1 | 35 | p012 | It's terrible to hear about what people have to go through in Haiti after a crisis like hurricane Matthew. I take for granted what it's like to live in an area where I and my family do not have to worry about these situations. I hope everyone receives the help they need in Haiti, as I'm sure they need all of the assistance they can get. | p012_1 |
2 | 35 | p022 | After reading the article, the only feelings i can say that i have is one of sadness. It's terrible that these people had this unfortunate hurricane hit them. There was nothing they could have really done and they definiteyl did not deserve this. The fact that there are little children with no food or water really hurts me. There are most likely animals out there that are in need of food and water as well. | p022_2 |
3 | 35 | p020 | This situation in Haiti is terrible and saddening. no person in this day and age should suffer at the hands of their government while no one does anything to help. It is sad to see such suffering and hungry people. How can a country be that terrible. How does next to nobody help these poor innocent people. | p020_3 |
4 | 35 | p071 | I just read an article about recent tragedies that have taken place on the island of hati. It talked about a hurricane and then the earthquake that happend their. Both were awful, terrible events. Many people were dis placed and chaos ensued. This was because many homes were destroyed and people did not have the chance to settle down after these disasters | p071_4 |
5 | 35 | p010 | In the 21st century, people are still starving after major disasters. This earthquake destroyed Haiti and in my opinion, there was not enough food that was brought in from other countries. I constantly wonder how this continues to be such a slow, slow process. I have been to Haiti and the country is hard enough just to live without major catastrophic disasters. | p010_5 |
6 | 213 | p030 | I just read an article about a baseball player who was killed with two other men when his boat crashed at high speed. They really made a concerted effort to paint this guy as a saint and I'm sure that he was a nice enough person, but the circumstances of his death were very mysterious. I wouldn't be surprised if drugs or alcohol were involved. | p030_6 |
7 | 213 | p068 | Reading this story just made me feel so sad. Reading about him you could tell he was just a great guy that everyone loved and did alot to give back. It is sad how easily life can be taken. You can also see the team cherished him as they even got a visa and brought over his mother for him. People will really miss him in the community and team and that is the best thing to leave behind a legacy. It is so odd that they went full speed into the rocks, I wonder if some kind of medical emergency happened as they said they did not suspect drugs or alchol. It is also sad that two other people lost there lives. Time is very precious on this earth | p068_7 |
8 | 213 | p054 | Jose Fernandez, a pitcher for the Miama Marlins baseball team, was killed in a tragic boating accident. He was only 24 years old when he and two others were found dead near the entrance of Miami Harbor. Coast Guard employees found his boat upside down and found the three victims lifeless nearby following this accident. | p054_8 |
9 | 213 | p022 | After reading the article, my initial and first reaction is that i felt really bad for the player. There are things like accidents that we can't control and the fact that it happened to this person is very unfortunate. I feel really bad for the person and for the family of the player as well. I really hope he can make a full recovery and is able to find something he really enjoys. | p022_9 |
10 | 213 | p039 | Its a shame what happened to that pitcher after all the struggles he had to get to the position he was in he died in a terrible boating accident it seems that fate does not care who you are when it is your time to die you will die in the exact time and place that you were meant to die I guess its life. | p039_10 |
11 | 78 | p039 | Its amazing how people facing the toughest hardships can turn their life around and really make something of yourself if you put your mind to it. His brother converted to Islam that probably helps people in Jail when you need some structure to really get yourself in a place where you can learn about yourself | p039_11 |
12 | 78 | p062 | I guess I feel bad whenever these stories involve the depiction of children struggling. Putting kids into foster homes where they must feel so confused and alone and scared makes me feel for them. On the other hand, there's a reality to these situations that can't be ignored. The real germ of these childrens' problem was their mother going to jail. That's the germ. After that they have to be raised by someone. And then the children compound their problem by being delinquents. I knew a boy who'd been adopted after growing up in a very violent environment. The damage had already been done. He tore apart the adoptive family and ruined his own life. He's in jail in China now, for 20 years. These situations are horrendous, but the fault lies with the parents, not the state. | p062_12 |
13 | 78 | p068 | This article really maes you think about the foster care system in america. We are one of the richest and advanced nations but yet our foster care system is low and bad. Compared to europes who keep the parental rights kids are left to wonder here. Children like this situation who have no structure get put in foster care and seen as bad ids when in reality they just need more love affection and direction.There should be more care done for these children as there life is just bad from the time there put in care. I feel so sorry these brothers had to grow up like this but happy he turned his life around got an education and is now in a career to help others and foster care children. | p068_13 |
14 | 78 | p030 | I just read an article about a few siblings who went through the foster system in Kentucky and all ended up in prison for different reasons. Eventually, one of them went on to attain a masters degree and work with people who have to deal with similar circumstances. Unfortunately, I think this story is all too common with children who go through the foster system. | p030_14 |
15 | 78 | p019 | This kind of stuff makes me sad to hear... I'm glad that it seems that he rose above it, but a kids life should never be this hard or sad. Kids should not have to worry about where their going to live or who their going to live with. They should just have to be kids, and focus on learning and growing. | p019_15 |
16 | 336 | p035 | India is being effected by a capitalist mindset. The money and power generated by the coal mines seems to be more important than human life along with the lives of local animals. Humans and elephants are suffering because of the coal mines. The lost of habitat for the elephants is driving them into local villages in search for food. Human are being compensated very little for the lost of land. It sad all around. | p035_16 |
17 | 336 | p023 | The government of India makes a lot of money from coal production, but they do not take into account who this is affecting the most. Both the people and the elephants are being hit the hardest, not to mention the forests that are being destroyed. There have been 75 deaths of people and 30 deaths of elephants. People are having respiratory problems. Just imagine the children being affected. It's a travesty. People need clean air and water to live and it's like the government doesn't care. Someone needs to step up and do something. | p023_17 |
18 | 336 | p074 | The people in India are in a dilemma that's based on greed, like most things. The poorer population is suffering heavily by the country's dependence on coal. The impact of it is already severed. I'm really surprise that there is even enough of an elephant population that can cause so much trouble, but in the end it isn't their fault either. | p074_18 |
19 | 336 | p035 | I feel bad for the elephants and the people who live next to the mines in India. I know that America used a lot of coal as it was industrializing, so it is hard for me to blame India for what they are doing to the people and animals. It seems like the people are promised and do not get so little compensation for their lost due to the coal mines. | p035_19 |
20 | 336 | p019 | It's so sad to read this kind of story... Poor animals that can't really do much to defend themselves being destroyed, for what? Money? Greed? It's awfully sad. And in a country like India, it doesn't seem like the government is too interested in doing anything to fix or remedy this, so I bet it will just continue to get worse and worse. | p019_20 |
21 | 281 | p041 | I have very neutral feelings toward the article. I do not condone suicide in any form, but I also respect the right of a person to choose to end their life. I do not feel grieved or bothered by Mrs. Brampton's passing. I hope she did not suffer, but it is clear that she did not want to live an that was her choice to make. | p041_21 |
22 | 281 | p035 | Depression is a major factor in all of our lives. I believe that everybody gets depressed it is that some of us are better with dealing with it. She took her own life after being a very successfully person. It shows me that money,worth and fame do not matter when it comes to depression. It is sad that she did not get the help she needed in time. | p035_22 |
23 | 281 | p059 | I read this awful article today about this columnist in the UK who committed suicide by walking into the sea. She had sought help on multiple occasions, but ultimately she was always turned away, and they would say she was "out of crisis." She was always crying out for help pretty directly, which some people don't even do, and still she was turned away. The state of mental health care can be so awful. | p059_23 |
24 | 281 | p050 | We always think the moment someone is rich and have enough money to throw around, they are void of worries and life problem. I mean here is someone who was bold enough to ask for help yet no one reached out to help. I feel so bad knowing this. Depression is real and hit even the most unsuspecting people. It is so bad that she died without anyone showing her true love. | p050_24 |
25 | 281 | p010 | Sally Brampton dies at age 60 from suicide. Another life lost due to the convoluted medical care mess. It makes me extremely sad. I, too, have suffered from dark depression for the last 10 years. I think daily it would be awesome to die. Medications do not work for me. I was born this way and people who know nothing about the intricacies of this terrible disease do not understand. It's our wiring and absolutely nothing helps when you have had it your entire life. You are exhausted. | p010_25 |
26 | 171 | p030 | I just read an article about the Islamic State's treatment of Christians in Mosul. The more I hear about these militant religious groups the more I think they want to force the timeline of human history backward. I believe their ultimate goal is to unmake thousands of years of human progress so that the most brutal and insensate among us can rule with absolute certainty over those who are not bold enough to challenge them. The seismic shift of politics to nationalism and authoritarianism only reinforces this point. | p030_26 |
27 | 171 | p005 | I am writing as regards my thoughts on Christians from Mosul, brutalized by the Islamic State and betrayed, in some cases, by neighbors, and nothing ? not the priest?s pleas, not his invocation of Cain and Abel ? seemed likely to heal those scars. Khalid Ramzi, a congregant, seemed to choke on the sermon. I was so sad by this event and i hope something urgent is being done as soon as possible so that this will not happen anymore. | p005_27 |
28 | 171 | p043 | I can understand why Christians are leaving Iraq after all those atrocities committed by Isis. The Christians were kidnapped, tortured and eventually killed and dumped in unmarked mass graves. It's really sad that this could happen primarily because of religious differences. It's great that France granted some people asylum and I hope our government did the same. Those people need to be rescued so they can rebuild their lives. | p043_28 |
29 | 171 | p019 | I think that this sounds like a kind of story that should not be happening anymore.... It seems so outdated and I don't get, with how far advanced we are, why this kind of stuff is still happening. Why are people still basing things on the Bible? Why aren't we actually studying things and using real stuff to develop as humans. | p019_29 |
30 | 171 | p030 | I just read an article about the persecution of the different religious groups in Mosul due to the advance of ISIL and the violence between them and the U.S. backed Iraqi government. It's crazy to think about people's entire lives being destroyed; their homes, businesses, churches every place with any kind of significance is leveled and they have no reason to stay. I honestly don't know why the government is encouraging them to come back. There's nothing to come back to. | p030_30 |
31 | 386 | p013 | I just read an article about veterans and PTSD. It was really sad to learn about how many people suffer from PTSD. The article talked about how many veterans are affraid to seek help. It is a condition that they will live with for the rest of their lives but they can recieve help if they reach out for it. I have been through some things in my past that I think are similar to what soldiers go through daily. Could you imagine being sad and feeling like the whole world is against you? I went to prison for a crime I did not even commit. It was horrible for me because it wasnt like I could tell anybody I was innocent, they was all innocent if you let them tell it. I can only begin to imagine what our veterans are going thrugh. We owe it to the veterans to help them | p013_31 |
32 | 386 | p005 | I want to address this topic and show my exact thoughts as regards the newly elected president who has insulted decorated war veterans and suggested that post-traumatic stress disorder is a sign of weakness. I do not angry with this statement as it is so disrespectful to me and such veterans should not be disrespected as such. And all the citizens should make sure this mistake is being corrected. | p005_32 |
33 | 386 | p024 | PTSD is something I personally know because I have friends with it. It is no joke and really makes people feel vulnerable. The troubles of war are something real dangerous and really make you think twice about enlisting. I think we must do what we can to research this and hope for better outcomes for people. | p024_33 |
34 | 386 | p062 | I'm tired of listening to people whine about PTSD. These guys can't win a war and then come home and bitch about their nightmares and feelings. Then they have the audacity to tell me I should care. They're the ones who signed up to fight. They're the ones who apparently couldn't take it. And they say, "You can't understand." What I do understand is that a whole generation of young men went and experienced stuff equally as brutal in World War I or II, or even the civil war, and then built the strongest nation in the history of the world--without complaint. Why are people such pussies nowadays? They are. Whether that's their fault or not is another story, but people are pussies. WWII vets saw unspeakable horrors and didn't whine about it. | p062_34 |
35 | 386 | p022 | After reading the article, i just feel really bad for people that have been in war, especially veterans. The stuff that they saw in war was already bad enough but they still have to suffer once they are out of war as well. I can only imagine the toll is has on them mentally as well as physically. Their suffering probably brings suffering to their families as well. | p022_35 |
36 | 58 | p032 | While we do think about the human suffering caused by war and poverty, we rarely consider the effects these have on animals. It just makes these situations all the more heartbreaking. When I think about animals in zoos - animals that have been removed from their native lands, only to starve to death. I'm suprised more animal rights groups haven't become involved - really, if all those angry vegans out there spent more time helping animals and less time pontificating to the rest of us, they would do far more good. | p032_36 |
37 | 58 | p015 | The article in itself is extremely depressing. Animals starving due to a Country also starving. There's nothing that can be done for these animals as they're just in an unfortunate circumstance. It's astonishing that this is allowed to happen in general though. They are helpless creatures starving to death because nobody is helping them. There should be charities that make this impossible to happen. | p015_37 |
38 | 58 | p039 | I feel bad for the animals in the zoo they should not be allowed to keep animals like that when people are starving in the streets I also see how we are to blame for the starvation with our sanctions we are basically the big bully in the world telling people to do what we want or else we will cut you off | p039_38 |
39 | 58 | p029 | This was alarming to read. Not just the animals but the people too starving and suffering. The whole situation was just unbelievable. I'm not sure what can really be done. Venezuela has tremendous systemic problems that I think would take a long time to fix. In the meantime, it is terribly sad that the living creatures must continue to suffer like this. People eating horses for Meat? It is unbelievable and really inhumane. | p029_39 |
40 | 58 | p022 | After reading the article, i couldn't help but feel really sad for the animals that are in the zoo. They deserve better than this. Thinking about zoos make me feel disgusted in general because animals are being locked up just for our viewing pleasures. I think that in the future, zoos should be made illegal because the animals should be out in the wild and roaming free. | p022_40 |
41 | 289 | p002 | I felt that this article did a good job of describing what it is like to go through cancer. I have known a few people that had to deal with a situation like this and I feel that a lot of people just kind of go to pieces when they get diagnosed. If more people faced the problem head on then there would be a lot less helplessness. | p002_41 |
42 | 289 | p034 | Did you see Shannon Doherty's interview about cancer? I related to so much of what she said, about letting go of who she thought she was supposed to be and also about how she would look at her husband and think how sorry she was. I know exactly how that feels. Who would have thought Brenda would still have an impact on me 25 years later. | p034_42 |
43 | 289 | p050 | Cancer s really not a good way to die. I am yet to get my head around the cause. It is always painful when people doe as a result. The last moment are always tearful for me and I usually find it very hard to stand it. I wish more research can be done to combat it...since no one really know the cause. | p050_43 |
44 | 289 | p050 | Cancer is a very dangerous disease and I love the fact that the woman fought to the end. I however hope more attention will be on the causes so people can properly prevent it. It always have a sad ending and only few people are able to survive it. I still believe the cure is out there but pharmaceutical companies are deliberately hiding it. | p050_44 |
45 | 289 | p039 | Its sad to see her have cancer but I really don't care I hate how celebrities feel like we need to care about them it makes me sick millions of people die and we never know their names why don't we celebrate these people who are the normal people of the world we need to care about each other instead | p039_45 |
46 | 210 | p024 | I feel like overall it is quite sad that this happened and it should have been prevented by the proper authorities. I feel like as a people we should do what we can to prevent these things. I feel like the fact that the city reacted well is a good sign. I think they did the right thing in not letting muslims security personnel enter as you have to take all precautions necessary. | p024_46 |
47 | 210 | p035 | I still remember that day when the shooting in Paris happened. I'm happy that the band went back and spoke with the people in the town hall meeting. I was a little sad by the comments made by the one band member stating that he believed that Muslim security helped the shooters.That kind of thinking is hurtful. The people who did the shooting are monsters, but that does not include all Muslims. | p035_47 |
48 | 210 | p035 | I feel sorry for the people who lost their life during something that didn't really have anything to do with them. I thank the band the eagles for going back and performing for the people. I do not see what the terrorist get from this. It makes their religion more hateful. I know that a cartoon was drawn that was very disrespectful but this is not the answer. | p035_48 |
49 | 210 | p020 | This is such a sad reality we live in now a days. When all you want to do is have fun for one night and forget the stresses in life this happens. In was nice of the band to show up to the memorial that honored all of the victims. It is so sad to think about this happening. Those poor people were just trying to have fun. | p020_49 |
50 | 210 | p024 | When tragedies like the one in Paris happen we must dig down deep and look for proper solutions. I think we need to research what goes through people's heads when they commit crimes like this.It was a little racist for one of them to say muslim security collaborated with the criminals. That was a bad thing to say. | p024_50 |
51 | 49 | p061 | This is so upsetting. Polar Bears clearly need the ice in order to hunt for their food. Without the ice, how will they get food? The Polar Bears will slowly starve to death. How horrible is that? When will we wake up and do something about global warming before it is too late? Before we know it, the polar bears will be extinct. So sad. | p061_51 |
52 | 49 | p074 | This article really focused on the science side of things. Despite using the polar bear it won't make a strong emotional appeal. The changes reported in the research are considerable and should worry the reader. Such change in the Arctic will also be reflected in populated areas in other weather pattern changes. | p074_52 |
53 | 49 | p009 | Dear friend, I have just finished reading an article that has made me upset. The article was about polar bears and the problems they are facing due to the shorter ice season in recent years. It is very troubling because the bears are suffering and dying due to the shortened ice seasons. I really hope scientists can find a solution soon. | p009_53 |
54 | 49 | p005 | I am writing as regards my thoughts on Polar bears, the poster-child for climate change, are among the animals most affected by the seasonal and year-to-year changes in Arctic sea ice, because they rely on this surface for essential activities such as hunting, traveling and breeding. It is really sad that as a result of climate change the polar bear are now suffering. | p005_54 |
55 | 49 | p016 | I get so frustrated when I read articles like this, because I know so many people who just plug their ears and act like nothing is happening and everything is fine, when it's clearly not. We're destroying entire species if not the planet with our willful ignorance if not straight out denial, and I'm afraid it's going to be too late to do anything. | p016_55 |
56 | 72 | p041 | I am not surprised that the nations of Africa are having difficulty agreeing on conservation efforts for elephants. There is much disharmony politically between them. Africa is home to a number of endangered and threatened animals. I think the global community has to be involved in these conservation efforts. | p041_56 |
57 | 72 | p043 | It's somewhat surprising that the EU wasn't in favor of making all elephants appendix 1. I can understand the population argument but you'd think that they'd be all over protecting elephants. I really didn't like that part about the couple countries voting to reopen the ivory trade. What's weird is the countries that want ivory trade have great elephant population statistics and the countries that want to protect elephants don't. | p043_57 |
58 | 72 | p058 | it's crazy how elephant poaching is still a thing. Nearly 1/3 of all elephants have been poached just because of the ivory. I cannot believe this is still going on. There needs to be more done to stop this. They are gonna end up causing these elephants to go extinct and then what? For some ivory? This makes no sense at all. | p058_58 |
59 | 72 | p019 | I hate hearing stories like this... It really makes me nervous that elephants are going to go extinct. That generations will grow up never getting to see one in real life. And that a whole breed, of a beautiful amazing creature, will cease to exist soley because humans can be evil and selfish and cruel. | p019_59 |
60 | 72 | p010 | This is the saddest article ever. All these beautiful Savannah Elephants being called for the ivory.I absolutely do not support killing any elephant for any reason. I do not support elephants in circuses either. As long as their are humans, this will sadly continue. Everyone is me, me, me. I hope huge fines as assessed. | p010_60 |
61 | 150 | p055 | I think it's always tragic when someone dies, but when that someone is a milestone type person it's even worse. How wonderful to be the first Chinese woman to be a fighter pilot and then how tragic to be killed in such a way. I have so much respect for trailblazers and it always seems like such a waste for them to be taken from us in such a seemingly meaningless manner. So proud of her accomplishments. | p055_61 |
62 | 150 | p002 | It sucks that a woman was killed in this manner but these things happen. I am not sure who would actually be to blame for this as these things cannot be predicted. The fact that the female pilot was hit by another aircraft implies that protocols wwere not correctly observed though. The other plane should not have been close enough to hit her. | p002_62 |
63 | 150 | p024 | Its quite sad when crashes like these happen and when they do happen I can't help but feel like something could have been done to prevent it. I feel like as humans we do not do enough to try and prevent all of these crashes. The fact that it was a routine training flight with the aerobatics team makes it worse. IT was also the first woman to fly a China j_10 fighter. | p024_63 |
64 | 150 | p013 | I just read a news article about a plane crash that killed China's forst woman to fly a J-1o fighter. That sounds like a horrible way to die. I am scared of planes for that very reason. There is nothing you can do about it. She was the very first of four woment to fly the J-10 fighter jet. The J-10 is a single engine fighter jet. She was very proud of herself for being the first woman to fly in the fighter jet. | p013_64 |
65 | 150 | p022 | After reading the article, i just felt really sad for the woman. She probably trained really hard and was really excited to get to this point just for it to be taken away. It was an accident so there was really nothing that could have prevented it. It was just bad luck in my opinion and just a really sad tragic event. I really hope her family is fine. | p022_65 |
66 | 138 | p024 | I feel like bullying is not something new and the fact that we still have not done anything about it is repulsive. We are not doing enough in preventing bullying or educating kids about how bad they really are. I think we need to understand that and teach these kids that there are other way to go about things. | p024_66 |
67 | 138 | p035 | I'm happy that France has setup some anti bulling measures. I'm sad for the children who took their own life and the parents and other family members that are left behind to deal with the aftermath. Hopefully the hotline will help a child with the bulling and depression that they are dealing with and they get the help that this needed. | p035_67 |
68 | 138 | p006 | I read about a young teenage girl who committed suicide. She was Parisian and i think 14 years old. She was having trouble in school and i think was being bullied. It saddens me her response to the stresses she was experiencing led to suicide. I can't imagine the sadness she felt and how she maybe felt alone in her situation. I hope her family finds some solace. | p006_68 |
69 | 138 | p029 | I think all these stories about bullying as ultimately so very tragic. It always involves young people getting harmed and taking their lives which is just heartbreaking. Imagine how their families feel. It is so cruel for other students to bully each other and be cruel to each other. It is so very unnecessary and why treat people that way? Why not do unto others as you would have the do unto you? It seems that more and more this happens and people are not teaching their children how to treat other people. | p029_69 |
70 | 138 | p010 | This French article was so distressing. Bullying is by far the worst I have seen in my lifetime. For it be so bad, you feel there is nothing left to do but kill yourself is a massive failure of all those who knew Emilie and did absolutely nothing. I respect her mom for telling her story in hopes that it comforts others who are thinking the same thing. Two girls lost for what? | p010_70 |
71 | 3 | p037 | Hello friend. I heart is heavy and full of grief. What happened was really pathetic. A malfunction with the ride's conveyor belt is suspected to have caused the six-person raft to flip, crushing and drowning two men, aged 38 and 35, and two women, aged 42 and 32, about 2.20pm on Tuesday. It's so sad | p037_71 |
72 | 3 | p043 | I'm amazed that this ride just pass inspection just three days before a horrific accident. Someone needs to be accountable for this disaster. And if I ride is having mechanical problems throughout the day, how about you close it until it can be fixed? These mistakes have ruined several families. And it's even worse because the children watched the adults die. This is so sad. | p043_72 |
73 | 3 | p035 | It makes me mad they the did not shut the ride down and really figure out what was wrong with it. I feel bad for all of those who lost their lives that day. I feel bad for the daughter that had to watch her mother be killed at the hands of a ride that was suppose to be a fun day for the two of them. I do not how she recovers from that. | p035_73 |
74 | 3 | p055 | This is such a sad story. How can going to an amusement park turn into such a terrible ending. It doesn't even seem possible. I've been to Disneyland and to all sorts of fairs growing up and I can't even imagine that such a terrible thing could happen. You are having a great day, making memories and suddenly your life won't ever be the same again. How terrible. I feel for that family. I can't even believe that such a thing could happen. | p055_74 |
75 | 3 | p035 | This worries me every time that I go to a park like this. I know in my mind for the most part they are safe, but I always think about the small percent of an accident like this happening. I feel sorry for the girls. I would hate to lost family members like this and I know is has to be such a traumatizing thing to happen. | p035_75 |
76 | 169 | p030 | I just read an article about a toddler that fell from a high rise apartment after his parents left his bedroom window open. I know that people are quick to jump to parental neglect, but sometimes the only way to keep your apartment cool is to keep the windows open. The recent heat waves across the planet have not helped with this at all. You can't help but feel sorry for the poor family. | p030_76 |
77 | 169 | p013 | I just read an article about a boy falling out of an apartment window and dying. That is so sad he was only 2 years old. The little boy pushed open the screen in his bedroom and fell out of the window to his death. We should all make sure our windows are secure and our kids cannot open them .Omg that poor boy was proably hurting so bad before he died. I cannot imagine what the parents are going through after losing a child in such a manner. | p013_77 |
78 | 169 | p070 | Why do high rises not have a limit on the amount a window can be opened? I understand if you don't have air conditioning it might need to be wide, but why can't we have limits so that a small body can't fall out? It's a terrible thing, and one I'm sure the parents never even considered. Alternative to that I suppose you'd have to not have anything at all a child could climb up to the window on. It's just too sad though, because you would need to not even have a stool - at two, a kid could certainly move one of those. | p070_78 |
79 | 169 | p037 | Hello friend. I'm ashamed to be called a parent after reading this article. How can a parent be so careless. It's shocking! They said the child's mother put him and a sibling to bed about an hour before he pushed the screen out and fell from the window, which had been left open, sounds like pure hogwash to me. | p037_79 |
80 | 169 | p010 | This was a difficult article to read. I cannot image the weight on the parents souls carrying this one action the rest of their lives. They put him to bed, window was most likely open for fresh air, and the little boy with his curiosity pushed the screen and fell. Whew, hard to comprehend. I wish nothing but grace from God to ease the parents suffering. | p010_80 |
81 | 353 | p029 | I found this very sad. I feel very sad for the mother and other family members who might be left behind. It just sounds like such a tragedy that surely was very unexpected. I'm sure the entire family who was remaining was left feeling shocked and totally heartbroken at a double loss. The mother lost a husband and son and any other family members like children would have lost a brother and their dad. The whole thing is just terrible really. | p029_81 |
82 | 353 | p041 | It is sad that the father and son died during their hike. At least they were both with someone they loved. I would not want to be a father who had to witness my own son die. I was also curious as to what exactly happened to the helicopter that was tasked with helping them. I wonder what kind of failure it experienced. | p041_82 |
83 | 353 | p005 | I will be stating my thought over a father and son have died after falling off a cliff during a hike. The two plunged to their death while on a trail next to Shaver Lake in Fresno, California. Which was caused by a helicopter power failure during a refueling and they made an emergency landing, meaning they couldn't get to the pair. I was really sad by this event. | p005_83 |
84 | 353 | p024 | It is quite sad that a father and son fell off a cliff like this after a simple hike. The helicopter power failure however is totally uncalled for and should be looked into by the proper authorities there is no way it should be allowed to happen like that because overall help needs to be there when needed asap. | p024_84 |
85 | 353 | p062 | I think this is sad, although there aren't many details to know what really happened. I can't decide whether I think it was worse or better that they died together. Sort of strange to think what might have happened that cost them both of their lives. You wonder if one of them caused the death of the other. That would be pretty awful. But I guess it doesn't really matter now. It also seems lonely that the rescue people couldn't even get to their bodies. Even though they're dead bodies it seems lonely that they'd be there without getting taken back to civilization. | p062_85 |
86 | 304 | p043 | We really need to take measures to stop the rise of suicide of kids. This stuff should be discussed by parents and potentially in school also. I remember what being a kid was like and I remember being very over dramatic at times when small things went wrong. Just missing a tv show was enough to make me sad at times. And with so much media almost glamorizing suicide, it's important to make sure your kid isn't watching this kind of stuff. | p043_86 |
87 | 304 | p007 | So suicide rates are climbing in our youth today. I know this topic very personally. I suffer from chronic depression and when I was 19 tried to take my own life. What the article says is true. Parents, talk to your kids, be there for them. Listen when they need you to. I had problems with that; and combined with a lot of other trauma, I reached a breaking point. Don't let your kids reach that point. | p007_87 |
88 | 304 | p029 | So teen suicide is on the rise which I find very sad. It seems so avoidable and people are way too young to be making decisions to end their life while they're still a child, I mean what on earth is that about? I Think there has been a lot of things related to bullying that have contributed to this and also just a breakdown of the family in general. Maybe kids don't feel like they have enough support system anymore. I do not know but whatever the reason it is extremely tragic. | p029_88 |
89 | 304 | p022 | I thought what i read in the article was very sad. It's sad that teens and young children are killing themselves because they feel like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. It's especially sad when these children are so young and taking their lives so early when they have the whole world ahead of them. | p022_89 |
90 | 304 | p050 | one would think the increased technological advancement would make people happier and less prone to suicide. It is sad that rather than curbing it, it has escalated it too much. Kids now getting depressed. I wonder why kids of nowadays are softer though. I mean, one would expect stronger kids and more emotional stability since we have everything easy | p050_90 |
91 | 233 | p005 | I am expressing my concern over the fact that Nigeria has launched an investigation into reports alleging that government officials raped and sexually abused women and girls who survived Boko Haram violence. The move comes after Human Rights Watch published a report detailing accounts by dozens of women and girls who said they were sexually abused or coerced into sex. The move was a welcome development and everything should be done to make sure things like this does not happen. | p005_91 |
92 | 233 | p043 | I can't even begin to understand what these women are going through. They finally escape Boko Haram and now they're getting mistreated by the same people that offered aid. These women must've trusted their "saviors" and that trust was abused. This honestly makes me sick. I hope the people who raped these women will be brought to justice and dealt with as harshly as possible. | p043_92 |
93 | 233 | p007 | I think it is abysmal that womena re getting raped in that part of the world. Sexual abuse is no laughing matter and the people who commit these atrocities need to pay for their actions. Taking advantage of someone; no matter their gender, background, or religious preference, is unacceptable. And the fact that not much is being done about it makes it even more disgusting. | p007_93 |
94 | 233 | p063 | I guess that i feel really bad for these people, but it also makes me hate islam even more. you jsut don't see this in the civilized world, but you see it so often in places spurred on by radical islam. I hope they afigure it out. i don't know what the solution is, but these types of things will always happen. | p063_94 |
95 | 233 | p038 | This is sad. So many young women just used by the government. By men who are supposed to be for the people and in a leadership position to treat these women this way is absolutely disgusting. I hope something can be done for these woman. They need counseling. Medical help and lord only knows what all they need. But it should be provided by the government. | p038_95 |
96 | 57 | p043 | It's really uplifting that people would notice animals suffering in a zoo and would plan a really complicated mission to save them. A mission where you need to have diplomatic talks with three different countries!! It really shows that some special people out there won't pass the buck to someone else, expecting someone else to do the heavy lifting to save something. I was really inspired by this article and I hope they end up setting up that animal center in Gaza. | p043_96 |
97 | 57 | p024 | I think there should be STRICT world laws to prevent people and countries that cant have zoos not to have them. It is unfortunate that in 2019 this is s till happening and we should totally fix this. We need to be able to get it right and to be honest the only way is being the world police and stopping them from doing this. | p024_97 |
98 | 57 | p050 | Humans are the most selfish and wicked of all creation. They treat the planet as they like and handle the animals with carelessness, forgetting that they have their own families and emotions. It is so sad that we take these animals away from their natural habitats and treat them unfairly. Mother nature treats them better than we do. | p050_98 |
99 | 57 | p050 | really? world worst zoo? Should we even have anything like that? It is a very pitiable state we've found our self in. Humans keep destroying everything Mother nature has bestowed us with. We pick up animals form their natural habitats, deprive them of social and emotional bondings with their kind and the best we can offer is deplorable habit. | p050_99 |
100 | 57 | p010 | All the poor animals that died in that zoo. They starved to death. They are known for the worst zoo ever. Why would you have such a distinctive zoo and then let the animals starve. Weren't there gatekeepers of the zoo while the military conflict took place. They even fed them occasionally with chickens which is a no no. (: | p010_100 |
