It's a tragedy. Arguing about who or what is to blame for it is silly.
My girlfriend is a big fan of candles, and it's something I worry about a lot - she'll leave candles burning in the house when she's not home.

do you hold the same views about guns?

If the sole purpose of a candle was to burn houses down, you might be sniffing at a salient point. As it is....nope. And it won't be salient the next time you make it ....when a kid drowns in a tub, gets his head crushed by a garage door, or sticks a fork into a socket.
New York (CNN) -- A fire that swept through a Bronx apartment killing three young brothers was caused by a candle and occurred one day after the power company cut off electricity for unpaid bills, officials said Saturday.

incredibly tragic. the parents will never forgive themselves, but what if there was absolutely nothing they could have done to pay the bills? should the parents be liable for the children lighting the candle and causing the fire? they must not have properly showed their children how to use candles.
Not the parents fault, the power company should have been willing to work out a payment plan for the parents.

so deaths matter more when a person shoots someone? you're sick in the head.
Power companies should be banned from cutting off power to anyone's property.
Banned by the federal govt from doing so.
It's the federal govt's responsibilty to ensure that every person in the nation has electricity, blankets, food and shelter.

No. You seem to have missed the point.
I did not miss yours, though.

what is your point, make yourself clear, don't hide behind the bushes. and what was my point?
The parents just thought that paying the bills was someone else's obligation. What should happen is that before a utility turns off the power, they should notify the city who will start eviction proceedings before the power is cut off.

My point was clear. So was yours.

You can't evict them. There are young children you would be throwing out onto the streets. Its not the answer, either.

thats what i thought....you can't explain your point because i was right in my interpretation of your point. you think deaths matter differently if a gun is used. sick, you're sick.

Nope. That is you avoiding the issue. My point was clear.
Very sad. The deceased children here were 2, 4 and 5 years of age. This tragedy is especially disturbing given that relatively young children were involved, and the fact that they would still be here today had the power not been cut off. My prayers go out to the family members.
Yurt, you don't come off well by tapdancing on the graves of children to push a personal vendetta.
