So, for those that haven't been following the news, Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers, and in retaliation Israel has been bombing the living shit out of southern Lebanon and even bombed Beirut. These bombings don't seem to be directed towards Hezbollah, but simply to fuck Lebanon. They bombed the Lebanese airport, bridges, power plants, and

It's also surprising to see how many people can do beautiful things for no real reason at all other than to help someone. Do people deserve some sort of karma for what they do? Yes. Is it our place to wish it on them? No.

My name is Wyatt by the way.

[malloreigh]

yeah -- it is. and i always think that those people deserve to arrive home to a letter in the mailbox from an old friend, or get free brownies. i don't believe i have an assigned 'place' to wish or not wish anything. i guess i am a bit disillusioned when it comes to jerks, and i'd LIKE to believe that everyone is good inside and sometimes they're just misled, but after encountering so many people who honestly think it's funny to ruin someone else's day, i really start hoping they get hit in the face by a suddenly-opened door.

i'm malloreigh. :) nice to internetmeet you.

That's understandable, people can do some pretty crappy things sometimes. I don't want to give the impression that I'm saying people are inherently good either, just inherently human. However, I do believe that everyone has good in them, and nurturing that good is the best way to rehabilitate someone.

Nice to meet you too. I have a friend named Leigh, and a friend named Ashleigh. Malloreigh will be a welcome addition to the collection. :-)

[malloreigh]

Fair enough -- I just don't know if I believe in rehabilitation. I know a guy who has hurt pretty much everyone who's ever cared about him, and no matter how much you try to nurture the good in him, he keeps screwing people over. It's kind of sick to watch him do it, actually. Maybe he's ruined my faith?

Ah! So you won't be one of those people who pronounces it like Mal-oh-RAY, because you already know. The difficulties we "eighs" have.

[soysatan]

My mom is very much the same way because of a lot of things my father did. It makes me sad that someone can ruin someone elses faith like that. But at the same time, how could anyone really know anything without the things that test their faith? It's also not like we're talking about anything terribly extreme here either, just about enjoying when bad things happen to bad people. That's very mild compared to the death penalty or something.

I don't think I've ever thought of pronouncing "eigh" like that in a name. Is Mal-oh-ray even really a name? I don't think I've ever met anyone with it pronounced like that.

[malloreigh]

Nope... me neither. People from "the internets" seem to think that's how it's pronounced quite regularly, though. Weigh and neighbour, right? It makes at least a little bit of sense.

[soysatan]

Oh, and do you know why that post was deleted? Just because it got so heated?

[malloreigh]

the kid was probably tired of reading everyone's bickering replies.

[soysatan]

Yea, I guess I probably would be too.
