Try to show some sensitivity.

My reaction is: go away.

No better than a childish fart joke.

and then let's get another thread about how many people are killed by lightening.

Yep, anything to change the subject from the fact that innocent children were murdered today by a gun....
er.... a person with a gun.

(gun worshippers added to Ignore today). I've a feeling it's not over.

Each death senseless and horrifying. The grief of the families is nearly insurmountable. I can not imagine.

We should care about what happens in the US and what the US does abroad.

No, we don't need to be discussing what the US does abroad at this precise moment. It can well wait until tomorrow or the next day.

It's equally tragic when either an Pakistani or an American is murdered.

Anytime, especially after a mass murder, is a good time to condemn murder. Anytime is a good time to talk about the ways to reduce murder, whether gun control or much larger weapon control.

I don't disagree with you in concept, but your timing is less than appropriate.

President Bush nor Obama intended for any one of those kids to be killed

When we start thinking about the lives of Afghani children as having the same worth as our own...then, and only then, will we start to care what's being done in our name.

This is a great time to talk about the US Government mass murder campaigns in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Their children are just as valuable as our children. We are all members of this world.

but nevertheless they are. There's the similarity.

Equating the lives of Pakistani children to American children is not in any way diminishing the lives of American children. That would be a racist view.

is a DU member that wants to use drones to kill all the gun owners. Talk about Nuts.

I'll take it a step further and say: You are trolling.

any attempt at a point they might be trying to make.

Using this horrible tragedy as political leverage is despicable and low.

(edit typo)

but point taken.

It's so fucking goddamned tragic. I've been on the verge of tears or in tears since Friday & during this time I've wondered how many children do we kill a week with drones & our wars? How many children die around the world from lack of potable water? What a fucking simple fix is that? And yet we lack the political will to do anything about it. As a species we seem to be in a downward spiral, socially. Sometimes I think that's what the Mayan 2012 thing is all about. We evolve socially or we self-destruct. It's now or never. We recognize we're in this together in a finite system or we go down in flames.
