Thread: I am worried

One of my first friends at college, and my trainer at the station, she's in Nigeria right now. She isn't Christian, but her family is, which means she'll be targeted. I just can't seem to find a happy story these last few days. Fuck religious violence.
Nigeria’s Boko Haram calls for “war” on Christians - Bikya Masr

Well, actually, she's from that country. She came to college in America. So, she's back in her homeland.

The way I look at it... If there is some shit going down at the time, I'm changing my vacation destination where shit isn't hitting the fan.

Mexico - crossing off the list
Middle East - crossing off the list
Nigeria - crossing off the list
Yemen - crossing off the list

You get my point.

I get your point too. It's not for everyone.

I don't even know if White's friend is a US citizen. (edit: turns out not)

But I gotta say; Bravery, Charity, and Unselfishness are qualities I like to see in Americans.

Specifically knowing someone who is in a dangerous place is worrying. But knowing that this isn't unusual behaviour among my fellow Americans makes me less worried about us as a whole.

Cheers,
