Infant Mortality Rate is a National Embarrassment
quote:

The United States has a higher infant mortality rate than any of the other 27 wealthy countries, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control.
Over 6 in a 1000 infants die before the age of 1 in America.

I don't know what Obama said about infant mortality rate, but cutting it down is a big deal.

Perhaps link to an article or report regarding your concerns and I can alleviate some of them and justify the others, because clearly you cannot think for yourself.

Looks like this argument is over if you're going to change the subject to Obama misdeeds. Look, I didn't vote for Obama, this is one of the few things about which I agree with him. You just need to realize that not everything the man says is the word of the devil.

Actually, you'd probably have more luck on the poli with your debate and reasoning skills.

He pointed out that at various times, certain atrocities have been carried out in the name of Jesus. This is undeniable.


It's also completely irrelevant and a not so subtle attempt to group Christians in with ISIS.

Then he pointed out that since that line of thinking holds for Christianity, it should also hold for Islam.


The problem is, people are too stupid to understand or use context, and people take his words as way to compare today's Christians to ISIS

You must be barely functioning as an adult. Gas prices have zero to do with Obama. Anyone with half a fricking brain understands that.

I don't agree with what he said either, but WTF does that have to do with Rush Limbaugh?

And yet he very recently took credit for gas prices being lower. I know he has nothing to do with the price. But he sure took credit for it




But please, keep going.

I view the world the way I do because of the way the world is. You acted like I killed her. I didn't. I'm just not a fan of intelligent people throwing their lives away. There are plenty of Americans dying that need help. Just like there are plenty of homeless, hungry Americans that need help. But for some reason people would rather run off and do for the rest of the world, that HATES us by the way, than help out here at home. And it makes no sense to me.

I'm guessing its from teenage pregnancies mostly. Ones that can't afford adequate care. To me that seems like a cultural issue among certain parts of this country.

Really? So if he pulled the military out of the middle east and also had our navy stop patrolling shipping lanes gas prices would stay the same?

Sad to say but you're probably right. Once you're caught your best outcome is probably a quick death

This may come off as sounding harsh or wrong, but I would sleep better at night knowing my daughter was dead versus being alive and tortured and raped by those asshats
