They probably deserved it just like America, right?

[Doombrain]

Grow up.

[YourGrandpa]

Been there done that.

I've never seen the reddit live thing before, great idea for things like this, sadly.

At least 100 killed in hostage taking at Paris concert hall
French President François Hollande shuts borders
State of emergency declared, military deployed around Paris

French police are reporting that 100 people are dead, including two attackers, after security forces stormed a Paris concert hall where dozens were being held hostage as part of multiple deadly attacks around the French capital on Friday.

Officials expected the death toll to rise as attackers had tossed explosives at the hostages inside the Bataclan, a concert venue in the 11th arrondissement in central Paris

Get used to it.

edit: Actually, don't. That's what causes it to keep happening...

[YourGrandpa]

Being on the same continent doesn't help.

[SoM]

it's only the beginning

Crazy shit...
Will be interesting to see how this plays out...

[scared?]

If the west would just get out of the middle East this would stop...

[Whiskey 7]

.... and the east out of the west

[obsidian]

Not really. ISIS is not Al Qaeda. They don't have the same agenda.

Also, just getting out of the Middle East isn't going to stop ISIS from attacking normal everyday citizens living in the very same country. I'm not saying that getting out of the Middle East wouldn't be beneficial to the west, just that it won't stop religious extremists from being batshit crazy and murdering a bunch of innocent people.

If I take that to mean what I think you mean, then you're starting to come off as sounding as a racist old bigot.

I thought that was already fairly well established?

at least we get to see cool vids on the internets of air strikes and guys blowing up all over

The most devastating thing I learned today is that Whiskey 7 is racist.

[YourGrandpa]

It no longer matters who is killing who where. Religious extremists now have a very effective media outlet. They have figured out killing people on social media will go global.

Why is one statement acceptable but vice versa is racist?

The fact that I didn't address scared? doesn't mean I think his post was acceptable.

There would be no Isis if we didn't invade Iraq...The twin towers would still exist if we didn't put an air base in Saudi and attack Iraq...

[MKJ]

So 7 simultaneous attacks across the city. Someone has been planning.

The first could imply a matter of political policy, as in, pulling U.S. troops out of the Middle East along with all Western business/political/etc. interests. (I don't know if this is what scared? means, probably not, he's a moron)

The second implies racial segregation.
