"Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatric specialist at al-Tahrir hospital within the Nasser Medical Complex, was treating victims of ongoing Israeli attacks across the strip on Friday when she was shocked to find her own children and husband brought into the hospital.

The children - the eldest aged 12 and the youngest just six months - were severely burned in the bombing."

      I wonder what you would’ve said if it happened to you!

          I’m personally over the /s, if it’s not funny, it’s not funny. But I’ll never sideline my own joke just to give people a heads up, the two most important parts of comedy are timing, and the element of surprise. I’d rather get nuked in the comments.

            Except with text, crucial nuance required to convey sarcasm is missing. The /s is the textual representation of that missing non-verbal context.

        Maybe scroll down just a little bit. It’s supposed to be retarded. Some of us are retarded enough to know better.

      “Think someone could spend half their life in a slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe? Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and not believe? Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God… And I absolutely hate the fucker.”

        It is. I really do agreed with OP though, I’m pretty convinced this is hell. Look around a bit and it’s hard not to think that

            I’ve never even considered this. Checking it out now.

            I’ve always just assumed hell is each persons worst case scenario.

            Edit, agreed, but for slightly different reasons.

              That’s fair.
