Are you and sarge nuts, Thousands of Americans have just been murdered by religious fanatics who believe that the more Americans they murder the more fun they will have in
heaven. Here is your own statement and I repeat it because
I think it is better applied to people like you......
" << JMO, and I wish you no ill will, but there is a time for silence and
humility.......perhaps that is the lesson you have yet to learn.>>
Think now ! we have a lady, a fellow threader who is angry
because thousands of her American family has just been murdered and you guys say she should be silent.
I'm not even in the USA and I am just as angry as she is.
None of my immediate family was affected by these murderers...... yet.... how about you guys.....you been affected yet........if and when you are affected will you do as you suggested and remain silent./

You wrote: Amen. May she live long enough to learn it.

Yes! AMEN !!!

But, not only just that screeching and screaming and damning amazon "warrior" but others of her ilk as well.

A lot of folks will do well to see the bigger picture by looking at the history of the conflict from the time of the Crusades (ca. 11th century) to modern times, to take a closer look at government propaganda and whitewashing of various countries, and a closer look at big business manipulations worldwide.

But, alas, the schools of today don't seem to teach much history. I hate to say this, but it is fact that many high schools today are merely diploma mills and many high school graduates are functional illiterates! The preoccupation with "self-esteem" has spawned products that all too easily become members of a mutual admiration society. And woe betide the odd man out or the one with a dissenting opinion.

While many learn that Newton's Third Law of Motion <"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"> as a fundamental law of physics, very few seem to realise its universality/applicability to human relations and interactions. Eeeerrrrooops!!! The Buddhists and Hindus recognize it in their concept of Karma ---- their universal
law of compensation and retribution. EEEROOPS! again! No, the Christians recognize it, too, in the Biblical injunction, "As you sow, so shall you reap."

I know many will be enraged/outraged by my remarks. Well, I am just a small man voicing my humble opinions only, FWIW.
