does anyone else not feel sorry for the kenya folks that burned to death?

[needtogetaas]

it's ok to feel bad for people burning to death, regardless of the circumstances. it's your choice whether or not to give your sympathy to even the worst people. sympathy is hard to come by, especially on the internet.
you can paint two very different scenarios based only on a few facts, and that interpretation will determine how you feel about it. i don't know the details, nor do i care to. it's tragic to me, even if they brought it on themselves and deserved it in that sense. those two determinations/opinions are not mutually exclusive.

however, it is a bit odd to emphasize your lack of sympathy by starting a thread about it. i struggle between caring and feeling for others, or not feeling much at all. it's hard for me to hold onto the idea of life as sacred or precious in the face of what the world seems to be. where you stand on that question, on any given day, is the relevant thing here.

wow, angel and 75th really added lots to this thread topic that was useful.

Yes. You are correct, we should have came in slanging insults due to the fact that others do not agree with our thoughts. Then go on to bitch about this site, yet post on it daily.

Please forgive me for being so stupid.

I felt sorry for the soldiers in the war who died from the IED. I know people who argue that 'they got what they deserved' and 'they shouldn't of been there'. Nonetheless, for every soldier who dies, there's a family out there who mourns them.

I feel sorry for those who have burned alive. I hear people say 'they got what they deserved', but there's still someone out there who misses them...someone who needed them...and someone who's sorry that they had to go like that.

good god, who would say something so terrible about the soldiers who died. those were someone's babies. Just like the people in Kenya. Someone's father, someone's brother...

good point.

Being burned alive for stealing some gas is for sure not justic. A friend of mine visited his father in Africa over the holidays not enough money in the world to make me ever want to visit it or live there. All forign workers live in compounds with armed gards etc they travel with gards to and from work prisioner in there little compounds that ain't living to me. Another friend of mine just got back from Isreal he went to be at his grandfathers death bed. He was in the north so no real harm to come to him but that crazy dude actually wants to move back even with all the crazyness. Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks.

A good friend of mine who lost his brother in Iraq due to a cluster bomb.

He could be lying to get my sympathy, but took (and still take) his word for it. I can't imagine the pain that he's still going through years later.
