How much more bloodshed will we have to incur before we wake up and realize we're all born into this world as one. To be granted life as equal human beings with our differences that separate us by cultures and coming together and accepting one another for who we are?

Since 9/11, I can't even stress how often I turn on the news and want to cry, whether it's school shootings or terrorist attacks. How much longer will we have to keep updating our history books with every incident that occurs on our ground? Is this part of the human cycle? You can't have love without hatred? Is it a balance that controls our world and keeps it from going out of whack?

People need music in their lives. I listen to so much music and it makes me so happy and forget my problems I face everyday. When their is so much hatred and evil upon this world, I always ask myself, do they even listen to music?

And not to get too religious on this thread, since it may, most likely get closed, but where is God in all this? The only explanation I can get or understand is something from the movie, "God's Not Dead."

I will always believe religion is the source and the core of all evil and hatred in our past and current present life. It's really sad. We preach one thing, but act another. Religion seems to do the opposite. And another quote from "Thug Holiday," by Trick Daddy.

RIP to all the victims in this world who have lost their lives to senseless acts of violence bred by ignorance. It's a stretch, but I hope in my lifetime we all stand united and see peace, but like the balance of life, you can't have peace without war. Continuous cycle. There will always be a threat that spawns out of the darkness into our light.

tbh it's just a few... who interpret it wrong and push their own agenda whilst hiding behind religion. and they do not represent the religion they are pushing down

If religion didn't exist humans would find another substitute to create conflict. As long as free will exists, conflict is inevitable as reflected by human history.

!!!!!!
People who blame religion on terrorism are just

I know what the problem is
Unfortunately nothing can be done about it

Boo-****ing-hoo. There's always going to be bad in this world. I know that right now is a scary time for the world but there's nothing that we can do about terrorist attacks, school shootings, wars, bigotry etc.

We live in a world where we get up to the second updates. There is almost nothing we can't search that has happened in the world. It's not that world has got worse it's more televised and it makes it seem much more scarier.

The world was always like this and always will be
Scary but true

humans are EVIL

Listen to Billy Joe's We Didnt Start the fire.

Anyhow just to show you how crazy our world is: The Wall Street bombing, as the event is now known, occured just after noon on Thursday, September 16, 1920. A wagon loaded with a bomb containing dynamite and 500 pounds of small iron weights parked in front of 23 Wall Street. The corner building was then the headquarters of J.P. Morgan & Co., the nation's most powerful bank. At 12:01 pm, the timer on the bomb reached zero and a terrific explosion rocked the street.

Thirty people—and one horse—died instantly from the blast. Another eight died later from the injuries they sustained. Hundreds were injured, some by shrapnel on the street, others by the glass that rained down from the broken windows of the J.P. Morgan building. The blast was so forceful that, according to a bystander quoted in the New York Times the next day, a trolley carrying passengers two blocks away was "thrown from the tracks by the shock."

Also in 1998 before some of you were probably born there was a school shooting in Arkansas and in 1999 there was Columbine. The media and parents blamed "South Park" as a reason why the kids shot up people.

But in reality every generation in the US is guaranteed to have a moment of shock and horror.
Pearl Harbor, Kennedy being shot, the space challenger exploding, 9/11.

Oh crap
Now I feel old as ****
I was 10 in 1998

The same thing that's always been wrong with it.

Evil and violence have always been around. It just seems like much more now because of news media, which hasn't been around that long. Add social media to that, which is much newer and more immediate and you have 24/7 chaos, just about.

I don't watch mainstream news a lot because it isn't totally trustworthy. I'll watch for general info but like to look around on the net to put the pieces together myself. If something doesn't suit the elite's agenda then they either twist it or leave it out altogether.

Remember that one of the ways the elite likes to control the population is by using fear tactics.

Be aware and conscious but not to the point where you're getting depressed. I have to work on this myself. I'm going to have to unplug sometimes if I want to enjoy life in this world as a black woman.

I remember them blaming Marilyn Manson's music and shooter video games.

I also remember that transparent backpacks went into effect at a lot of public schools after that happened. That didn't last long though... Not where I live anyway.

A lot actually but the forefront is white supremacy and privilege.

This is the biggest problem of this world and sadly alot of people are still in DEEP slumber from white supremacy.
Once it's destroyed well start going in the right direction.
