Although I come to FR several times a day, I usually do not post... I prefer to just read your posts, as I am in awe of such an intelligent and creative group of people... I guess I don't post much because I don't want to come off as being dumb.
However, right now I NEED to post. Whether or not anyone wishes to read what I say is not important. I just need to say what I'm feeling inside right now. Please bear with me...
Since 9/11, I have heard many people say that the Arab countries should just be wiped off the face of the earth. Being the good Christian and optimistic person I am (or was), I'd come back with "well, I'm sure there are innocent Muslim women and children who don't deserve to die like that." What an idiot I was for thinking like that.
None of them are innocent--NONE of them. The men don't care about their women or their children... the so-called "innocent" women and children are just as likely to be killers, either now or in the future.
I HATE Muslims. I HATE Islam. Religion of peace my a$$. Muslims are being treated with kid gloves in our own country, so as to not offend them. And it sickens me more than I can say.
This morning, when I saw the video of Steve and Olaf, I got physically ill. I'm very scared for them and praying as hard as I can that they will be released soon. But my gut is telling me this isn't going to end well for them. I pray to God in Heaven that I'm wrong. But we all know what those barbarians are capable of. We've seen what they do when their demands are not met.
I feel as though I'm losing faith in everything that's good. I've never felt this gnawing hate in my soul as I do right now. I don't know how to feel anymore. And I don't know how to deal with it.
I'm tired of being scared.
I apologize for rambling... I just needed to vent. Please don't flame me for my political incorrectness... I feel bad enough already :)

If you can't bring that frustration here, where can you bring it.
