Good Morning. What can you say?

We are probably the most loved and the most hated nation on the planet.  {sigh}   Thoughts and prayers going out to folks affected by the attacks, especially families and friends of those that died. Saying a prayer for those injured and for the docs, techs and nurses treating them.

totally HONESTLY .... living in a largely ( ARAB, BURkaeed  etc ) neighborhood now... that we DESERVED this ... 

like a lot of well-meaning  but  to old fashioned European countriez like Holland , the Netherlands , Sweden , Great Britain ... we've allowed  our liberal and kind atittudes to  prevail regarding people who MEAN  ILL FOR US AS A SOCIETY AND AS INDIVIDUALS !!!

If people want to change the structure of our society ... if they mean to force us all into a medieval religious  inquisition-like court and societal structure ... why the HECK are we letting them ( and 16 of their  " relatives " on average that they foster and bring with them ) IN ?!!!!  why are we supporting these folks with our hard earned taxpayer's dollarz .. while American born  hardworking folks can't find jobs, cant find any help and cant survive without hunger and deprivation ?  

Its NOT FAIR , ITS not JUST  and its not RIGHT .  

this is from someone who gets her legs run into by burkaed non - English speaking females EVERY day ... because they are wheeling " SONS " ...GRRRR

Sorry, but I really disagree with you.  No one in the world deserves this type of thing to happen to them.

Its ironic that the Eastern European countriez like Hungary ( where I was born ) ... Russia , the Ukraine R the ones with the LEAST terrorist problemz ... because they simply didnt feel they had the luxury of allowing these people in ... 

AND NOW THEYRE RIDICULOUSLY GRATEFUL THEY DIDN"T .

If a burka or a skullcap or a mullah is seen in Budapest .. he or she is asked to LEAVE  and return to where these things are ACCEPTED .  What is wrong with THAT ?   Why R we tolerating  and even fostering and supporting aggresive  anti-US foreign -born  missionaries who are basically frankly out to destroy the social and political fabric of  our country   ? 

praying for peace and open minds that allow everyone peace.

Praying for all those affected.  We had a lady from here run.  Her and her husband are both safe.  She finished about 30 minutes before the bombs.

It is so sad that such a great event has turned into such tragedy.

It's sad that things like this happen...price of being an open society, I guess...but the flip side is that SO many people were helping those affected...and the entire country was praying.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” Fred Rogers

As my facebook status reads this morning:

As I sa****ching the news on the Boston explosions yesterday I couldn't help but think this is how part of the world lives every single day, bombings and killings are their "normal". I realized the shock and anger we have when it happens on our soil has become a way of life for some on theirs. I pray that never happens in America, and I pray for the people of those countries to get control back so their next generation doesn't have to live with their now "normal".

And Meow if we deserve this it's only because of statements and intolerance like yours. smh

It is very tragic and no one deserves this to happen to them.

There are some purely evil people in the world. :(

I can say I am not surprised that something like this has happened, disappointed, angry, sad, and horrified yes, but not surprised. I truly hope his does not become "normal" for us like it is in other countries. Two ladies that I know of were running that race, one missed the first explosion by just a few minutes. The other one finished earlier. They are both safe, which is a relief to their families and friends. I am praying for the families and friends of those who were stolen from us.
