Gunman kills 50 at gay club in Orlando?

@teamfreak16 ...Yeah..the problem is that...we have our set of fanatics too. History is a proof that every religion has behaved badly at sometime or the other. So why are we associating it with religion at all, instead of associating it with need to correct injustice and change thinking by orienting folks to do somethings instead of leaving more time on their hands to think about others and develop negative thoughts because of dissimilarities.

Hatred toward whom?

@teamfreak16 It is a vicious cycle that I suppose will never go away.

I thought of that as well.

Well Trump did give "told you so" and suggested Obama to resign for disgrace.

I'm praying for the leaders of the civilized world to get a handle on what these barbarians are doing.

@Smiley881 Do toy think he can really differentiate between the Jihadists and the normal people?

@TheHorse That is what worries me because I think he can't differentiate.

I haven't heard yet what our esteemed presidential candidates have to say yet. I'm glad that some decent Muslims went on TV to condemn this kid of thing. I think some of them fear the loony "Muslims."

Actually, I would ban all places of worship. That way such vague stuff would not proliferate easily. Weirdos!

@TheHorse .. All I am saying is, god has to be in heart, or he is not there. I dreamed of a temple visit last night. :) I get a lot of those dreams, and they do leave me with a feel good factor. lol. I am neither a fanatic, nor a ritualistic person Pony. I am also not somebody who confines herself to one religion. My last visit to a temple was almost a month and a half ago and the feeling is never as good as what I feel when I see temples in my dream. I don't do the ritual prayers at home except for about 2 minutes before my mid-day meal. I pray for all whom I can recall then, and then tell god, stop making me beechy, make me an understanding person, and if I am right, make them understand me. That is all to my belief in almighty. I wonder if more is needed. lol

@vandana7 Places of worship provide a sense of belonging and connection to a lot of good people.

I heard that they had unarmed security at that venue. Strange. I guess it never occurred to anyone that she would be attacked.

@JamesHxstatic When you go to a sporting event, you go through metal detectors and bags are searched. Why not same at clubs and concert venues? We live in a society that is now used to such precautions.

No doubt it will.

@TheHorse His family came from Afghanistan.I am not sure when they came. I thought I read that he had become a US Citizen but that to me doesn't mean anything especially if he is on the FBI watch list.

I don't even know anything about his background at this point. Was he originally from somewhere else?

@TheHorse Yeah Trump already began ranting, putting his foot in house mouth as always

We shall see. I'd think The Donald and Hillary would put different "spins" on the event.

Could be anywhere.

the whole country is going to hell in a hand basket someone (ie) trump should have a go

@aninditasen Yes, it can be motivating. I think it was both anger and sadness over what I saw in Chicago growing up that led me to be a child psychologist specializing in helping poor kids. If people act when they're angry, or become depressed, then those emotions aren't helpful. But if they acknowledge those emotions, let them settle down, and then take rational action, they do serve a purpose.

It makes me more angry than sad.

@TheHorse Can your anger solve the problem?

@TheHorse Yes, especially now that the European Football Championship is held in Paris. Everybody are on alert.

You're right. I don't know how it is in Germany, but the police here are afraid to pursue or catch some bad guys for fear of being accused of being "racist."

It will be interesting to learn about this person's background.
