Paris attacks - Page 2

Bus crash, tornado, or heart attack. People die. It happens.

Tragedy is that some people are so wacko extremist as to be so easily brainwashed. To kill for religion - for the greater glory of their god.

How brainwashed? If they had any intelligence, then their god could do his own killing. Why is their god so inferior and pathetic as to need them to commit suicide? Extremists are the easiest to brainwash. We all suffer because of it.

Never forget the source of this tragedy.

I think many of us feel a great deal of empathy for France right now.

What I don't feel is Geraldo type pain (faux news on in the break room last nigbt) nor do I want to act like it's in my backyard just as I wouldn't feign such if it happened in, say, Pennsylvania or something. Yes, I get it, but please don't tell me all of a sudden it is your next door neighbor.

My empathy is for them.

What I said.

Much love and warm thoughts to the victims.

Eta: I took two years of french in hs and two quarters in college. We're not all philistines over here.

I was wondering silently how someone professed to know the victims agreed with the immigration plans of their country.

Net chatter.

I was silently wondering how immigration has anything to do with extremism. Since immigration creates stronger and more prosperous nations. And extremism does not.

aww...whut?

I think the world should just let Putin take care of Isis. He's bloodthirsty enough, and everyone will be able to have a clear conscience because it's just the bad guys killing the even badder guys.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-14-2015, 11:52 PM

Uh, Putin is on their side.

When dice have so many sides, it is called a sphere. Which side of that sphere on you on?

Aliantha · 11-15-2015, 12:05 AM

I guess that depends which media you listen to.

I don't think you can help how you feel.
I roll my eyes at people who sob when bands break up, who leave shabby garage forecourt flowers on lamp-posts when schoolfriends die (but don't take them away when they rot), who leave toys and cards about angels when little children are killed - which would be better donated to families who are in poverty.

I think they are maudlin and possibly have a low IQ.

But I think that feeling shock and outrage at mass murder in a place you have personally been, and sadness that humanity is not as humane as we like to picture it, is reasonable.

This is not directed at you, Infi, or Sexobon, or anyone else.
And I'm not weeping and wailing all over social media.
The French will roll with this. Their problems with religion/ tolerance/ racism have existed for years. Echoes of a colonial past (ditto UK)

Just hope when the next attack comes it isn't us again.
100% selfish. 100% how I feel.

You're right. I wasn't thinking when I wrote that.

I think it's my bad response to all the bad things that happen. I am not dealing well with life.

Sorry.

Brief NSFW language. Also, yes I know I'm a sociopath please don't be mad at me it's just how I feel.

But who is "me" ?

In this case, "me" has the initials A J
And, aside from getting to say the word "fucking" several times in public,
A J has used his time to produce a routine worth just what he says: “fucking nothing”.

Forget Axxxxxx Jxxxxxx
