double standards
by hussain mirza on Apr 20, 2007 11:50 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

almost 200 people die in iraq every single day but no one feels sorry for them and here in US only 33 people died and they are making a fuss about it.the people should be ashamed of themselves for this kind of double standards

What happened in Virginia Tech is wrong and what is happening in Iraq is also wrong. But if a personn is not able to distinguish between a University and war zone , he needs medical treatment. Please consult a doctor.
Gross neglect of Virginia Tech with respect to the mental health of it's students has resulted in the tragedy. All universities in the West should wake up and create system to monitor students and prevent such incidents.

Here is a column paying tribute to this young girl who lost her life. Instead of paying your tributes, you people want to discuss politics in this section. There are plenty other places where this can be discussed. Please be more empathetic here.

what makes you think that no one feels for the dead and alive in Iraq.just because they r discussing this massacre does not mean "double standard"

My Friend killing and murder of any innocent man is bad..BTW what do you do ? I Am sure you will mourn for eiter Shite or Sunni but not both.If you are really concerned -you guys should not have had created that nonsense havoc in India about killing of sadaam husaain like you did in UP or other parts of India and killed innocent guys and closed shops..Instead you should protest peacefully about innocent Shias getting killed too ..Saddam no doubt was a good leader(atlest he loved the country where he belonged to) but he killed so many Kurds and Shites.. He had double standards and Indian muslim too is largely Sunni biased ...

RIP the Virgina tech students God bless you all and help you families to overcome this sorrow.

Iraqis--Shun violence.. Rise above your Shite-sunni ..Dnt create world a killing playground...Help in contructing your peaceful and prosperous IRAQ..

quality of comments and the thought process dispalyed by some of the people participating in this message board are woefully appalling .... don't think they understand at all what is right and what is not
