I've been following the child slayings in china too, since they first began back in March.
I can handle news of shiites, kurds, and sunnis. Suicide bombers. Online predators. What have you.
But stabbing kindergartners? c'mon... I gotta draw the line.
My own ideas tend to lean toward what GreyWolf says. It is clear to me China has lost respect for girlhood. The dishonor of womanhood. They are mentally ill because there are no women around to love them. The whole bio-region itself has lost its femininity so vital to peace.
This is the kind of news I can't bare to think about for very long or else I'll succumb to depression myself. Must try to see some good in the world or else be consumed by all the bad.
Timothy Mcveigh killed some kids with his bomb, but somehow I see that as different than plunging a blade directly into a defenseless child's heart.
Like Timothy could disassociate with the murder he'd done, while the chinese murderers seemed to desire the bloody savagery.
I've seen dead mangled bodies on war TV, it's gross but I can forget about it.
Seeing dead children is not something I can forget so easily.
One thing I can say, seeing all this nonsense going on abroad, God bless America.
