People also don’t realize how fast the smoke can get thick and acrid. I was working late one night and there was a fire on a floor far below mine. The alarm went off and I had to walk down the stairs (I could hear the firefighters in the stairwell). The smoke in the stairwell was fairly bad, and I found when I got home that the insides of my nostrils were black with soot. This was from only a small, quickly contained fire.

I suspected that’s what burned.

No loss there.

The stuff looked satanic as all get out.

Wow...you are filled with hatred, it touches everything you come into contact with.

It’s really not the way to go...when you leave this Earth, filled with such hate and contempt towards people you dislike, you may not end up in a good way.

So return hatred with hatred, as Jesus preached...

Jesus never preached that. Maybe you're confusing the Old Testament "an eye for an eye" with the New Testament.

I don’t think going out to dance is a crime deserving of being burned alive.Do you know where your grandchildren are tonight? They might be partying in a tinderbox.

From the pictures, it practically looks like nailing firewood to the walls was part of their decorating scheme. And you say this placed burned?? I’m shocked!

I don’t care about the “art” that was in the building, or whether or not it fits someone else’s definition of art. These kids did not deserve to die such a horrible death. How many of us made choices at that age thinking it was “cool” at the time, but now look back and say “what the hell was I thinking?” I suspect many of these kids would have someday fallen into that same category, but now will never get that chance. Prayers for the families of the victims.

I believe the poster was engaging in irony.

I was replying sardonically, using irony to point out that I thought his reflexive hatred was wrong.

Maybe I should have appended it with a /s.

"...This is about parents who have now horribly lost their children. These kids were redeemable...."

What you sat is true. However, I cannot help but to surmise that if those parents had raised their children right, they would not have ended up as slacking leftist wastrels who did drugs and went to raves, and thus this tragedy could totally been avoided.

I am a parent to young children. I want them to turn out right. When I see stuff like this I use it as a cautionary tale, filed under “what I don’t want my kids to end up like”.

The saddest thing about this tragedy was that it was completely avoidable. The parents could have prevented it by raising their kids right.

The parents failed.

Pray that God doesn’t visit you with that you so harshly criticize in others.
