    Alright, don't post here again. Others want to discuss it, you don't that's fine. Cheers

    And once again we will explain it.
    It is all about how close we are to the event. Take all the people you know, how many have gone to Turkey? How many of them have gone to Iraq?
    Answer those two questions.
    Or to put it another way, when you stub your toe at that moment all the pain and suffering in the world means nothing to you.

    I wish they'd stop killing us with their peaceful religion. Aah stop, too peaceful, you're hurting me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 434 ✭✭Vital Transformation


    Erdogan has ordered a media blackout on this for the moment, banning any coverage on the scene or suspects except official statements.

    It's our fault, we've been oppressing them.

    Awful news :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭Noveight


    Poor folks never came home from a NYE party. Heartbreaking news for their loved ones on what should be a time of celebration.

    The recent trend is worrying.

    Shooting people at marathons (Boston in 2013) , rock concerts (Paris attacks) threatening writers they disagree with (Houllebecq is still in hiding).

    Seen videos floating around of inside the club and people dying, not for the faint of heart.

    These terror attacks need to be stamped out, Governments need to stop turning a blind eye as to what's happening to Europe. RIP to the victims.

    I find it bizarre that someone invokes one god to alleviate the pain suffered by those attacked in the name of another god.

    Religion. The root of all evil.

    God is whoever and whatever you want him/her to be. All i know is people who kill in his/her name are misguided. What i meant by my original quote is this a horrible thing to have happened and i feel nothing but worry about the world we live in and the radicals that live in it.
