Everyone, please let us pray to these victim of massacres.
Syria massacres just went erupted when a group of damn army killed 110 innocent peoples. 50 of them are children and most of them are under the age of 10.
Just imagine what if they are your relatives. Let us all pray for them. Hope they're on a better place right now. RIP.

I've removed your video. Posting a link to an article or something is fine, if you really must create a thread without making an effort to discuss your topic, but posting extremely graphic videos of murdered children is rather...inappropriate, to say the least.
Please, I know you have a brain. Use it.

Yes, let's just PRAY over something. Not actually get up and DO SOMETHING. Let's just PRAY and put the LEAST AMOUNT OF EFFORT into something.

I get enraged when I hear a story like this. Leave the children out of this, I wish our government would stand up and say no more. It takes a low person to target innocent women and children. The taliban poisoned a bunch of schoolgirls recently, just because they don't want these girls to go to school. We should do something about these tragedies. What I really don't know.

I know it's upsetting, but if you look at what happens when other countries intervene it doesn't result in a bloodless solution.Originally Posted by iamerror
I know many military forces either claim or actually try to avoid killing civilians, but that's not really possible in armed conflict.
I'm not condoning the atrocity that the OP has mentioned.
Just saying that doing something substantial about the issue usually involves the death and/or hardship of more innocents.
So yeah...what to do about it

Yeah, that's the worst part of this situation. It's a no-win.

Using military force to try and "prevent" or "intervene" actions that a sovereign nation does within it's own boarders causes more bloodshed than it was trying to stop. Ultimately, doing nothing at all seems to be the best option.

Its good that many of you care about this kind of situation. These kids are torture to death. Most of them were killed brutally. I just couldn't imagine the situation.
How shit this world can be with this kind of human races. Just because of power and money, they decided to do something beyond than evil.

It's been happening for a long time dude.
History is full of bad stuff, it's just more in your face now (and probably the last 100 years or so) because of media.
We're all the same species, but some look for reasons to commit horrible crimes.

I know and great example will be what the damn nazis did to the jews.
There must be a way to put this situation down in Syria. Now, I'm kinda agree if United States really want to attack Syria just like what they did to Iraq but this time the purpose is to destroy that damn government and save the folks of Syria.
Tired of this world
Well. I feel sorry for them
It is sad that this happen over the other end of the world... but is even more sad that horrible things are happening to children here too.
I wonder what will be of their families tomorrow. For now, I guess this song composed for Sri Tragedy may comfort a bit:

I mean... I dont have words to say... and I can do nothing :/

We do not even have to imagine if they are relatives or not, I mean, if that happened to a sibling of mine that age I wouldSyria massacres just went erupted when a group of damn army killed 110 innocent peoples. 50 of them are children and most of them are under the age of 10.
Just imagine what if they are your relatives.
most certainly be grieving for her/him for indeterminate time, but even being children I never saw before, suffering done to
children are the thing that saddens me most above anything. And there are things being done to children that, to me, are
worse than death itself. It actually brings me tears to eyes if I let myself revolve around these injustices...
It is good of you to show concern for this issue though, especially because I am of the opinion that,
with no doubt, most people nowadays need to be a lot more sensible to others' suffering and pain.
Well, I understand the feeling of empathy behind those words, and I think it is more than clear you hate
the injustices and atrocities being made and you wish the suffering would cease. I appreciate that you
have the sensibility to make such request. But I think the act of praying itself, raises some questions:
- To whom will the prayers be directed?
- What words should we use in such prayers?
- And would praying really help?
I am asking these sincerely. The point of my questions is not to "shove " or trying to be sarcastic in some way, implying that having beliefs
means the person does not follow logic, for that is not true. I would just like to know what, specifically, do you mean with "praying for them".
I have strong reasons to believe that upon death, all the ability to feel and think, therefore including the pain,
goes with the organs that make those things possible. That does not state that there is no hope at all, but the
ones who perished are certainly not suffering anymore...
I wanted to write you the following in a visitor message, but since they are disabled, I will just post this here:
I have a positive view of the future, nevertheless, and I know if we let our thoughts revolve on
the endless terrible things that are going on in this crazy world our emotions will be negative,
be it due to the outrage or sadness, and that might prevent us from helping the ones around us.
Sometimes to help a person close to us a good word is more than enough. (unfortunately, in most
cases, a good word is the only thing we can do to help ease one's pain).
What I really mean is, do not let these things bring you down.

I hate that army. It will probably be on the South African news today.Syria massacres just went erupted when a group of damn army killed 110 innocent peoples. 50 of them are children and most of them are under the age of 10.
(EDIT ON 28 MAY 2012, 11:44 (I THINK):
Yep, it was on the news. For an hour. No weather forecast or anything else.)
That and it would give some people nightmares. Like me.
Poisoning them only to prevent them from going to school. That is definitely evil.
In fact, murder is evil.

Read an update on the Wiki page for the event(s):
The source cited for that particular bit of information was this article, which I also read. A piece that I found particularly heartbreaking was found toward the end:On May 27, the Syrian government renewed shelling on Houla, and set up snipers in the area in an apparent attempt to prevent any more civilians from speaking with observers.
It's rather sad that they are so accustomed to death that they feel they can accept murder, to a smaller degree."The first stopped and asked who was there in the home. I answered, 'my daughter and the wife of my son,' and told them there were no men inside.
There were only women and children.
"One of them remained outside and the other came in and pushed them into the corner and started firing at them. I survived because I remained standing behind the door."
She said the dead included her grand-daughter, aged four, grand-son, aged three, and the child of a cousin, also aged three. "Entire families were killed," another of the women crying in the background breaks in.
"Had they killed one person only, we would have accepted that patiently. We are accustomed to death. More than 100 people were killed. We searched for shrouds to cover and bury them, but found none."
Indeed. There's a reason that people come home from wars with psychological trauma. Obviously, there's no comparison between viewing a single video and spending years of your life in combat, but the principle is the same. The images of a massacre, especially of children, are disturbing and should be handled with discretion.

How did I overlook this one?
These are the things that move me to the point I run out of words to describe...
Seriously, God, what is going on in the head of such people? That is perfid... I... if I had children I would
treat them with so much love and care and want them to be happy and enjoy life, heck! Even with children
that are not mine I tend to nurture them like they were my own. So, for monsters that make these sort of
atrocities, I really cannot see a use for them besides not exisiting.
I cannot even imagine how it must have been... the world is really messed up. And here I am, at my computer, I mean,
can someone really say it has a "problem" after facing this? Is it just me or does anyone here also feel that the majority
of the human race is being driven by hatred, greediness, selfishness and all sort of evil characteristics?
