301 | 347 | p068 | This crisis is so tender and near and dear. It is horrifying that such innocent souls are lacking basic nutrition and this is effecting every part of there life. Because they are so week form not eating they can't do much to fend for themselves especially because alot of them are orphaned children. It is horrifying that it is tough for aid to push through to these areas and the further they gain access to the more horrible the sights are. I can't imagine the children longing for there parents they are seperated from and longing for some sort of security in there lives. There food is gone there water is unsafe but it is nice to know that aid workers eventhough it is a tough site to see are remaining to truly help out. | p068_301 |
302 | 347 | p036 | I think it's really important to read this article. It goes to show how much a group of people are in need, and how dominance and facism can ruin a country for a long time from the inside out. Look at how the poor farmers lack security and cannot comfortably return to their crops. This is wrong all around, I hope it inspires some action. | p036_302 |
303 | 347 | p048 | It really does break your heart to have to read about all these foreign countries that suffer so much from hunger. You never really realize how lucky we are until you're reminded by these news articles and stories. You want to do so much but yet will any of it really help? I can't help but think that charities and donating isn't the best option because how is one to know if it's really worth it when a lot of these companies have overhead and issues within their own charities. I hope they have improved and continue to improve from this crisis. | p048_303 |
304 | 347 | p035 | One of the biggest fears of a parent, is that they die and can not protect their children especially when they are young, like the children in the article. The mother has a lot of faith in her child to leave her by herself at the age of 12. It is a sad reminder that some people do not get a childhood and life is very hard. I hope they all get the food that they need. | p035_304 |
305 | 347 | p024 | Anything fellow human beings are struggling with hunger we as humans must find a way to be able t o help them out. I feel like if we are starving we would want as Americans someone to step in and help us. It is the right and the only way to do things to be honest. I feel like Nigeria is too corrupt to help itself at this point. | p024_305 |
306 | 48 | p011 | I was not connected to anyone after reading the article on Aleppo and the horrible circumstances that the elderly face after the destruction wrought on the city. I was told by the System to enter the code after the survey so I completed the survey and answered with all neutral answers. The instructions said that I would get paid if I somehow was not connected with anyone (i.e. if they disconnected). I guess in this situation they did in fact disconnect. I hope that your research goes well, and if there is anyway that I can chat with someone else regarding this incident I would be more than happy to do so. War tears cities apart, and it is hard for me to understand how so many innocent people suffer due to the whims of those in power. I hope to get paid for my efforts. Good luck. | p011_306 |
307 | 48 | p035 | It would be a hard decision for me to stay or leave my family. I guess at the older age, I would not want to leave my home. It would be bad for your own government and rebel forces fighting making it hard to get food. I would worry if I had to leave my parent of grandparent alone back in war tore country. I hope the war ends soon. | p035_307 |
308 | 48 | p008 | I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a war-torn country. Americans have it so much better than they realize and I don't understand why it's so hard for people to put themselves in others' shoes. I feel so much for this poor man that just wanted a peaceful retirement and to hang out with his family and now he and his wife are basically depriving themselves of food so that they have enough for the kids. It's depressing. | p008_308 |
309 | 48 | p066 | I read an article about old people in Aleppo where they ended up being neglected in the conflict. Their children and grandchildren often flee to safer countries but the elderly aren't usually afforded the same luxury. One old man lamented that he had spent his whole life to create a better place for his children and grandchildren and all that work was now null and void. What a tragedy. | p066_309 |
310 | 48 | p048 | I continue to read these stories and they always spark sympathy but then it's always the same outcome for these situations. People are fights and warring and there is not much that we can do about it. How much can one person do to fix these issues? I just hope that their future is brighter than it seems. That's what is always so hard to express or imagine. I'm a sure believer that God has the power and so I think they will come out on top with that attitude. | p048_310 |
311 | 291 | p022 | I think that what happened with the dog was so sad and terrible. I honestly don't think that the police officer did that on purpose but rather it was just a terrible accident. It was stated that the dog has been working with the police officer for quite some time so i'm sure that they had some sort of bond. It's just really sad that such an innocent animal died because of this accident. | p022_311 |
312 | 291 | p067 | This is sad. Dogs don't deserve that. Police that leave dogs in cars should be ashamed. I don't really believe they suffered consequences for it, police never do. I think that there should be more precautions to make sure dogs are not left alone in cars, especially when the one responsible is supposed to have training to deal with that sort of thing. | p067_312 |
313 | 291 | p062 | I feel really sad about this. I love dogs and police dogs are great helpers to the police and community. I hope that this truly was a "bad accident" as described by the Sheriff, and not serious neglect or negligence or something. But I'm not sure what the procedures are for keeping police dogs in cars, and what the likely explanation is for something like this. The police officer presumably feels terrible, and I feel bad for him too, as long as the mistake was honest. If it wasn't then I have no sympathy for him. But if it was then I bet he feels horrible and partly doesn't want to show his face to the other officers anymore. | p062_313 |
314 | 291 | p010 | This is the saddest story ever. Why would a police officer leave his dog in a car on a hot day where he dies? You just don't leave a dog in a car for 1 full day without knowing it. I am glad he's on paid leave. The dog was three years old. In my opinion, it's intentional and there needs to be ramifications. | p010_314 |
315 | 291 | p067 | That's terrible that the dog was left to die. Maybe there should be consequences for it. You should know that I feel good about dogs and don't want them to die. It is upsetting especially given their important role and how much training is required for them, and how much responsibility their handlers are supposed to have. | p067_315 |
316 | 39 | p024 | I think situations like these really make me doubt the world. We really need to do better and I've been saying this for quite some time now but eventually you realize its a crazy world out there. So much wrong goes on in the world that you become numb to it over time. I think that is the worst part of it. | p024_316 |
317 | 39 | p068 | This article really struck home for me. I am so sad that this wolf traveled 700 miles to find a new mate just to be killed sensesly. He traveled through rough conditions like a jill field and stillended up dying. I think thes eprograms by the government to kill animals is horrifying. We should all live together in hamony. If they are a pest we should find ways that dont harm them like relocating the animals to help the problem not kill innocent souls.Someday they will find a solution that wont harm lives and live in peace. | p068_317 |
318 | 39 | p016 | I think it's pretty sad that the wolf got killed. I know that they're thinking about reintroducing wolves to a lot of areas because we've killed off so many of them, deer populations are spiking and because of that ticks and lyme disease are on the rise. They're saying it might become an epidemic. Anyway, I guess my point is that some people might say that we don't need to care about wolves because they're harmful or dangerous, but it turns out that we need them. Anyway. It's sad that the wolf died, and kinda crazy that he went out via sniper. | p016_318 |
319 | 39 | p030 | I just read about an unfortunate wolf that had been tagged by conservationists, wandered away from his pack and murdered by overzealous wildlife exterminators. I wasn't even aware that these types of individuals existed. I knew oil companies employed wildlife exterminators in the far north, but apparently there are people paid to murder animals here in the US. Despicable. | p030_319 |
320 | 39 | p048 | I love animals, I truly do. Although, I will never say animals are above humans. This article really lacks more information. They don't go in to why the wolf was shot by the government sniper. I just don't agree that there wasn't a threat of some sort that would create someone to do this. They are wild creatures that could have actually hurt a human. I am all for saving and helping animals and ensuring their well-being but this story may or may not have to do with that. | p048_320 |
321 | 52 | p022 | I think it's terrible that this man had to get deported. I feel like if you lived in United States for a certain amount of time, you are officially a member of the country no matter what. It is so depressing and sad that this man had to be separated from his family and have everything that was his taken away. It is unfair and i think the system is broken as well. | p022_321 |
322 | 52 | p030 | I just read an article about a Korean man who was adopted from South Korea when he was three, brutally abused, lived in the U.S. for 37 years and is now being deported because the adoption agency/foster family did not file the correct paperwork for him to get his citizenship. I don't understand how people can sleep at night after persecuting people in unfortunate circumstances like this. | p030_322 |
323 | 52 | p073 | This story is very unimaginable. This guy was adopted from South Korea and came to the US when he was three. He has had a really hard life over the years being abandoned by his adoptive parents and put into the foster system, where he was treated very poorly. Now he is being deported because his adoptive parents never filled out any paperwork and he was too old when an act was passed to protect people like him. | p073_323 |
324 | 52 | p054 | Adam is a South Korean man who was adopted by American parents at age 3. He lived until recently in Vancouver Washington with his family. He is now being deported back to South Korea and is currently detained in an immigration detention center while customs enforcement and immigration can make the necessary arrangements. Despite having lived in the united states for the vast majority of his life, thirty seven years of his total fourty one years, he is now being deported. Adam stated that he had ended up on the radar of federal immigration officials after applying for a green card in 2012. | p054_324 |
325 | 52 | p024 | This is ridiculous! This man is American through and through. He is about as South Korean as me. He was born in this country and he is a citizen more so than most Americans as far as I am concerned. He should be allowed to come back no doubt about it! Its quite infuriating to be quite honest with you! | p024_325 |
326 | 89 | p024 | When crimes like this happened it is always good that the perpetrators are caught quickly because they can strike again at anytime. I feel like in this case the bloody evidence was good even if the body was burned so that just tells me that these criminals were not as smart as they thought which led to them being caught. | p024_326 |
327 | 89 | p068 | This whole article made my mood change so much. It is horrifying how people can do this to one another. They dont think about the other person as a lving being and that is so scary. These men should never be allowed out of prison for this brutal murder. They just tossed his body in a shallow grave and went on with there lives watching a payperview game. And the murder was just because he wasnt interested in one of them romantically that is insane! somehting is clearly not right in both of there minds for this to be okay. I feel for the man who lost his life in a horrible way for no reason at all. | p068_327 |
328 | 89 | p010 | Hey A, Have you read the article this morning regarding gruesome stabbing of a Manhattan partygoer? They found him (Joseph Comunale) on Jersey Shore buried in a one foot deep grave stabbed 15 times and partially burned. (:. To top off the horrendous event, Comunale who was a celebrity jeweler, one of the suspects was his surrogate son. He took him in and found a job for him and was always there. Sex is the unofficial charge of why he was murdered. This is very disturbing to me. I do not understand how anyone could be so brutal and evil. I can't quit thinking about how his life ended. It's a sad, sad story. | p010_328 |
329 | 89 | p022 | What happened in this article was truly disturbing. The fact that someone can have the decency to not only kill someone but to also burn them as well is very inhumane. I felt really disgusted and just lost all faith in humanity after reading this article. It makes me question people and wonder if there is actually any good left in the world. | p022_329 |
330 | 89 | p022 | After reading the article, i can't help but feel terrible and disturbed. I feel bad because i just can't imagine how people could do something like this to another human being. It's terrible because people were just trying to have fun at the party while these other people had other intentions like steal. I hope they get what they deserve in the long run. | p022_330 |
331 | 148 | p024 | it is quite depressing to see what this elephant has had to go through throughout his life. I feel like this female elephant being held captive for 3 decades is enough to depress me. Not only does it get worse than that, it still has no signs of changing. We as humans need to stand up and do what is right. | p024_331 |
332 | 148 | p030 | I just read an article about an elephant that has been kept in captivity and forced to perform as a circus animal for all its life. Elephants are highly intelligent and social creatures, and I couldn't help but draw a parallel between the people that are imprisoned in this country. They are also held in cages and forced into indentured servitude. Our whole society is forged and maintained by ostracizing and taking advantage of out groups, humans, animals everything that lives and breathes. | p030_332 |
333 | 148 | p022 | I feel that this article is really disturbing because i feel so bad for the elephant. I feel that elephant are such gentle animals and people just take advantage of that. Elephants are one of the sweetest animals in the world and wouldn't hurt a fly. The fact that people are using elephants for entertainment and just taking them away from their families is really disturbing. | p022_333 |
334 | 148 | p035 | For the past few years I have been struggling about the ideas of zoos. I know that they are educational, but I think to myself about how the animals feel. I believe that elephants are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet. To keep one in isolation is pure cruelty. I have seen elephants cry over the lost of loved ones and they are very communal animals. | p035_334 |
335 | 148 | p010 | A very disturbing article about animal abuse of an elephant. The USDA had multiple fines, violations, etc. that were filed in favor of Nosey the elephant. They have done absolutely nothing. This is exactly why no one likes any division of the US government. They have thousands of pages of forms you must complete and then they just sit on them and make no action. It's very disturbing Nosey has had a difficult life which humans are responsible for. | p010_335 |
336 | 223 | p031 | My heart went out to the mother and the girls that were killed in this horrible tragedy. This just goes to show how short and precious life can be. Hug your children and tell them daily how much you love them because you never know when you going to have to let go and say goodbye! Life can change in a blink of an eye, no wonder they say : "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans!". Gold bless us all! | p031_336 |
337 | 223 | p047 | It's crazy how you can lose your life so easily! Imagine how that poor kid will feel when she wakes up from the hospital and realizes her whole family is gone. Can't even imagine. Makes me sick thinking about it. I sincerely hope she has other close relatives who can be there for her because she will need all the support she can get. | p047_337 |
338 | 223 | p068 | This just has to hit you right in the heart. All the families and children out to have a fun night together and are killed and injured recklessly. I can't imagine that seen and so many people that were effected. The mother with her kids that were killed and her husband had just been killed earlier that summer in a car wreck. I am glad they will all be together in heaven atleast. That poor school having to deal with deaths of there classmates so young. I cant imagine that horrific seen for the emergency services when they arrive they were probably horrified and pray for them also. This is just such a senseless way to die. | p068_338 |
339 | 223 | p010 | I could barely read about the fiery crashes and fatalities. One family had already suffered loss earlier in the year. Anytime children are involved it seems even more severe and horrendous. I do wonder why someone had a trailer with children in it and driving it down the highway. What could have been a wonderful Halloween ended up entirely different and a tragic evening that will never be forgotten. | p010_339 |
340 | 223 | p035 | I feel bad for the mother and her two daughters that died in the accident. I'm a person that worries and being in a trailer would have me worrying. It is very sad that their life were cut short because they wanted to enjoy sometime together and go for a ride on Halloween. I hope that the other people involved in the crash find peace. | p035_340 |
341 | 186 | p029 | The politics behind this whole situation were a bit confusing to me, but it was clear that overall it is a really bad situation over there. It mentioned several times that multiple people were brutally raped and even murdered, sometimes by government officials, and this is really distressing and sad. That is obviously something that should never happen to anyone, so it makes me sad to hear that these people suffered like that. I think clearly something needs to be done over there but I'm not sure what. | p029_341 |
342 | 186 | p024 | This angers me to know stuff like this still goes on in 2019. The fact that another country has to help another with troops shows that we aren't in better times like some people say. Kenya deported an official knowing he was most likely to die when he arrived back in Sudan. This is cold blooded and Kenya should be ashamed of themselves for this. | p024_342 |
343 | 186 | p045 | I don't know why these problems continue in Africa without the Western World doing something about it. It's largely the fault of the former colonial powers that things are such a mess there, and it's not going to go away. The human cost is insanely high, people should not be living like this in the modern world. | p045_343 |
344 | 186 | p062 | I mostly feel contempt from this story. I do feel some sympathy for the people who were raped and killed in the recent violence, particularly the foreign workers. However, those people should have known the hell they were entering when they volunteered. The rest of it is just Africa and the UN. I find it hilariously stupid that the rest of the world was shocked and dismayed and whatever word was used to describe their reaction to Kenya threatening to close the refugee camp. But what does the world do about it? The world loves to feel holier-than-thou and then do nothing. Good old UN. Has an opinion about everything everyone is doing wrong, but no will or capacity to improve anything. Just stupidness all around. | p062_344 |
345 | 186 | p010 | This article on Kenya and South Sudan is so sad. Africa has had various rules for thousand of years that look out for no one but themselves except Nelson Mandella who went to prison for all the right things. The UN does more harm than good. How do you look at a whole nation as one individual? It's a war torn country and my heart breaks for them. | p010_345 |
346 | 113 | p029 | I can really get behind this ban. It disgusts me to see people smoking at playgrounds, and I've literally had to leave before because people were blowing smoke everywhere and I didn't want my children breathing it. It is just ridiculous. You can't tell me it's not harmful for a child to run through a cloud of smoke. On the same token, I thought the argument that it was setting a bad example was stupid. Yes, it does set a bad example, but we can't just purge society of every bad example in an effort to protect people from life. It's up to parents to teach their kids right and wrong. | p029_346 |
347 | 113 | p024 | I feel like they are doing the right thing. These animals and children at the zoo should not be taking in this second-hand smoke. I feel like the correct thing to do is fix it and try and get these smokers out of there as soon as possible. I think children should be protected and this is the correct way to do it. | p024_347 |
348 | 113 | p062 | I don't have a major problem with limiting the areas people can smoke, particularly if the intent is to spare children from inhaling second-hand smoke. However, the idea that you'd do this so that children don't even see adults smoking seems absurd to me. I agree with the people calling this Orwellian, as if adults don't have the right to do legal things in public. Is no one allowed to drink in public, or at restaurants? Or is that "normal" and "okay," while smoking isn't for some reason. This just seems arbitrary and consistent with typicial progressive fascism. These people have gone too far in trying to control things and bully legal things out of existence. It angers me. | p062_348 |
349 | 113 | p036 | The main idea about this article is that it focuses on a trend to reduce exposure to the ill effects of second smoke with regards to the public. The idea is to especially reduce the exposure to children. In this case, the focus is to reduce the smoke that happens in public parks and playgrounds. It is noted that similar laws have started to protect minors in vehicles. | p036_349 |
350 | 113 | p068 | This article really hits home for me as my father was a smoker. I am so grateful he choose to smoke outside and never around us kids. I had friends that there families would smoke in there car and inside and they and there stuff reaked. I remember coming away from there house feeling so sick from it. I think cigarette smoke has the potential to really harm children who are growing. It can harm anyone who breathes in the second hand smoke so banning it in public areas or atleast where children frequent is a very great idea. It effects everyone around you when you smoke in public we dont have a choice to breathe it in so you should not have the right to do it like public drinking. | p068_350 |
351 | 116 | p029 | This seems like a horrible situation with no real solution. It is crazy that cholera is still an issue in 2019 but apparently it is going strong in some places. I'm not sure that there is an obvious solution except maybe better sanitation for some of these people. But I guess some of that is cultural and not much can be done to fix it. Educating the people about it does not seem to have helped much, nor does vaccinating them. So what do you do, really? | p029_351 |
352 | 116 | p024 | I feel like in order to fight Cholera correctly we have to understand it. Its a good sign that no one agrees how to do it in my opinion because that just means that we need to find better ways to fight it. IT also means people are trying to agree just can't. That is a good sign because people are willing to talk about a solution. | p024_352 |
353 | 116 | p010 | Hey A: Did you read the article on cholera in third world countries? I'll focus on the Haiti piece of the article. Haiti had an overwhelming number of folks that had cholera. Vaccines were offered to the government because there was little they could do for those folks other than IVs. The government refused to take help from the World Health Organization. The corruption that goes on that country never ceases to amaze me. I got extremely frustrated reading what could have been done but nothing was done. So many people died that should not have. | p010_353 |
354 | 116 | p010 | Haiti goes from one catastrophe to another. If it isn't a life ending hurricane, it's cholera. I have huge respect for Bill and Melinda Gates. Vaccines will stop cholera. This country's opinions of vaccines are assine. Without vaccinations, we return to cholera, small pox, measles, etc. People wanting vaccines to save their lives yet there are not enough. | p010_354 |
355 | 116 | p024 | I feel like this is a problem not just with this Cholera situation but with humanity in general. WE can never just come together and form a common agreement we always seem to end up on the wrong side of things and disagreeing.. We tend to never agree on things and this causes disagreements like this. If we just worked things out correctly we would be better off. | p024_355 |
356 | 44 | p068 | This was just so sad and senseless. The brutal styel of killing and plotting behind this murde is crazy. Its insane in this day and age a gun couldnt even make its way into the airport building. Maybe there needs to be even more measures to prevent this. I am so saddened that the victim had a family and children that have to sit with his death forever now. Airline attendants should be more protected. I wonder what the connection between the two was, was it revenge, he knew his schedule so there must have been something going on there. I think way more security now has to be implemented as this should have never even happened. Also the poor people stuck on the planes for three hours with a supposed shooter on the loose id be terrified. | p068_356 |
357 | 44 | p035 | To this day I can not understand people who kill someone then kill themselves. If your life is going that bad and you want to kill yourself then you should do it, but leave other people out of it. I feel bad for the man who lost his life and his children that had to lose their father like that. I even feel bad for all the people at the airport that had their lives interrupted. | p035_357 |
358 | 44 | p068 | This is one of those articles that just hits you in the guts. You put yourself in the victims shoes and think what would i have done could i have known. It is horrifying in this day and age someone could even make it around an airport with any kind of weapon. I would really like to learn the motive and connection the victim had with the suspect. Why do people kill others I will never understand. Also for the families that have to deal with the after math the kids who dont get a father anymore for no reason. That must have been so painful. Being stuck on an airplane while a murderer is running around the aiport would also send me in to panick. | p068_358 |
359 | 44 | p029 | All this senseless killing is so disturbing. They didn't even seem to have a clear reason why this man was shot. It seems like every day or so there is some lunatic out there with a gun killing people for no apparent reason except for their own instability or anger at the world. This is such a sad scenario that people see killing others as an outlet for their own negative emotions. It seems like there is not much of a good solution for this scenario, as controlling guns just takes away protection from people who need it. The bad guys still find a way to arm themselves. | p029_359 |
360 | 44 | p031 | What a terrible story, my heart goes out to the family of the victim. I wonder what he did to deserve this, was he involved in some way or did something to provoke this senseless murder? Either way, an innocent life is lost and the guy left behind two kids and his wife. The most pathetic thing about it that the murderer killed himself afterwards. What a coward! Hell is definitely a place for people of this caliber. | p031_360 |
361 | 163 | p022 | I feel really bad for the girl that lost her eyes due to the attack with the pellets. She had her whole life ahead of her and she did not deserve what happened to her. She was merely a victim to all the war and corruption that is going on in the country. It's sad to think that someone who once had vision and is now never able to see anything ever again. | p022_361 |
362 | 163 | p016 | I can't imagine being a fourteen year old kid and losing my eyesight; that's just so sad. I don't think it's right to fire at people who can't defend themselves, and the fact that it sounds like they're using pellet guns with new shapes just to cause more damage is awful. I hope that girl gets more help in the future. | p016_362 |
363 | 163 | p010 | This girl's life is forever changed. Pellets destroyed her eyes and her face. Her mom wraps scarves around her face and eyes to protect her. :) I have a great deal of admiration for her as she is speaking the the journalist about what happened. She wants her government to give her an answer. She had aspirations of becoming a doctor. She showed her textbooks to him. She is in and out of hospitals hoping to retain her eyesight. | p010_363 |
364 | 163 | p062 | I feel some amount of sympathy for this girl because I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your eyesight like that. In one brief moment the world goes from visible to invisible in an instant. It's got to be nearly traumatic (although she seems to be remaining upbeat). But I also don't feel that much sympathy because I want to know what she was doing when it happened. Kashmir is a violent place. Someone like this should not be ignorant of the dangers in the region, including how police will respond to protests and uprisings. I'm sure she wasn't just sitting in a peaceful cafe, minding her own business when she got blasted. If she was part of a riot, then she got what she could have expected. If she wasn't part of the unrest, then she should have fled the area. | p062_364 |
365 | 163 | p068 | You really cant help but put yourself in the victims shoes. Having dreams of becoming a doctor then one day your whole life changes and you cant do your dream anymore. It would be so scary to go blind not be able to see anything anymore you have to become dependent on on thers, you lose alot of your independence. I can understand that protests can become unsafe or even violent so you need tactics to over come that but with such numbers of people getting very hurt and permanently disabled I think thye should change there tactics. They should use more tear gas and change it to bean bag guns, a larger object that cant fit right into eyes . | p068_365 |
366 | 80 | p024 | I feel like this is the type of attack that has no excuse. Maybe the troops dislike the religion of muslims but this is no way to go about things just attacking them in this manner. The reporter that was fired for reporting on this issue has my respect, she tried to bring it to light and lost her job trying to let the voice of these women to be spoken. | p024_366 |
367 | 80 | p019 | Do you believe what is happening over there! It seems like the government and medical person ell are doing all that they can to help people, but not much is being done and it just continues to get worse. This leads to people thinking that nothing is being done and no one is being helped, even though they are! | p019_367 |
368 | 80 | p073 | This is a sad story about a predominantly Muslim community in Burma that is fighting with the government and military of the region. They are under constant fear of attack. There are roadblocks so they can't get food in or get out to get food. The prices of goods that are within the area have also risen drastically. I can't imagine having to live in this type of situation. | p073_368 |
369 | 80 | p062 | I don't really care about this issue, in part because I don't even understand it. All these ethnic and religious conflicts with displaced people, governments cracking down, and terrorist groups--they just tire me after a while. I do tend to agree with the idea that these are internal matters, not international matters. Burma has a right to independence and to protect itself against deemed threats. The UN always wants to come in and defend the refugees and criticize the governments for not doing enough or for cracking down too hard on perceived threats. Why should a government not have the right to defend itself against existential threats? For the sake of some do-nothing, pompous, self-righteous group from the UN? Screw that. | p062_369 |
370 | 80 | p068 | An article like this just make you so glad to live in the united states. Where everything is regulated and we have laws. I can not imagine living in a place where the governemnt and law can do anything they please without consequences. Soldiers raping women burning down houses all with out real cause. Any aid workers and doctors are treated very poorly so theres not enough to go around how does this civilzation survive. Crazy how far behind and uncivilized some places still are in 2019. I think more light needs to be shown on this as real people are hurting. Everyone deserves to feel safe in there country. | p068_370 |
371 | 367 | p022 | I think that after reading the article, it just confirms my views on war and terrorism. It has been going on for way too long and it really needs to come to an end. Innocent people are dying as well as getting killed. Families of these people are all grieving that they just lost a family member. Overall, it's terrible that this is still going on in the world today and there's nothing we can do about it. | p022_371 |
372 | 367 | p016 | It's amazing how statistics can show you how bad things are, but it's individual stories that really make you feel them. Like, reading about how 4,000 civilians have been killed in the crossfire? that's sad. But somehow reading about just one man, who ran an taxi service or a guy with an ice cream truck and leaving behind eight kids? Devastating. | p016_372 |
373 | 367 | p062 | I don't understand why we now try to fight wars without civilian casualities. War is inherently ugly. It's inherently dirty. You can't fight it "nice." You don't do that unless you don't want to win. You fight ugly and you fight hard. We didn't win World War 2 by playing nice. We nuked Japan twice. We leveled Germany. Civilians are targets, too. These Yemeni allowed a rebel group backed by iran to take over and are now causing threats to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis shouldn't have to protect Yemeni citizens at the expense of their own citizens. They should fight as hard and destructively as they want. Fight to win the war, not to not ruffle feathers. Idiocy. | p062_373 |
374 | 367 | p062 | I don't feel much sympathy at all in this situation. War is war. What some professor at Columbia says about how war should be fought is idiotic. What value are words in war? Pieces of paper? War should be fought to win. In World War II we leveled German cities and nuked Japan twice. We didn't concern ourselves with preventing civilian casualties. That would have seriously hindered us from winning the war, which should be the only point of going to war. In the same way, the Saudis and this coalition should not concern themselves with protecting somewhat complicit Yemenis when it hinders their effort to win the conflict. That should be the goal. The idea of fighting wars with tweezers to prevent collateral damage is absurd, even if it means people like this father of eight die. | p062_374 |
375 | 367 | p068 | This is such a disturbing article to read through. You just cant help but feel for the families of the victims so brutually killed. How could this coalition have such a lack of care for human life. The fact that they hit near a humanitarian run hospital is despicable. I am in aw that the us would in any way help when there is faulty information and so much civilian life loss. I feel for all these people that are now injured and have to go hours away for medical help because they had to shut this hospital down. | p068_375 |
376 | 91 | p028 | Hearing the story of the girl on dr phil was the most heartbreaking thing i have read recently. People who are victims of sexual abuse i always feel terrible for. But to be okay with the abuse of your children absolutely breaks me. How can you be parents and think that abusing your child is okay because of the money you will make from it. Disgusting and they both should have gone to prison longer than 20 years. | p028_376 |
377 | 91 | p068 | This article is so shocking and just stomach churning to me. How could your own flesh and blood do such horrible acts to you, a little girl. They stole her innocense and trust in people. They deserve life in jail the fact that they are out is just absurd. If they could do this to there own child i think they are to be considered at risk to other children and the community. It shows they have no moral compass and consious. I feel for that girl how you could ever live a normal life or create real relationships after being used for sex for so long is beyond me. I hope she has gotten appropriate therapy and other family to help her through. What a strong girl to go against her parents and stand up for herself. | p068_377 |
378 | 91 | p022 | This is a very disturbing article and i really hope that the girl grows up to be a decent person. What she had to go through was nothing that a child should ever have to go through. It was terrible and disturbing to say the least. Those two parents should be put in jail for their whole life or even the death sentence. The fact that thye can do this to a minor, let alone their own daughter, is so bad. | p022_378 |
379 | 91 | p022 | After reading the article, i couldn't help but feel really disturbed. It's so disturbing that someone can do that to their own child. The fact that you are doing this to a child is already bad enough but to do it to your own child is downright disgusting. These people deserve the life sentence in my opinion. If you are able to do something like this, who knows what else you are capable of. | p022_379 |
380 | 91 | p039 | This is pretty sick I can not believe that parents could be that sick but it must be white people they like to do sick perverted stuff like this they are the ones that ruin everything we need to really look at society and see how we need to improve the way that things are going into the world it is crazy | p039_380 |
381 | 23 | p068 | This article just hits you when thinking about the victims and there last minutes. To be in a country set up like that after being involved in such a blast and being injured i would be mentally inconsolable and frightened as you cant rely on the medical emergency people and communication to save you I think that is why many tried running into the river. These poor people experienced un imaginable pain before dying. I think the site emergency repsonders who arrived at this seen with charred bodies everyhwere must have been traumautizing and to see humans suffering in such pain. I hope that there wernt more victims that ran into the woods and just died from extreme pain. I am horrified from this story. | p068_381 |
382 | 23 | p022 | I feel really bad for the people that were involved in this accident. It was so terrible and so many lives were lost because of something so unexpected happening. It really makes me feel bad for the families of the ones that were lost as well. All of their lives will be impacted by this and will make living on much more harder. | p022_382 |
383 | 23 | p054 | There were seventy three people killed in a horrific accident in Mozambique when a fuel tanker exploded. There were seventy three residents gathered around the tanker waiting to buy fuel from the driver when the explosion suddenly happened, killing seventy three and injuring one hundred and ten people. This was a tragedy. | p054_383 |
384 | 23 | p035 | Sometimes living in the United States we forget how a lot of the people of the planet live. I would not think about buying fuel from a truck that stops in my community. We think of gas stations, not thinking that everybody in the world do not have access to a gas station. I feel sorry for the people who died and was hurt in the accident. | p035_384 |
385 | 23 | p010 | This story in Caphiridzange is horrific. The tanker just pulled over to provide fuel to the residents of that region and it completely blew up hurting countless numbers of people. There were a couple of ideas that were suggested what caused it but nothing was specific. So many died and so many left injured. | p010_385 |
386 | 66 | p029 | This really sounds like it could have been so much worse. Of course it is really sad for the people who lost their homes and the person in the hospital, but everyone made it out alive which is a miracle. Oftentimes in fires people do not make it, so I would say it is a blessing that they all have their lives. They will have to rebuild which will be stressful but at least they have each other and are alive. I think it is very fortunate that it turned out this way. I would say these people are lucky. | p029_386 |
387 | 66 | p016 | I've never been in a fire personally or really known about one, but I can't imagine how terrifying that would be. I kind of wonder how the people outside of the complex got hurt - I wonder if they were trying to get people out, or if some of the fire/debri came outside? Either way, it would be terrifying. I'm glad no one died. | p016_387 |
388 | 66 | p054 | There were at least ten people hurt after a rather large apartment complex in Arizona caught on fire. The fire was caught on video. The fire chief stated that it was a total loss and that the fire had been started following an unexplained explosion. It took the fire department crews close to ten minutes to get the fire under control. | p054_388 |
389 | 66 | p010 | This fire in the Arizona complex was so very scary. The entire building was a complete loss. It was great that the firemen rescued almost all of them without injuries except one that was sent to a burn unit. Watching all your possessions and your home burn is just very sad. I can't imagine replacing everything. | p010_389 |
390 | 66 | p068 | I feel so sad that this freak fire has effected so many people. It has ruined the owners property which has got to be a big financial loss. It also has displaced so many people who have lived here. They have lost everyhting in the fire and i cant imagine having to rebuild or having the money to replace all my stuff and stuff thats irreplacable like pictures. I feel grateful that people were hurt and no one was killed it could have been way worse. Hopefully everyone had renters insurance to help pay for some of the damages. | p068_390 |
391 | 270 | p029 | This is kinda sad because it is just a mass tragedy. So many lives lost, and it seems like it could have been so avoidable. It seems like mining is such a dangerous activity in general and a very dangerous job for those involved. It's sad for the families of these people that lost their lives, I feel bad for them. I wish that someone could have done more to save them before it was too late. | p029_391 |
392 | 270 | p068 | I feel so bad for the victims and the victims families. They were just doing there job and this careless explosion cause them to lose there lives. It is sad that they know how deadly and unsafe these worker conditions are but still have yet to close them. I am happy they are set to close around 1,000 but i think more has to be done. There should be a council and regulations set up like osha in the us to protect workers and make sure all precautions are being done to preserve human life. Now families are left without there sons fathers and incomes when they could have easily just shut this down. I hope for safer woring conditions in the future. | p068_392 |
393 | 270 | p024 | It is always depressing when things like this happen. I feel like the coal business has always been a very dangerous one and we need to be able to realize that no matter what we do to try and change things, they will somehow someway always be the old fashioned way with old fashioned dangers. I think we need to find a way these workers get safer jobs. | p024_393 |
394 | 270 | p030 | I just read an article about a mine collapse in China. Turns out there was a gas explosion and 33 workers were killed. I know that mining is a dangerous profession, but I can't imagine the instant of fear that comes before being incinerated. Then, there families have to wait weeks for their remains to be unearthed. The whole thing is really sad. | p030_394 |
395 | 270 | p010 | I really doubt the credibility of anything China says. They are always out for money, workers are in jobs that aren't save, people have no decisions made on their own. It's a communist country where the government rules. Living conditions are terrible and I don't believe the branch of government that is responsible for safe working conditions do anything. It's all just chatter for the rest of the world to rread. | p010_395 |
396 | 368 | p039 | I don't know about these accusations it seems the women were having sex and then did not want to have sex its getting to the point where a guy should make women sign a sex waiver before engaging in any activity just for legal ramifications also they should video tape every sex act so men know that it was not rape | p039_396 |
397 | 368 | p024 | These attacks on women seem to be more prevalent lately than not. I think with our current president and his feelings about women it has increased these attacks. We need to be aware of this and make the changes accordingly. We need to be able to prevent these attacks before they happen but finding out how to do that is the tough thing. | p024_397 |
398 | 368 | p016 | I'm so, so tired of rich white boys getting away with doing horrible things just because they're seen as "respectable," and by respectable I mean "absolute trash to women but men aren't scared so it's fine!" It's like the Brock Turner rape case (the athlete) all over again. Women get targeted all the time and are scared to do so many things men just don't have to care about. | p016_398 |
399 | 368 | p035 | As a father of three girls, I hate to see stories like this one. I know in today's climate people can be convicted in the eyes of the public before an actually trial, but I think this guy did it. It is too many different women saying that he did the same thing to them. It is hard for me to see what any man gets from doing this. | p035_399 |
400 | 368 | p019 | I feel so bad for this girl... and I bet you money that people will try to victim blame or twist this story/circumstance to make it seem like her fault, because she smoked some weed and had a few drinks. Even thought neither of those things are ever deserving of being raped or assualted. But that is the sad way the world works/thinks | p019_400 |
