I largely took it from the one altercation, for although he would be often controversial in the current events/philosophy section, I never saw him do anything that warranted a ban. He was always civil to me despite disagreements, but I understand that your just doing your job, cheers. |

Mods, can you move all the ban posts to a new thread or start a new thread to discuss them?
This thread is about the attacks in Paris and most of the thread is discussing bans ffs. |

If you would like to post about JWB's ban, please post about it in the Missing Posters Bulletin Board or your post will be deleted from this thread. |
Thanks Frownland.

I haven't been watching the news how many attackers were there again ..????
and were some of them French Born or Europe born ....???? |
It was a melange.
|
French and Belgian mostly. The news now is that the mastermind, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is dead, was killed in the firefight. Won't stop further attacks, in fact will probably spur on the radicals to organise more, but at least he won't be killing any more innocent people, so a small victory. If he had escaped, you can bet he would have been back again or struck somewhere else. The world is better off without him.

Belgium is basically shut down since Saturday. No metro, nowhere open, sporting venues and gigs cancelled, schools closed (continues today), ban on large gatherings of people. It's ****ing scary. I mean, yeah, they can do this and you wouldn't blame them, but unless the cells are all apprehended or killed, aren't these ****ers just going to wait till everything returns to normal and then strike when least expected? After all, you can't keep a ****ing country closed forever...
I think they send the wrong message doing this; it's clear they're scared (and who would not be?) but the French I think had it right: continue and refuse to allow IS to stop you living your life. Of course, that's easy for me to say, I guess. |
Not sure if this has been posted yet:
|
Does it seem kind of screwed up to anyone else for them to like... tease that? I mean I know, it's just Vice, but wow.
|
Thanks Planks, looking forward to the full thing.
There was a good documentary on Channel 4 last night about British women supporting ISIS. On 4od if anyone missed it. |
Seems like everyone on Facebook has forgotten about this whole thing. Just an observation.

I'm surprised Josh Homme is there. Wasn't he not even on tour with them during the attacks?

I'm sure the people who live in the immediately area in Paris won't forget. For the friends and family of the victims such a tragedy of losing a loved one will be impossible to forget. |
I'd love to forget 9/11. Can't. Just have to learn to live with the memories and use the experience to somehow build a better me.
We also have instant access to just about everything we can fathom on the internet so our tendency to move on to another stimulus is much quicker. I remember my television being on for about four days straight on CNN after 9/11 because internet was still young and people still got their news from the television. I dunno. People are weird. |
In a few years it'll just be another thing people annoyingly bring up all the time like Hitler or 9/11. This looks weird directly under a post where 9/11 is mentioned but that is a kind of comparable example. I just mean how people bring it up out of nowhere.

I can't say, of course, as I have nothing to do with Social Media, but seems to me that a more positive reaction would have been to have maybe started up an online "book of condolences", or contributed to a fund for the families of those who lost loved ones. It is weird though: last night, our news led with a local story, three or four more, the Russian jet being downed and then a vague reference to the attacks. How quickly it gets shunted down the news schedule. On a related point, they hilariously showed our "armed forces" going through a three-day exercise war game in readiness for an attack. IS must be pissing themselves laughing! :rolleyes: http://cdn.meme.am/instances/23426732.jpg |

WTF? |
I had a conversation along those lines with family a couple days ago. They were afraid that ISIS plants among the refugees would wait and launch a massive coordinated attack in the US. I had to bring up the whole out of all the middle eastern refugees we have allowed in only 3 have had anything to do with terrorism, and all three of those were busted before they could do anything. People are too nervous about the wrong things.

To me, one of the worst and most damaging ideals lately is how people seem to always stop doing good things because one bad thing happened. For example, the whole vaccination thing. A few kids a year have serious negative reactions and all of a sudden we should ban vaccination all together as if the hundreds of thousands of other kids who turned out fine and now won't die of smallpox and polio don't matter any more. One kid brings a gun to school in his backpack? Welp, no more backpacks. One guy made a bomb in his shoe? Welp, everybody take their shoes off during TSA security. Don't even get me started on how much we limit the freedom of children now because a few got kidnapped or neglected. I used to roam the streets of NYC when I was barely a teenager. My parents would be thrown in jail now if that happened. |

I was figured that you were the professor in that video I saw.

I was pretty sure something was going to happen during the Euros but it seems it happened when people least expected it (few days after it's finished when people are thinking well done, it went off without any incidents).
You'd be OK in Spain, Italy and Portugal I reckon. France, Britain, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden - understandable. |
