401 | 92 | p029 | This is a horrible tragedy. They didn't give the age of the boy, but either way it is horrific for him and the family. Imagine the horror of being trapped in a tiny well for hours and hours until finally you die. I imagine you would dehydrate and it would be extremely painful and scary. It's sad that no one got to him in time. I am also heartbroken for the family, how terrible. I'm sure this is the kind of thing no one ever expects to happen. Why was no one watching him? | p029_401 |
402 | 92 | p030 | I just read a story about a Chinese boy who went missing and five days later was found dead at the bottom of a well. Apparently, he had been harvesting vegetables with his father. My question is, if you know that you have a well on your property and your son simply vanishes, wouldn't that be the first place that you look? | p030_402 |
403 | 92 | p048 | Isn't it scary that so many bad things can happen to children and adults these days? After reading the article about a young boy falling in to a well and being found dead after 5 days, I can't even imagine the horror the boy faced but also the pain that his parents have to endure for the rest of their lives. It's quite sad and unavoidable at times. I highly doubt his father could have ever imagined his son falling into the well that they probably work at every day. | p048_403 |
404 | 92 | p019 | This story is so sad! I can't imagine the horror and pain that the boy suffered in his last moments of life... It must have been so scary to be there all alone, proibably knowing or feeling that you are going to die. And then I also feel bad for the workers trying to get to him... how devastating must it have been to find him dead. | p019_404 |
405 | 92 | p029 | This is so sad to read. What a horrible tragedy for everyone involved - the boy himself, his parents, his family, his community. It must have been a terrible and very scary way to die to be trapped in that well shaft for four days. Also, the parents must have been beside themselves, I mean can you imagine? It just sounds completely horrific and with such a terrible ending too. It would have been much different if they had been able to rescue him but clearly that was not possible. Overall this is a nightmare situation and one that no one should have to suffer. | p029_405 |
406 | 331 | p019 | This story is just depressing. Why can a country as advanced as the US be advanced in gender equality as well. As a women in the workforce it just is depressing to even think about. Why can't equal wages be discovered and demanded? It can't be that hard. And why can't more opportunity be given to women? | p019_406 |
407 | 331 | p068 | Being a woman myself i find this article very troubling. With all the movements and awareness and activisim for women in america we should be number one in all gender equality categories. I think less women are working or making it to senior positions because in todays society alot of women are shamed for working to hard and not having children. It's also apparent its still a man world with women on average making 50 percent less then men so there is not much motivation to go higher. I think with more focus on girls and stem learning our next generation of women will feel very empowered in math science and technology a place alot of women lack it. The future deinitly gives me hope for my gender to succeed. | p068_407 |
408 | 331 | p030 | I just read an article from a couple years ago about the U.S. ranking in comparison to other countries with regard to gender equality. It turns out our backward little country has slipped down to 48th in the international rankings. Am I surprised? No. Will things get worse before they get better? Yes. | p030_408 |
409 | 331 | p019 | I hate reading these kinds of articles!! The unfair pay for women is so annoying. It's crazy that it is even still a thing with how much attention has been brought to it over the last couple of years. It's like people just dont care. Or at least the people in charge don't care. Probably because it would effect their paycheck | p019_409 |
410 | 331 | p010 | It's the 21st century and we have barely moved women. USA has slipped to 45th and we have African countries ahead of us. For the past 100 years, it's all politics and government and who is going to win. Definitely not for equality or fairness to genders. I had a job in career that compared identically to a man's and he was paid 40% more than me. You can't express it or you get fire because almost every state is an at-will state. | p010_410 |
411 | 112 | p035 | I do not like reading stories like this one. It makes me think about my use of fuel and it is hard to point the finger at somebody else damaging the environment. I think as humans we have a long way to go in figuring our the right balance between how we us the resources of the earth and how we respect the other animals on this planet. | p035_411 |
412 | 112 | p068 | these poor animals that have to live in this oil spill. It is so unfair that many marine and bird species die at the hands of oil accidents and carelessness. There needs to be more policies in place to prevent these things from happening and more resources and procedures to make sure they are cleaned up fast and efficiently. it is sad that these animals probably died from lacking the ability to move or breathe but also there food sources taken away from them. It is scary that endangered species are also being effected as once there gone there never coming back and an oil spill is such a silly way for that to even happen. | p068_412 |
413 | 112 | p030 | I just read about a tugboat that spilled a significant amount of oil off the coast of England. There's a lot of talk about automating cars, what about boats? It seems like every little bit we hear about another oil spill that has devastated wildlife and killed a bunch a healthy natural aquatic development. Why does it keep happening? Because people just accept it as a fact of life. | p030_413 |
414 | 112 | p062 | I don't really care about this at all. I don't care about herring or abalone or whatever the diesel oil harmed. I think it's ridiculous that the premiere of B.C., of the awful NDP party, would criticize the cleanup crew. I'm sure they did the best they could in difficult conditions. But what do you expect when a ship carrying hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel crashes in a relatively remote part of B.C.? I'm sure the Indians will raise holy hell, since they think they own more than 100% of the province. But what can be done about any of this now other than clean it up and try not to have it happen again. Either way I don't care. | p062_414 |
415 | 112 | p031 | Fell terrible for marine life that will be exterminated by this terrible spill. Humans have harmed so many wonderful species through their carelessness and selfish attitude. I just hope that the clean-up will be fast an effective but unfortunately this type of oil is the most dangerous to these innocent creatures. Makes you think about how vulnerable God made animals-he entrusted us to keep them but I think he had too much faith in humanity! | p031_415 |
416 | 301 | p039 | It is sad that all these kids are overdosing on these drugs it seems like the parents are too dozed out on these pills to pay attention and the part about how heroin overdoses are happening to these kids really shows the state of the country and the use of drugs and how prevalent it has become among people. | p039_416 |
417 | 301 | p022 | I feel so bad for these children after reading the article. It was not their fault at all but rather the fault of the parents who just leave pills laying around everywhere. The parents should be more responsible for their actions knowing that there are children running around. They should be double checking the floors to make sure they didn't drop anything. | p022_417 |
418 | 301 | p073 | This news story is about how more and more kids are overdosing on opioids. They are finding in laying around their house or figuring out how to open bottles. Most of the cases are from parents in the home having prescriptions for the opioid. I think this is so sad and is part of a larger problem of opioid addiction. | p073_418 |
419 | 301 | p022 | I think it's terrible that children are dying because of silly mistakes of parents. The fact that parents can drop something so dangerous like a drug on the ground shows that these parents shouldn't have children in the first place. I think that drugs like these should always be out of reach for children and parents should always check to see if they've dropped anything. | p022_419 |
420 | 301 | p029 | This is so preventable! Why aren't people more careful with their drugs? It's crazy to blame something like this on pharmaceutical companies or anyone other than the drug users themselves, and there is really no excuse for a baby to ever get their hands on someone's medication. Keep it in a cabinet very high up out of reach where the baby can not get to it, no exceptions! This is ridiculous and the majority of the time the person doesn't even need to be taking the drug in the first place. They are just abusing it due to their own addiction or weakness. For shame. | p029_420 |
421 | 133 | p039 | can you believe that they would throw a flamingo on the ground like that I can't believe the things that people will do and flamingos are such majestic birds and such vibrant colors I would be sad to see such a beautiful bird dying I think they should lock that person up for a long period of time to teach a lesson | p039_421 |
422 | 133 | p022 | After reading the article, i felt so bad for the poor flamingo. It was just minding it's own business when the man attacked it and slammed it to the ground. This makes me lose hope for humanity because someone can actually do something like this is terrible. This person should be put in jail or at least fined because of what he has done. | p022_422 |
423 | 133 | p016 | I can't understand why someone would want to attack an animal like that that wasn't harming anyone and was just minding its own business. Like, how insensitive do you have to be to just kill something for fun? I was also surprised the flamingo was sol old; I had no idea they could live to be nineteen. | p016_423 |
424 | 133 | p024 | We need to do more to protect life. The fact that this Flamingo died is mind boggling because it was a visitor that did it. With Busch Gardens considers themselves a serious institution they will most certainly end up having to press charges on this guy it is the least they can do here to be quite honest with you. | p024_424 |
425 | 133 | p019 | I hate reading stories like this... Poor animals made to suffer the abuse of stupid people. I'll never get where people get off hurting a defenseless animal for no reason. Like what did this flamingo ever do to that dude? Why does he think this is ok? I'm sure he suffered some sort of trauma as a child. | p019_425 |
426 | 397 | p039 | It is terrible what is happening to the rivers and the animals I think global warming could be playing a role in the matter the animals are being effected and soon humans will feel the effects of global warming hopefully they get some rain soon and they can save these poor animals facing all this hardships | p039_426 |
427 | 397 | p068 | this is so horribloe because anything that effects animals hurts me to the core. They are innocent victims and cant really help themselves in this situation. I think alot needs to be done to make sure the river is restored and blockage is taken away so that this does not happen in the future. These fish cant move debris themsleves and i thin more light needs to shine down on what is happening so maybe a council can come together and monitor or take over and make sure the fish are in a thriving enviroment. I thin if an enviromental emergency is declared and especially in a poor country other countries should step in and lend a helping hand to lesson the suffering to innocent life. | p068_427 |
428 | 397 | p029 | This sounds like one of those situations where not much can really be done. It's sad for the animals who are dying and suffering and I feel bad for them. I think this is out of anyone's control and really just an act of nature. Sometimes thiings like this just happen and it's sad and a tragedy but no one can do anything to fix it. The animals are the ones that suffer. They are in essence having a drought and starving due to it which is really sad. | p029_428 |
429 | 397 | p035 | I think this is combination of human climate change and messing with the rivers. I do think that droughts are natural and some times happens, but I think that human involvement in the river is the main cause of the river running dry. I think that human are going to mess with the river ecosystem and it may never return to normal. | p035_429 |
430 | 397 | p022 | After reading the article, i felt really alarmed and worried about wildlife heading into the future. I think that more and more species of animals will start to die out and go extinct because of lack of water as well as food. Hopefully the future generation could figure something out to combat this because if it continues down this path, Earth will end. | p022_430 |
431 | 13 | p019 | IS this was ever going to end? It seems like it has been going on forever and we have tried and tried to help them, to fix this or to end it even but nothing is working. It seems like two steps forward one step back. I can only imagine the trauma the people/soilders around this event felt. It's disgusting and I wish it would end/ | p019_431 |
432 | 13 | p073 | This is so sad. I hadn't heard of this happening, but US strikes in Afghanistan ended up killing many civilians. One of the strikes actually hit an emergency hospital that Doctors without Borders was operating. A lot of the patients and the staff were killed. It just sounds horrible. Relatives were trying to walk through the streets with the bodies of their dead children. I can't even imagine what it would be like for these people. | p073_432 |
433 | 13 | p035 | In my opinion, this is a mistake that can not happen. Killing civilians at a doctors without boarders camp has no excuse. I agree with doctors without boarders that this is a war crime. I wonder what discipline happened to the sixteen service members. It was wrong to stop the people protesting with the bodies, they have a right to show their anger. | p035_433 |
434 | 13 | p039 | These doctors are working hard to help these people I suppose it is important that they do this work but at the same time maybe they should stay home and focus on their own people instead of going around and solving everyone elses problems it seems like these people need to know what the real world is like | p039_434 |
435 | 13 | p024 | Troops killed in Afghanistan always angers because we should no longer be there in the first place. The fact that we are still there says a lot about us as a country. We need to realize that we have no business there anymore and get out. I don't know why we try to be the world police when it clearly does us no good in the long run. | p024_435 |
436 | 308 | p022 | I think that after reading this article, i definitely felt a bit of disgust. I would definitely try and look out for myself more often after hearing about these diseases. The fact that there are so many squirrels running around everywhere makes me feel nervous. Also the fact that they can attack you at anytime makes me extremely nervous as well. | p022_436 |
437 | 308 | p054 | Red squirrels in Britain are found to be carrying leprosy. Many of them are carrying strains of the skin disease that are the same as what infected human Europeans all the way back in medieval times. These same strains have been eradicated in the mainland of the UK for a number of centuries. It is a serious skin disease. | p054_437 |
438 | 308 | p030 | I just read an article about instances of red squirrels in the U.K. contracting leprosy. Apparently. there are only three species of mammal on the planet that can actively carry and suffer from the disease, which include: humans, banded armadillos and now red squirrels. I also wasn't aware that it kills nerves throughout your body so that infections can go unnoticed, resulting in amputations of limbs. | p030_438 |
439 | 308 | p039 | Can you believe there is still leprosy around this day and age? I did not know that squirrels could even carry the disease from now on I will be more careful around them since they can carry such a serious disease I thought that leprosy only existed during the time of Jesus I am surprised that it is still around. | p039_439 |
440 | 308 | p039 | wow I did not know that squirrels could carry such a serious disease it is kind of scary but also it is really interesting to see how adaptable and amazing nature can be I am glad that they have not spread the disease to humans but I feel like it is inevitable that some disease will attack humans in the future | p039_440 |
441 | 7 | p039 | Too bad what happened to these Syrians but honestly I don't really care let them all burn up one less muslim to worry about I think they should bomb the whole country and turn it to dust but I guess we can't just go around killing millions of people unless we drop a nuke on them like the Japanese because that was justified | p039_441 |
442 | 7 | p016 | The situation in Aleppo makes me so sad. I'm reminded of the 2016 presidential elections when the independent candidate Gary Johnson was asked to give an opinion on Aleppo and he just said, "What's Aleppo?". Well, as this article says, it's not Pompeii. The devastation in the area is just horrible; I feel so bad for all the families there. | p016_442 |
443 | 7 | p020 | this situation is so sad. The things that are going on in syria break my heart Reading the terrible unimaginable story of children covered in dust and blood is so sad. Reading that children are being killed along with hundreds of others is so sad. This is truly a horrible situation that needs more attention so more can help. | p020_443 |
444 | 7 | p039 | It is a shame that they are going through such hardships I feel bad about the little baby that died and bombs falling on them but that is part of life growing up in an uncivilized world where savages run rampant if they could just get rid of the people and start over maybe just move all the savages out. | p039_444 |
445 | 7 | p030 | Just read an article about people being buried alive in Aleppo. The situation in Syria has gotten so out of hand its gotten to the point that you almost want to ignore it for your own mental health. I know the article is dated, but Trump's decision to remove support from our Kurdish allies in Syria is one of the greatest strategic blunders since the instigation of the Iraq war. | p030_445 |
446 | 11 | p022 | It's so sad that innocent civilians need to die because of war and fighting. These people did nothing wrong and were just minding their own business before their lives were taken away. It's not fair for the people and it's not fair for the families of the people that were killed as well. They are left without a family member and they have to live with that forever. | p022_446 |
447 | 11 | p029 | This is clearly sad because of the innocent people involved. IT is always a tragedy when innocent civilians are caught up in the violence and politics of a government in trouble. This seems like the situation here, and the people are the ones who are paying the price. It is unfortunate these groups can't see the harm they are doing and just cease all violent activities. When are people going to learn? | p029_447 |
448 | 11 | p062 | I don't care about this at all. There are well over one billion Indians and Pakistanis. We have enough of them. I don't care if a few get lost from these people fighting over Kashmir. That's been going on for decades anyway. I'm sure it's pointless, but these two sides won't back down so it'll keep going on. They're too nuclear powers so that's the only thing that makes this kind of interesting. I love how the Bollywood directors won't hire Pakistani actors. Pakistan sucks. They harbor a lot of terrorists and a lot of bad crap happens in, and comes out of, Pakistan. I'm sure they're to blame for most of the hostilities in the region. | p062_448 |
449 | 11 | p019 | I hate reading things about nuclear war and stuff! It's so scary... That kind of thing could literally destroy humanity. I would never want to think about what that could mean if this is really starting to happen or if this is a real option that people/countries are considering. I just wish that they had never been invented! | p019_449 |
450 | 11 | p029 | This is sad, I have not heard of this Indian Pakistani issue but it sounds like it is affecting a lot of people and a lot of lives. I can't imagine living somewhere where you constantly had to fear being bombed or shot or some catastrophe like that that caused imminent death or bodily harm. It would just be so stressful and difficult to have to live like that. I get worried about things like getting sick but jeez this just takes it to an all new level. It makes me very grateful to live where I am instead of somewhere like that. | p029_450 |
451 | 182 | p039 | who cares about a dead kitten do you know how many little human kids are being abused and sold into sex slavery there are so many things that we have to solve about humans before we go around saving kittens and dogs I think it is a shame that these people are wasting time saving stupid animals spend time on people | p039_451 |
452 | 182 | p030 | I just read an article about a kitten that had been brutally bound and left to die on the side of the road in Washington. The article itself was a little too cloying to take very seriously. You know when something is trying a little too hard to tug on your heartstrings and it just has the opposite effect? | p030_452 |
453 | 182 | p022 | After reading the article, i just feel really disturbed about it. The fact that someone can harm an animal is just mind boggling to me. I feel like people like this really need to be put behind bars. If they are willing to harm an animal, who knows what else they might do to humans. I feel like this is only the beginning for these people and they will do much worse. | p022_453 |
454 | 182 | p024 | How someone can have the cold heart to strangle a living thing let alone a baby kitten to death is beyond me. Imagine the pain the poor thing felt? How can we let people that do these things continue to live amongst us. Surely there must be some justice for this? What a disturbing case if I've ever seen one. | p024_454 |
455 | 182 | p068 | I cant believe someone could actually do this to another being. Kittens are so cute and friendly it would be like torchering a baby. Anyone with that kind of mindset on the lose is a danger to society. Mosy serial killers start out hurting innocent animals so this should be taken very seriosuly. Some kind of task force needs to be on this to make this person pay for what they did. Noone deserves to die such a sad and painful death. I cant believe how traumitized the people that found the kitten must be. Just reading this story made me almost cry I cant imagine seeing it. | p068_455 |
456 | 371 | p068 | This article has me very torn. I will always be a supporter of police who protect us and put themselves in harms way everyday and I now they deal with a lot of difficult people and situations. It is up to police to use discretion with force they inlflict on others and I think I would need to see the whole video and backstory and there side to decide. I now serving warrants is one of the scariest things for officers to do as alot are shot at and they go wrong. Im sure with her resisiting and the growing crowd around them they need to control the situation fast. Closed fist punching seems very scary and severe but who knows what led up to that happening. I feel sorry for both parties involved. | p068_456 |
457 | 371 | p016 | This is why it's so important to always get things on tap, because if it hadn't been I guarantee the officers would have tried to have said that they didn't do anything and it was all just her resisting arrest. I don't understand why they didn't just look the warrant up to see if it was still active instead of harassing her like that. | p016_457 |
458 | 371 | p062 | I feel no sympathy for anyone who gets punched in the face by a cop. If you get punched in the face by a cop, you were resisting arrest, almost assuredly. And I have no sympathy for anyone who resists arrest, even if you don't feel you should be getting arrested. The best way to deal with the police is to cooperate. Why is this not obvious to people? If you have nothing to hide then that will come out in the end. If she had no warrant, what were they going to book her on? They'd figure that out and let her go. But instead she resists arrest and gets arrested for that, and punched to boot. Which she deserved as far as I'm concerned. | p062_458 |
459 | 371 | p024 | I understand that there are more good cops than bad cops and overall cops are needed in society, but at what point do we start training these guys more than they are trained? Literally anybody can be a cop it seems and all these viral videos of cops hurting people are all too common. This is why a lot of the public is growing a huge distrust for cops. | p024_459 |
460 | 371 | p068 | This article is just horrifying. I understand that the police officers deal with hard to arrest people but punching someone yet alone a woman and mother is just horrible. I think less violent and severe tactics should have been taken in this case. It is there discretion but I think he was just taking his anger out on this lady and in no way should that be allowed. In front of her children and family. Maybe she was just worried the arrest was not suppose to happen, you should not be able to become violent out of anger. | p068_460 |
461 | 18 | p022 | After reading the article, it just makes me so sad that there are soldier that are still being killed. It's great that they are willing to sacrifice their own lives for their country but it's still sad. They have family that they are leaving behind and they will have to suffer for the rest of their lives. It's very sad to know that we are still in war after so long. | p022_461 |
462 | 18 | p030 | Just read a story about an incident in Jordan where at least two American soldiers were killed in what appeared to be a mix up. A vehicle carrying American soldiers failed to yield at a gate to an military base in Amman and Jordanian troops ended up opening fire on the vehicle. Apparently, there had been an attack on the base recently, so I can understand why the patrols would be on their toes. | p030_462 |
463 | 18 | p029 | This really sounded like a misunderstanding that resulted in the loss of life. How very tragic for these three people and their families. Perhaps better measures should be taken at this facility to be sure that they are identifying people correctly and that nothing else like this happens again. I think a lot of military casualties are extremely sad, but it seems especially bad when it is not even in combat and just in a situation like this that should have been harmless. | p029_463 |
464 | 18 | p035 | I feel sorry for the troops that lost their lives. I do not believe we should be in the middle east, but the troops are not making those choices. I do not see how you have a shoot out with a country that you are supporting. I know there is a language barrier, but this should have never happen. I wonder is something else is going on. | p035_464 |
465 | 18 | p062 | This incident made me feel bad. I assume it was just an accident and a case of confusion and miscommunication. But it still feels sad to think that someone was killed needlessly like this. American troops do a lot for us and the rest of the world. This is a bad way to go down. I'm not sure what I hope happened. Either way it was a tragic event. It doesn't sound like the Jordanians did anything wrong. They wee rightfully protecting their base. It's very unclear what the Americans could have been thinking, but they clearly made a mistake and suffered from it. Hopefully the truth is discovered and people can be content with the tragic event. | p062_465 |
466 | 326 | p029 | People love to blame Trump for anything and everything that goes wrong in this country while he is in power. The truth is that hate crimes have been ongoing for many decades, an d it has nothing to do with the man in office. There were multiple hate crimes while Obama was in office and really every other president before him. People, especially the media, love to scapegoat Trump. Just like the article said, Trump has actually done a lot to try to build up the Jewish communities. Black unemployment is at a record low. Yet people continue to blame him. Shaking my head. | p029_466 |
467 | 326 | p062 | This article is ridiculous. I'm part Jewish and all of this is absurd. Likening our country to Nazi Germany in any way is just embarrassing. The idea that our democracy is under threat because we had a democratic election is too stupid for words. I like Jews and am part Jewish, as I said, but I have no sympathy for this kind of nonsense. Trump has supported Israel far more than any other President in recent memory. Obama abandoned Israel and sided with Iran. Is that what Jews want in a President? They feel safe with that? They feel threatened by a President who supports them and vows to defend them? People are stupid, even Jews, some of the smartest people in the world. | p062_467 |
468 | 326 | p024 | I can relate to the Jewish in the sense that I too struggle to realize and accept the fact that Trump got elected. I think the realization that he got elected is one that I tend to think made me realize the USA was not the country I thought it was. At the end of the day its good that it happened because we realized that we are not perfect as a country. | p024_468 |
469 | 326 | p054 | A number of Jewish Americans have been concerned about the possibility a rise in antisematic behavior following the election of President Donald Trump. Some extremists painted symbols of hate in prominent Jewish areas, leading some Jewish Americans to question whether the extremists' behavior was related to Trump's election. | p054_469 |
470 | 326 | p062 | I find all sorts of things wrong with this article and perspective. Trump has been the greatest Presidential ally for Israel, possibly since its creation. Obama abandoned Israel and buddied up to Iran--Israel's mortal enemy. Is that the type of President Jews want? Obviously that's a false dichotomy, and certainly Jews are allowed to dislike Trump for all sorts of reasons. But to place this all on Trump is missing the point, in my opinion. Trump is a symptom of any rise in anti-semitism, not the cause. The 2016 push-back by whites and males was a long time coming, and was due to cultural changes that have absolutely nothing to do with Trump. Trans, gays, women, minorities--all of that stuff being shoved in people's faces, aggressively, leads to push back. Welcome to it. | p062_470 |
471 | 297 | p019 | This is so sad to hear about... I really hope that they are able to find out, soon, the cause of the accident, as I'm sure this will give the victims, and their families, some sort of comfort. It also had to be traumatic for the people watching, to see such a thing happen and lives destroyed like that. | p019_471 |
472 | 297 | p068 | I feel so sorry for the passengers and victims onboard. This would be my worst fear being on a train or plain having no control or way out of such a big accident. They must have been so afraid once the train started rocking back and forth. I wonder what actually caused this horrible accident in the first place. They said that a similar one happened earlier so it must be connected. A full investigation should be done to find the cause and fix it. The train should be shut down to avoid loss of life while it is investigated and corrected. It seems to be a totally avoidable way to lose a life and needs to have more security measures put into place. | p068_472 |
473 | 297 | p024 | Anytime a train or car crash happens you start to think of what caused it. You wonder if the conductor was drunk or what? Usually there is a hidden reason as to why they happened and a lot of the time we never find out what truly happened. Its near the site of a 2013 crash though which leads me to believe that this happens regularly there! | p024_473 |
474 | 297 | p035 | I always worried about traveling in an airplane, but the recent news and this article makes me think twice about traveling by train. I feel very sorry of the four people who lost their life and the fifty injuries in the train wreck. I hope they find out what caused the wreck for it does not happen again. | p035_474 |
475 | 297 | p054 | Four people were killed in a train crash that happened in Spain's northwest region. The train's carriage had flipped on its side after hitting a bridge near the train tracks. Fifty more people were injured. It is a true tragedy for this community to suffer a horrific accident of this nature. I feel for the people of the area. | p054_475 |
476 | 53 | p011 | It is such a shame isn't it that so many people in our country don't understand how important it is to not waste food don't you think? I know that I am also to blame sometimes, and when I throw away food that's been in my fridge I often feel guilty, do you? I really try hard not to waste food though. I wish others felt the same way. | p011_476 |
477 | 53 | p022 | After reading this article, i feel that i can definitely relate to it . I defintely am guilty of sometimes wasting food even when it's still fresh. There are times when i buy a really large meal and just leave it in the fridge until it's expired. So reading this article, it made me feel very guilty and uneasy because of how close it hits. | p022_477 |
478 | 53 | p010 | Food waste in the United States is just shameful. So many children and adults are hungry, yet we have learned nothing. There are some companies that were established solely for people to drop off uneaten food or expired food. There are few places anywhere you can take large amounts of food to redistribute. | p010_478 |
479 | 53 | p024 | We shouldn't be wasting food like that us Americans when there are so many starving children around the world. We need to find a way to preserve leftover food , renew it and give it to the people in need. It can be the homeless or children in need. The bottom line is we need to make better use of the food so other people can enjoy it. | p024_479 |
480 | 53 | p054 | Food waste is becoming a rather large problem in America. A 2010 study found that one hundred and thirty three billion pounds of edible foods went uneaten in 2010. That is absolutely ridiculous. With as many starving homeless and poor people as are in this country it should not be that so much food is being wasted. | p054_480 |
481 | 292 | p053 | There are a lot of troubled people in the world today. Every time I read an article or see a news story about another shooting, I get a little bit on edge. These kind of things happen too much these days. I long for the time when we were growing up when you didn't see this in the news every day. It's good that more people weren't hurt. | p053_481 |
482 | 292 | p035 | This was a very short article without a lot of context to it. It did not tell why the man with the assault style weapon killed the man that was in his seventy's. At first, I thought it was going to be about a man that was denied the right to vote, but that story proved to be false. I do feel sorry for any body who loses their life to gun violence. | p035_482 |
483 | 292 | p035 | I'm feel for a person that kill themselves. I feel that everybody has the right to make that choice because it is their life and they are the one's that have to deal with their feeling emotional or physical. The article did not go into great detail about the man, but I hope his family or anybody else are not suffering. | p035_483 |
484 | 292 | p068 | This article sais alot about the state of the country. I think many hispanic people are just angered and don't know where to tell there frustration. This man was probably trying to make some type of statement. With trump putting so much attention on this border and getting illigals out im sure he is scared and doesnt know what to do. This is a horrible way to go about it but I can see both sides. This poor older man who was shot for no reason. People need to think before they act, and more mental health help should be available to people feeling violent or angry. | p068_484 |
485 | 292 | p030 | Just read an article about a shooting that happened in California. The details were sparse, but apparently a man opened fire with an assault rifle in the public space and only killed one elderly man. Say what you will, but this seems like close to an ideal resolution to a scenario like this. The article then doubled back and said the suspect was still alive despite pronouncing him dead earlier in the text. Odd. | p030_485 |
486 | 395 | p000 | Hey did you hear about that murder suicide that happened the other day? He shares the name as the school principals at the twins school, I really hope there is no correlation. Its really scarey to think you really never know someone. I wonder somedays if my husband will snap on me. I can be a pain in the butt but he works alot and you never know what the future holds | p000_486 |
487 | 395 | p010 | This story is very very sad. it seems almost every day and family member kills their entire family. This article was distressing to read - their little girl had so many health problems. The mom had PTSD. Friends and relatives relayed they were great people. Facebook indicates a wonderful life. They are gone from this world and none of us know what happened behind closed door. | p010_487 |
488 | 395 | p031 | This is so sad and tragic. The most selfish thing to do is to take innocent lives, especially your own wife and kids! If this man had a mental breakdown over losing his wife he should have went to see a shrink and worked it out with his spouse. His kids were innocent and he denied them their lives. This was the most un-Godly and cowardly thing to do and I just have no words. I feel nothing but anger towards this man and extreme pity towards his wife and kids. | p031_488 |
489 | 395 | p020 | a man killed his family in a murder suicide. his wife had confessed to being abused on facebook. she was very close to leaving when she was murdered. they also had a few children together. this entire situation is so disturbing and sad. the fact that she was so close to escaping this situation but never got to breaks my history. | p020_489 |
490 | 395 | p030 | So, I just read a story about a family in which the husband and wife were going through domestic strife and the husband ended up murdering everyone and then killing himself. According to the article he attempted to put a band-aid on deeply rooted relationship issues by taking the family to Disney Land. Who thinks like that? Honestly, I can see taking any available route when desperate, but if your wife wants to leave you she is going to leave you. | p030_490 |
491 | 218 | p068 | This article really concerns and scares me. This could be any one of us effected by high levels of lead and never knowing. I am suprised that there is a level expectancy but no prosecution for exceeding it and not regular testing of water. The general population does not now about there water unless it becomes a national crisis like flint. I am very cocerned because they said so many communities are effected what is this doing to the children who are growing up on this water. I will be switching to bottled water because I just do not trust the water anymore to much covering up going on its so sad. | p068_491 |
492 | 218 | p010 | Reading this article on contaminated water is mind-boggling. The work is done, reports are made, violations noted, and no one assesses any penalties. Ludicrous! Why do any of the work if nothing is done with the findings. What other profession allows this! Our government is ridiculous. We need more Erin Brockovich's in this world to fine these folks millions and millions of dollars in fine. I worry about our children. | p010_492 |
493 | 218 | p035 | I think having cities in the United States with bad drinking water is bad for the entire nation and should be address by the entire nation. I think there should be real punishment for the people in charge that do not make sure that the city has clean drinking water. I'm sad to read all the stats about other cities having the same issue. | p035_493 |
494 | 218 | p019 | I think that it is crazy that some places, in a country as far "advanced" as America is, that we don't have easy access to clean drinking water? Especialy considering that this is aknown issue!! WHy hasn't this been fixed or remedied in a more timely manner? Water is not a luxury. People need it to survice. | p019_494 |
495 | 218 | p010 | Why isn't the EPA assessing fines for violations? So presently you just get a violation but no repercussions. Another example of ridiculous wasted government who sits on their behinds and doesn't do their job. I feel every year we need a completely new group of employees in every division in the government. It's ridiculous. The next most treasured commodity will be clean water everywhere. | p010_495 |
496 | 103 | p031 | You can never trust Russian government. Putin usually "cleans up" anyone who is again him or not "useful". A guy does not "accidentally" die in a hotel from mysterious injuries-he gets taken out. Anyone who buys this story is out of their mind. Dictators and communists always take out people who are against them! | p031_496 |
497 | 103 | p016 | lol, yeah, definitely an accidental death when the guy shows up with blows all over his body, makes perfect sense. I'm not surprised, though — anything involving Russia is going to have some kind of cover up at play. It's hard to say who did it, though — his own government or someone outside of it. It's a messed up situation. | p016_497 |
498 | 103 | p035 | Any time an official or aid is found death from Russia or another major country, I feel like they did not die or natural causes. The story said the aid died from drinking too much then falling. I could believe that if the story did not say that the aid fell more than one time. I can see one fall hitting your head then dying, but I can not see more than one fall. | p035_498 |
499 | 103 | p029 | Well I mainly just feel sad for the family of this guy. I mean, it sounds like he drank himself to death. That was clearly his own decision and his own doing, not something that he fell victim too. I guess it is unfortunate that it happened but jeez if you are going to abuse alcohol that badly then what do you expect? This is the type of thing htat happens when people make bad choices and unfortunately too often it is their family members who are left behind to pay the price and suffer. | p029_499 |
500 | 103 | p022 | After reading this article, i couldn't help but wonder if it is telling the truth of not. I thought that you would never really know if it was accidental or not because the government could just be hiding the truth from everyone. They are not as democratic as the United States so i am sure they hide things fro mtheir people. | p022_500 |
