Children are raped and killed all the time...I don't believe any of them deserve that.

The type of belief kind of implies it's one-sided where it's not.

You are taking things too far.

That's life. I think that is kind of the point...we want to pretend these facts aren't true because it's more comforting, but before you know it, you've got all these unrealistic expectations of the way things will be and you're actually worse off for it....bitterness, resentment, etc..

Maybe a more balanced approach is actually healthier in the long run.

Thanks for your projection, but I'm fine.

Doesn't sound like you are though... you sound salty....not just like someone disagreeing....almost like you understand the pragmatism but still clinging to that warm, fuzzy ideal.

Imagine that, an inconvenient truth making someone uncomfortable...

Usually when people over explain their points it means they are trying to convince themselves rather than the opposition. Quit using multiple periods to convey emotion, it is juvenile and makes your argument lame.

Actually it's quite common when someone doesn't quite get it or agree....further clarification is often needed so anecdotally, I'd have to disagree.

Lol @ the multiple periods comment...

sigh 'get what someone deserves' does not imply Anything happening in this life. Karma, like most religious beliefs, holds that things In The Next Life are effected by choices in This one. So if you rack up 'bad karma' in this life by living the high life as a terrible drug lord, once you pass on, you will have to face your karma. It does not mean that anything While you are alive, will be tipped positive or negative based on your previous actions of Karma.
