As I said many times the US is an Island; girls like that who want to reform the world live in la la land. In her writing it shows a clear her come off; "It is "gods" will in her letters. Ridiculous. Also kids like that have no clue whatsoever about the world around us and just jump into something without any real "world" knowledge except what the church preaches. Sure she had a noble mind, but should have been educated by the outside world not the cozy US. A lone person like her never can reform the world; forget it and forget "god"
The news here only is sensation and hype they love that; one persons death, they milk that all the way; deplorable. Sorry the arrogance that we are the "savior" of the world prevails and gets teached to young kids is sick. While our own objective is to "rule" the world and make money of it if we can. I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you here. If only every religious person were as compassionate and loving as she was. She was not in Syria to spread the word, but to help the people of Syria who are suffering terribly. She wasn't there to hand out Bibles, but to give a hand to a terrorized population suffering through this senseless civil war.
It is acceptable to be an atheist and still respect a religious person who wants to help the weakest among us. My main problem with modern religion is the hatred and vitriol they spread while completely ignoring the words of their supposed savior who instructed them to care for the poor, feed the hungry, and love everyone. My main problem with modern religion is their hatred of people who don't look like them, talk like them, act like them, or have the audacity to believe in another God that wasn't invented a couple thousand years ago.
I may not be religious, but I definitely respect Kayla. She gave her life up to go help the people whose lives were upended in Syria. If only every Christian actually were as compassionate as she was. I might actually have more respect for the religion if they were.

Jared; I totally disagree with you; you should know better; however also Oregon is also far from this cruel world and you live there also very protected.
I've got only one word for all these kids who are raised such way; sure it is "mind" wise an commendable effort, but awful NAIVE. That is inherent with this country; being naive of the outside world. In some of your threads it shows that you are also sometimes NAIVE about the outside world. Most of the time you have exellent comments about what is happening here, but if it is something outside the US you follow the news produced here, so you are also living on an island as well.

I have to agree with you 100% Dutch. Most people don't want to hear the truth unfortunately. I'm sure she was a wonderful, loving, caring person and she certainly did not deserve to die but... What can one expect? A young wide eyed unsophisticated woman travels to all the most dangerous places in the world trying to save humanity! Anyone who would even consider doing and going where she did is, in reality, pretty delusional about life and their roll in it.
I'm sorry, I know this will upset a lot of people but "facts is facts" as they say. And to quote a famous philosopher "you reap what you sow" PGR, I'm glad you understand; the population here is kept NAIVE about the real outside world; likely they never learn about the real world in school; neither about on how wars start or who is the real culprit in any area of the world; she got killed by "friendly fire" which saved her head. Sorry most people here are awful naive about wars; they only hype it up and adore it; the more bombs and fire works and Rambo's the better; the far from my bed show for sure.
I like to add as well; if kids want to do "welfare" why in Syria, when plenty of that is needed here; like in West Virginia or other "poor" area's; plenty of places in the US are comparable to "poor" places in the middle east, so start at "home" before wandering of for adventures for the sake of adventure.
