    So, in essence, you're saying we shouldn't show affinity for the victims of an tragedy because when we are doing that we are placing more value on their lives than the other victims of tragedies? Am I then not then allowed to express sympathy for my neighbour if they die in a car crash because that's placing more value on their life than other car crash victims? Maybe we should stop going to funerals because we're then placing more worth on those lives then the funerals we don't attend? Frankly, it starts to have a bang of white guilt about it.

    We all know it's different when you have a link to a person, when you actually know them.

    Like it or not, you have placed more importance on the lives of people you don't know because they live in a familiar Western nation. Like I said, people have given justifications for this, but none of them have made any sense to me when you think about it for just a second.

    And people lamenting Paris because it's pretty, so pretty. WTF is that about? Valuing Western lives more is bad enough but valuing Western bricks and mortar over developing world lives? Christ on a bike.

    It all just total bullshít. I know lots of people will have popped in the French flag as their profile pic and I'm sorry. But the logic behind it is utterly woolly. So, lest anyone wonder why I am posting in this thread about it, well, I honestly find it a bit dumb.
    The whole thing is bullsh1t anyway. Many people have died. Many others have been injured. Families have to bury their loved ones. We're arguing over whether or not people should do something on Facebook. None of that matters really, does it?

    IMO, it does matter.

    In relation to the Paris attacks:

    "After a night of terror last night in Paris France europe most wake up and take notice that these terrorists are for real and are a major treat to humanity and if we allow all these refugees to come into Europe we are only bringing it on ourselfs because these attacks wil keep on happening til this bastards get there way so the hole of Europe shud protest to shut all boarders and not allow them into Europe send all there's terrorists bastards back to suffer in there country's there terrorists are the scum of the earth"


    A major treat to humanity! And here I was thinking they were the bad lads!

    Also, glad he specified ''Paris, France, Europe" ...I was getting mixed up with the Paris in China, Asia!

    Wouldn't fancy using a hair curdler myself. Don't think I could get my head around it.

    220 Russians were killed only a few weeks ago by the same people that attacked paris but nobody changed their profile to a Russian flag why is that.??? An attack in Beirut during the week no Lebanese flag Tunisian attack no flags. Now when 911 happened they the forces that be said amongst the the rubble that they found an Iraqi passport. This attack brought buildings down with exploding planes and a passport is intact!!!!!! Now a suicidal jihadist that straps a bomb around his waist in paris, he is prepared so much that he has his passport in his pocket. Not only has it survived being blown up but it's fully intact !!!! I smell an invasion coming, but the question is who will benefit most. Russia, America, Saudi they all are in the business of war and profit well from it. In Isis america created a monster gave it money guns and transport and now it's time to tame the beast.



    Underneath is a reply
    "Well said tis fcuken true"

    The responder has one of those French profile pics up, I don't think she read the first bit of your mans rant.

    Is it worse than what happens in the Middle East? Definitely not. Is putting up a French flag profile some how saying that white European lives more important than brown Middle Eastern lives? I don't think so.
    Indeed there are thousands of brown Middle Eastern folks already living peacefully in Paris.

    It is possible that he is a big Wim Wenders fan.

    You couldn't rule it out. Really.

    I've got an American friend who amuses and scares me in equal measure...



    "When Bush was president the "jihadists" were hiding in their mountain caves afraid to come out for fear a missile would chase them back in.
    Now they are getting airfare and free housing in our country".

    Ya know what, I'm quite happy to be a strident tragedy hipster, if that's what it's being called. At least my logic isn't woolly.

    A friend liked this post. From Robert De Niro no less! :rolleyes:
    "My daughter told me that there is no actor these days that doesn't have at least 100,000 fans Facebook page, and I should open one despite my old age.
    Well, yesterday I finally opened an account.. I'm new to Facebook so if you know me, help me feel respected and appreciated as I used to in the past. I want to reach that target."

    Over 11k comments underneath thanking Bob for being such a great actor...

    Angelina Jolie and Liam Neeson said the exact same thing! Come on people, help these actors and their needy daughters.
