How many children were in the plane crash? WTF happened to caring about all people? What is it, when individuals reach 18 they no longer qualify for your F***king love list?!” Comments and/or input?

What does feminization have to do with valuing children? I am female, and I like to think I would push my kid out of the way of an oncoming truck and take the hit myself, but my hubby would too. But then again, I like to think I would push my hubby out of the way, too.
Does this make me a feminist? Or just a masochist?

I understand what you're saying. People are people, and all those adults in Waco, the WTC, etc. were important to someone and their deaths were sad too.
But kids didn't choose to live in Koresh's compound in Waco, so they're 100% free of responsibility for their deaths. Whatever the terrorists hated about America had absolutely nothing to do with the children on the airplane. And kids have their lives ahead of them, and have the potential to do so much good in the future. Basically, they're more innocent than adults, so people grieve for them more.

I honestly believe that if men could be more feminine, they would be less likely to engage in those activities that are so detrimental to our society and way of life. What is so terrible about being nurturing? Asking about the children doesn't mean we don't care about the adults. It's only because children are so innocent. I certainly hope that you don't and won't have any until you resolve your anger over not coming before a child and probably a woman as well. I wish you could know my husband. HE knows what being a MAN is all about.

Because they are more innocent than many adults and children are often caught up in adult problems when they have absolutely nothing to do with it. Also, people can relate to the "children" thing much more. I feel for children now much more than I did before I had a child. (P.S. the spell check is very easy to use.)

I completely disagree. Last weekend I was with a friend of mine who told me she was being abused by her husband but did not want to leave him. Our laws and our government do nothing of importance to protect women and even kids. I agree that kids shouldn't get out of hand but abuse on them is illegal. A lot of people don't come out and talk about abuse but the law lets offenders go free if they don't "see" any proof. This isn't feminized at all. Men still occupy authority and many abuse it against women.
4 million American women experience a serious assault by a partner during an average 12-month period.

If a individual took a bullet, died, and had no longer written their theory down or advised others approximately it, their theory might 'die' with them. of direction, some techniques may well be 'shot down in flames' in the event that they are no longer able to proceed to exist the attempt of a burning verbal inquisition. yet a stable theory - a genuine theory - will proceed to be only that, no remember what's achieved to discredit it or smash it. techniques that are genuine can in no way be destroyed.

If it were true that we value children over adults than we wouldn't have slaughtered 50 Million of them in their mother's wombs.
