Best thing about all this current DU anger and animosity is...

[uppityperson]

that so many people care so much about other people in the world. Most of us do not have close connections with people in the war zones, but care so much about them that we get so upset with the absolute crap that is going on. Thank you DUers for caring.





p.s. Freepers, troublemakers, you are getting sorted out, are not included in the thank you. go away

15. deleted? Who would post something nasty here?

maybe one of those uncaring ones I said go away to? Oh well, may you get what is coming to you, whomever you were.

19. Perhaps.

I've seen people here write with a straight face that every truck moving within Lebanon should be bombed, and refer to such barbarism dismissively as "normal war."

I. Kid. You. Not.

7. I have too many online friends in the region

three in Israel, two on the West Bank, one in Lebanon (haven't heard from him) and one in Syria.

This whole thing sickens me. Both sides seem to be killing just for the sheer pleasure of killing.

9. I wish the best for everyone, wish the best of everyone.

It is really difficult to watch and hear and read when we care about others. :pals:

[uppityperson]

10. Thank you viva, if we didn't care, we wouldn't care.

after watching the arguing, the name calling, the calls for civility and working together, it struck me as to why we were doing this. I really didn't want to leave DU, and this helps me want to stay and continue to work with you. We care.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

11. If we didn't care

we wouldn't be here. :hug:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. It was

DU was the only place I felt sane after having another one stolen.

[uppityperson]

17. I came right before that, but got on seriously right after

I was so angry, it was so good to sign in and see how much anger and pain there was amongst other people. Made me feel not so alone.

are usually deep down the most humanist.
