chamina Guns are made for killing. The more guns and the easier they are to get, the more killings there will be. That's what I think.

chamina It's very important to me and it's such a joy to see that though my kids are teenagers (16 & 19) they still enjoy a healthy family vacation. We usually go away for 3/4 weeks to Central America, where I'm originally from. And it just feels so good :)

chamina I guess one should just learn from these episodes. Learn to feel compassion towards others, especially to miserable and bitter people and try not to let their bitterness get into you. Thanks :)
