abuse of any kind, especially child abuse, horrific racism, horrific sexism, people being discriminated because of their race,sex,sexual orientation,religion etc. I guess that last few make me a little angry also, but its still sad.

The first four responses encompass all my answers. But also, when I see young people pass up a free (or really cheap)education in favor of just hanging out.

The Christian Right. I'm not suppose to question their motives but they have no clue what it's like to be Christ-like.

The hatred in this world for the next man makes me sad, and raising my son to be a man and seeing him apply what teach him is what make me happy.

I am saddened by people who think that every thought their hearts and minds conjure up represent who they truly are and that they should act upon them.

i get sad when i read about or see children going hungry, being abused, dying early of preventable disease and feeling like there is little to nothing i can do about it. i get sad when i think about factory farming, greed, hate and destruction of the environment.
