I am saddened that this could happen anywhere; and it can. Thank you for the reminder that it often unites the rest of us.

Life has become so cheap my friend, reminds me of Hamlet Shakespeare but in my words, not his, ' for to live or to die meant so little to him, and the dawn of each day was beginning to dim' - these terrorists have nothing to lose, and nothing to live for, humanity is sad sometimes dear Sunshine Smile. hugs and love.

I did not remember that one. I guess we remember things that are closer to home. You know it was in September 2011 that the attack happened here. So they were only 2 months apart. Did the same group carry out both attacks? I will look that up. Thanks for the visit to my page. I know that was hard on your country and the people who lost loved ones. Thanks for the visit to my page . Sara

Anne Lise...8/9..... The USA is withdrawing from Irraq and so in just a few weeks, two major cities were taken back. Guess people forgot 9/11? And planes being blown out of thre skies! I see more to come. It's pathetic and a tragedy. Our refusal to realize some nations are violent. Panagiota

Twisted rogue psychopaths like Breivik, can always pop up out of nowhere at any given time, I remember the massacre and terrible events of that day, I totally get your message Anne Lise, unfortunately the psychos won’t, so yes we must live for today, and never let them change our way of life one iota, if we do they win, cheers David

- It was on the news in most countries ... in all languages ... I thought everyone had heard about this ... young people who were on a summer camp on Utøya 10 years ago - Anders Behring Breivik shot and killed them ... cold-blooded with a smile on his lips, Ilene ... - hugs // Anne-Lise :(
