(39,343 posts)It sucks that there are so many areas under conflict. Its like when people speak of a mass shooting in the US, they need to specify which of the many they are referring to. I share your thoughts. As we get older, more and more it appears that it is all bullshit.

(18,124 posts)and share the complete weariness of living in a world where animals like this can kill children and say, "this is war" with no compassion or sympathy. No one is "right" when it comes to murder like this.
