Before We Shed A Tear At The Plight Of These 'children', Wouldn't It Be Wiser To Show Concern Over What They May Become?

// I agree with snooker player, lets kill them all and let god sort it out.//

kill all the snooker players - christ that is a bit drastic
why dont we .... stun them and then feed them to all those starving refugee children ( rationed - one to a family ?)

[RandyMarsh]

kill snooker players?, people will balk at that potty idea.

Another thread where AOG hasn't contributed. Should there be some 'rule' about this?

AOG loves to light the blue touchpaper, stir with the big stick and stand well back to watch the proceedings

Zacs-Master - are you showing concern for what may become of him? ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

No.

This question was only posted about an hour and a half ago. Bit soon to start criticising.

This is the usual Parthian Shot (bait) usually late afternoon , so we can all have a right good scrap the OP can peruse over a cuppa in the morning.

I would say 'hole in one!" - jesus that is golf- sozza

but if as Kromo thinks there is too much explicit and disgusting sex on AB today - you could comment - 'one in the ...'

sozza must go and drink tea

These children are not born bad , are they - they are turned into what they are by those who have influence over them .

If you tell your child from an early age that shoplifting is good and not wrong or expose them to other wrong doing , then of course they will turn out to be shoplifters, and the rest .

Yes , i'm sorry for their plight and concerned as to what they may become.

[ummmm]

Douglas - what is the 3rd way?

[sp1814]

I think we can do both.

Say if we shed a tear first, straight afterwards - say give it fifteen minutes, we could consider what they could become.

Doctors, lawyers, cab drivers, teaching assistants, models, IT consultants etc.

They could become any of those. They could also become terrorists, benefits cheats, MPs or Big Brother contestants.

Hope for the former, prepare for the latter?

Only those without an ounce of pity or compassion would fail to show regret for their plight.

However, it is a sad fact of life that some of these vulnerable 'children' will face exploitation and in the worse case scenario, indoctrinated by the warped ideology of IS.

Amidst this dark background, there has to be hope that as many of these children are plucked to safety before they disappear and go on to lead a lifestyle free from harm.

Yes, we should be concerned but in more ways than one.

Oddly, they are manifold, ummmm. Here's a starter. How the mighty are fallen. :)

Our sympathy should lie with the kids AOG. They are the ones being exploited after all.

"Some run away because they fear not being granted asylum, while others fall victim to abduction, trafficking, sexual and economic exploitation, the foundation says"

Ok,

Just let Allah & his followers sort them out, they are good with Kids, aren't they?

[Mamyalynne]

We may never know what the OP's thoughts are then, by the looks of it.

No there shouldn't ABers should be free to ask a question without the need to answer it.

But for your information the reason I went missing yesterday was because my WI-FI went down, and it was not until this morning that the engineers were able to fix the problem.

Give it a rest Mam you are getting as bad as the rest.

I have given the reason for my absence, and beside I would have thought that my question was enough to show my thoughts on this.

But thanks to all those who missed me all the same.
