Paris attacks again

Trollheart · 11-23-2015, 10:25 AM

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.

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 thought it was odd too, but I'd like to hear what they have to say about it.

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

You are talking about people on Facebook. For them it's something that happened outside of thier lives. They shown concern at the time it happened. It's not personally effecting them so I think it's understandable that they don't sustain those emotions they had right after it happened. Though I believe if they cared about it once, they always will, even thought they don't outwardly express it.

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.
