Default Losing Faith in Americans

I don't know. Is it me?? More Islamic terrorist attacks on our soil , more innocent lives lost and all I can think is we either have the dumbest people living in this country or the most selfish self-absorbed ever. Do people think lets move on, go Xmas shopping , they didn't kill my family (this time). What in the world are we allowing our grandchildren to inherit??? I'm very depressed today. How do people Not care??

You do have to laugh though, when liberals are so willing to call a deranged, homeless guy from the hills of NC, a terrorist. And then turn around and very carefully, not to make hasty opinions about two Muslim killers in Ca that were well armed and organized. Mustn't make the Muslim community angry. Kind of ironic in a warped sort of way.

The incident in Colorado Springs absolutely meets the definition of a terriost attack and I for one will always refer to it as an act of domestic terror.

I watched the coverage deep into the morning and heard many times that the police would not rule out the attack as terrorist.

I also noticed you are quick to include the religion of the CA killers as Muslim but you fail to mention that the CO killer was a "saved" Christian. Why would you fail to mention that?

I don't think it is not caring so much as relief it didn't affect our loved ones or area. Sadly, it is very much part of human nature. It is rubbernecking at an accident site. It is the relief a coalminer's wife feels when she sees her husband after a cave-in. You're sorry it happened but grateful it didn't happen to you. Also, the more often things occur, the more we build up defenses to relieve the pain. The entire nation grieved after Columbine. Most of us were sickened or saddened after the school shooting up north. We were shocked and angered at McVeigh's actions in Oklahoma City. We were devastated after 9-11. Now, we sigh, feel bad for a short while and continue with our lives. And that may be the best revenge of all -- we keep on going regardless.

Red. I think is very sad if true. We keep going, do absolutely nothing about it. Does sound self centered. Sometimes I think I have too much compassion and care too much and feel alone in the journey.

Maybe I should just quit caring, sit back and watch America fall apart but then someday I'm afraid I'll be telling the grandkids how great America used to be

Close the borders and enforce the immigration laws currently on the books.

No sales of guns of any kind to anybody that does not have proof of USA citizenship.

No sales of guns to immigrants who have been in the USA less than 10 years.

Get Obama the hell out of office.

Do not vote for Clinton.

Any sane person feels pretty much the same way, but many people react differently. I try and treat each day as just another fine day...you can stress out, but all that will do is make you miserable and those around you. It's up to you put those feelings aside and get on with your time here. Posting it here isn't the best idea.

That's the point. It's Not another Fine day. Maybe for us because today our children weren't killed but this is going to occur more and more and more when we have no leadership in this country. I give up. I think I hit the nail on the head. Either really dumb Americans or so self absorbed they play iPhone all day and can't be bothered to educate themselves on the biggest threat ever to our society. Islamic terrorism is our biggest threat despite how Obama trys to downplay it and !make U think its global warming

I agree with you that you can't let it consume you, however I also agree with the OP in that there are far too many people who appear to be totally out of touch with world events, politics, and the like. In my opinion, with all that is going on today, we can't afford to be so oblivious. That type of ignorance could result in serious consequences to our country for generations to come. And not sure why posting it here is a problem. It often helps just to know that you're not alone in your concerns. JMHO.....

What does it say about folks like you that insist on staying on here after announcing to everyone how bad it is? Can't you get attention elsewhere? That was an interesting observation, and yet it did not appeal to you, so you deemed it "dumb." And still you stay. I won't say that this is kind of a "dumb" practice, but I am sure you can read between the lines. I was taught to have better manners than to disparage a person just because I don't agree with him/her. But, obviously not all of us had proper parenting. I imagine some of the rudeness seen on here is due to being raised by an unwed mother. Just guessing. I would never accuse anyone on here of that, because it would definitely show a lack of manners.
