Oslo youth camp leader - "Although he (gunman) took their lives away, he can never take away
"Although he (gunman) took their lives away, he can never take away what they believed in and were passionate about. They believed in tolerance and anti-racism."

These kids would have been the future leaders of a socialist progressive movement,and this guy hated that.

7. "how long do we have to wait to see a right wing youth camp attacked so we can see some of their
"...kids being killed?"

Are you seriously saying this?

That is sick and hateful, and I categorically reject it.

9. Part of me briefly ...BRIEFLY thought the same thing. But the answers you received are correct.
It does seem like a fucked up world that the peaceful people just get slaughtered and 'take it'. And that the violent people can just laugh and think that they are 'tougher' or stronger or have bigger balls or schlongs or whatever.

But if there's any violent response ... then what? Then we'll be living in a war torn shithole for centuries.

Someone has to stay focused and run the country and act like a sane person. Even as these animals tear at our sides.
Beside, not sure about you but I DEFINITELY wouldn't EVER have it in me to start shooting people. And kids?

Pffft.

That's just too fucked up a thought to even entertain.

10. my dad told me that killing kids gave him nightmares even though
the kids in question were armed and shooting at him and other soldiers at the time. he has had nightmares since he left vietnam in 1969. shooting kids fucks up any normal person but i digress the right wing is not normal

11. Killing anyone, I imagine would 'affect' you greatly...I can only imagine.

But yeah, life is basically shit.
Personally, I agree with the old saying, "It takes a town to raise a barn and ONE jackass to knock it down" ...taken to a global scale I don't see how anything ever gets better. 'Idiocracy' to the extreme. Yet here we are. No one is getting hung for being a witch. Literacy and heath is up (over the las 100 years). Etc Etc.

Still, 'life is shit' (to paraphrase the Buddha)....I'm not backing down on that, one of my core beliefs.:D

12. So its official the guy was a far right extremist and not a Muslim?
At least I was right on that point, not that my family would believe me even if I show them proof. They'll likely blame it on an Obama cover up.
