It is easy to see the root cause, and it is the root cause of many evils.

Many people act wrongly because they feel they have an entirlement to their actions.

But, God never gave you free will to choose wrongly, or to do evil.

He gave you free will to choose to do that which is good, right, and true. Reply

I think they put up an old video in response to what happened. But yes, everything is micromanage by Hashem. Reply

Freedom Of Speech For Terrorists Too We are willing to fight for our freedoms, so we must allow those who publicly announce the names of those they wish dead to enjoy such freedoms. We see Osama Bin Laden in the mountains of Pakistan, and we have no evidence that he ever actually killed another person, same as Sarah Palin in the mountains of Alaska, posing with her high powered weapons. They simply announce the names of their enemies, and if some lunatic acts upon it, it is only the one who performed the dirty work that has violated the law. Right? Reply
