Bastille Day Bombings
 
Once again a tragic event has occured by twisted people in the name of some version of a religion that probably is uncomprehensible to most sane human beings.

What confuses me though is already on facecrap people are covering there pictures with French flags, which is highly commendable, if you wish to show your support in that way. But what I find most interesting is that on the 3rd July over 250 people were killed in Baghdad and I did not see one Iraqi flag or post concerning that incident.

Is that because we associate that area for these deeds and therefore feel differently reference the loss of life??

She does have a point, why do we wait, why don't we start imprisoning these people (like they do in the UK)? After all, we are, whether we like it or not, in a war.

Canada has its own share of Islamists / fundies. And anyone criticising minority religious groups and their bigotry gets charged with hate crime and attacked by regressive liberals.

Move to the Marquesas or Argentina to really get away from old world issues , but Alaska is also pretty safe:lol:

Nintendo was massively introuble. The company doesn't release its software to 3rd parties (Ie Have you seen Mario on Xbox or PS). The WiiU massively failed.

Don't play any of the console games but nephew has them all. I just don't like the ergonomics of console controls. Only play PC games and haven't done that in many months.

I am not a misandrist by any stretch but when comments come up women being unfit to work too (from a steroid pumped, chlamidiya riddled, walking erection) I accept that this place is not for me as I just can't be arsed to spend my day reading that shit.

N.

I have a lot of Iraqi friends as I have been working there since the last war, but now more Kurdish people as I spend most of my trips in Erbil and Kirkuk.
I agree with your point about closer to home means a bit more, but find it hard to understand hardly anyone mentioned it. A bit like the plight of the rohinga`s in Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi`s virtual silence on the matter!

Aung San Suu Kyi will be alienated from her people if she speaks up for the Rohingas
you dont sit in a home for decades and then get some form of government and then blow it all away on such a puny issue as basic human rights and decency...pfft...cmon man!

Quite a ridiculous story about some psychopath, I must say. I, for example, have met many women of different shades of colors, and wearing different fashions of shorts, but never did I wish to stab them for their dress. Though admittedly, the dark side of me in those encounters, have always wished if I could reach out to them and explore all the promised possible venues of pleasures, so that to have that burning earthly desire satisfied. I advice you, never wish to meet me in short.:lol:

Ah I see what you mean, and the key here is Islamic Extremist - these kind of folks can be just as bad as those who actually carry out the attacks. In fact if they go as far as to endorse it by saying the religion teaches it, then I would say they are just as wack.
