Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen, who is also married to singer John Legend, took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the tragic shooting on Wednesday at the Canadian Parliament, which left one member of the armed forces dead and the city on lockdown. She tweeeted "active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday". Do you think that her tweet was offensive in view of what happened in Ottawa, or simply a commentary on U.S. violence, as she feels?

Nothing wrong with it -- more of a comment on U.S. violence than a slight towards Canada

Critics want her to apologize, but she refuses. She says that "I'm not apologizing. If you take it wrong, that is your fault."and "Sorry you don't understand that is a knock at america and our issues with gun control. No one is minimizing the Ottawa shooting." Do you think she should publicly apologize for her tweet?
Yes,she should

Teigen is no stranger to putting her virtual foot in her mouth. She previously engaged in a Twitter feud with Amanda Bynes and has even bashed her fans for criticizing her weight. "I mean, I'm very much in the heat of the moment and I say things that I'm feeling and then I'm like, 'Why did I do that?'" She continues to say, "I regret things all the time," she added. "I've never regretted not saying something. I've only regretted saying something." Do you think that sites like Twitter and Facebook encourage people to "speak their mind first and think about what they said later"?
Yes, you have to be careful what you say and think first
