I'm not saying anyone deserves to be killed, but if you vocalize strong, narrow opinions, you have to be prepared for people to disagree...

The stronger your views, the stronger your opponents will come on. It's human nature and the risk you take by vocalizing your perspective, in any situation. To act like it's shocking when any extremist is killed is to pretend you don't know what's going on in the world right now. It's playing dumb.

Innocent lives are lost every day and dealt with privately because their lives are not lead publicly.

I don't have any particular thoughts on the matter, but I gotta say, the selective empathy is disturbing. I've been observing the arguments, and I simply think humanity is sick.

I'm on the side of peace of compromise, and I know it's the losing team. No matter what I say about harmony, someone is going to call me a name and explain to me how stupid I am.

We're all a bunch of monkeys.

These lines from John Donne come to mind
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece
of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by
the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's
death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and
therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for
thee.
