"Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans."
A progressive young American couple was killed in an Islamic State-claimed terrorist attack last month while on a bike trip around the world.
Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, who were both in their late 20s, quit their jobs in 2017 to embark on a trip around the world. Austin, a vegan, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian, decided that they're were wasting their lives working.
"I’ve grown tired of spending the best hours of my day in front of a glowing rectangle, of coloring the best years of my life in swaths of grey and beige,” Austin wrote on his blog before he quit. “I’ve missed too many sunsets while my back was turned. Too many thunderstorms went unwatched, too many gentle breezes unnoticed.”
The couple documented their year-long journey on social media until it came to a tragic and gruesome end in Tajikistan, a country with a known terrorist presence.

Only a slight craziness level.
“They proved ISIS is kind,...”
I guess it was a mercy killing.
LOL !
“The experiment proved the hypothesis to be incorrect.”
Some folks get their funding yanked by the government.
Others get their card stamped by the terrorists.
At least now we won’t have to read about “...initial findings are promising, with the entire report out in the spring of 2019.”
A vegetarian just doesn’t eat meat. A vegan won’t wear leather or use any type of animal products that might be found in cosmetics, etc.
These terrorists just needed good paying jobs...according to leftist/holdovers.
Wonder if they admitted they were wrong before evil wiped them out.
My gut says no.
I believe there should be a Leftist campaign to pick-up where the last two blew-up good. SHOW the rest ‘how it’s done’.
And keep it up ‘til the journey is complete.
*One can wish, no?*
Thanks, folks....
Well, they sure showed us.
Prayers for two misguided souls.
Well, yes, in over 60 years of life here in the middle if the USA, I find that to be true also, BUT, it is still necessary to watch out carefully for the rather significant minority of humans who are not so nice.
For most of us this is somewhat like being a 4" bluegill in an average pond: maybe 80% of the rest of the fish in that pond are not a threat (especially if you stay clear of spawning beds and such.) But, that other 20 %...
THESE fools, however, decided they'd be little bluegills and go visit a lake full of gar...
Reminds one of the Rush Limbaugh classic, “In a Yugo.”
I’ve worn aviator framed sunglasses for 45 years. Don’t give a damn if they are in or out of “style”.
“Something seriously wrong with west civilization. The way these young couple was the result of living in west civilization. You can argue liberalism is the cause. But liberalism is part of west civilization”
Western civilization without the Bible is as futile as any other failed system of “learning”.
All of their fantasies: people are naturally good, evil is a construct to explain away diversity... all absolute folly !
Proverbs 22:
The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
agreed
Play stupid games....win stupid prizes.
My tag line.
Well that’s one way to get red-pilled.
Looks like Janine Garofalo and Pauly Shore.
