you're edgy this morning mr x. do you need a hug?

you really need to stop jumping to conclusions. i'm not the least bit worried that something bad might happen to them. i hope they are caught and held accountable for their disgusting actions.


you must have missed the part where i said they were assholes.

I'm edgy? You're the one who's like, "Americans are worse". Why so defensive about this? You didn't do it, or is it that you're worried more about the negative impact on the world's view of the protesters than you are the impact on the victim?

where did i say Americans were worse? i didn't so stop lying. don't twist my words to suit your story.

i'm sure you are aware there were millions of protestors involved in the 18 days of demonstrations, marches and rallies. what happened to Lara Logan was disgusting. the actions of those animals should be condemned and anyone with any common sense would realize that the dispicable act of a few people does not respresent everyone who participated.

do you agree?

I just know you. If it comes from the US or Israel, it's just worse.

No, I don't believe that everyone involved in the rallies are like these guys at, but I don't believe in trying to minimize what happened here either. To be honest, I'd like to know more of the story. Who was around, who was chanting "Jew" or maybe egging this on, if anybody.

lol clearly you don't know me. not at all. not worse. i always thought that patriotism has never been blind allegiance to people or policy. it's loyalty to an ideal - to principle. if you feel that an injustice has been committed, or ideals or principles have been betrayed, you should speak out in defense of them and speak out to preserve what you feel is great and speak out because of what you love about the country. the thing that makes america strong is what also makes it weak. americans are one of the most nationalistic and proud people out there and that's great because there is much to be proud of, but it also leads many to either choose to be ignorant of the actions done in the name of america or not believe anything bad written about the country. no one wants to feel guilt, and so, any viewpoint that may be in some way critical of a certian action of america is often responded to with some peoples backs up. many can't take a step back and see the point objectively.

at least that's how i see it x.

I hope she is tough enough to get past this enough to go back to work, but I also hope she has learned that her life is worth more than any story.

I am sorry this happened to her but she should have known the risks were enormous.

I think she is tough... She has been a journalist for a long time, and has probably been in some really bad and dangerous situations. Journalists take risks.. just like cops, firemen, soldiers, etc.

Lara is a very intelligent woman, and when she does get though this, and I know she will, she has every right to go back into that professional. If she loves her job, so be it. It's her right to decide to keep doing it, and I won't judge her for it.

I am very sad that this happened to her, and wish her all the best. She has my support.

The worst thing that could happen would be for those men to not only violate her body, but to make her hate and fear going back to the profession she loved and had passion for. I hope she doesn't allow them destroy her or make her life less enjoyable.
