Paris Attacks

ISIS says they are attacking Washington DC next. most experts believe this to be false, that they are capitalizing on the fear they've generated from this attack (and that they aren't capable of such a feat anyway). France air force has already been bombing ISIS buildings in Syria. Republican senators have been suggesting that new immigrants from Syria be required to take a religion test. Obama calls that un-American.

the death toll from 11/13 is now up to 500.

500 from Paris alone ?

HughFreakingDillon

i was surprised too, as I thought it was at about 129. I was watching CNN at lunch, and their coverage was all about the paris attacks, and the graphic at the bottom said "500 dead".

HughFreakingDillon

ok, they are referring to dead and injured. it said casualties, now that I recall. sorry for the misinformation.

Did anyone hear the idiot yell out, "ISIS sucks!" during the moment of silence in the Seahawks/Cardinals pregame?

Good one, Champ! Of all the profound moments after that horrible event... yours is the one thta has galvanized everyone. Nobody had ever thought about this before: ISIS sucks. Yah yah... you know what... they do.

Just can't shut up, eh? Just need to be noticed, eh? Just a freakin' moron.

Gawd stupid people piss me off. Guy needs a Chadwick slap.

From the article.
A world in which a bomb goes off at a funeral in Baghdad, and not one person’s status update says ‘Baghdad’ because not one white person died in that fire

Fuck off you stupid author.

Care to provide an alternate explanation?

Its very transparent. Innocents in some parts of the world dont deserve compassion , empathy or sense of moral outrage because they are less than human. They should have had the foresight to be born in the west.

That is ridiculous. Unfortunately in Iraq, Lebanon, and parts of Africa we've grown accustomed to hearing about bombings and attacks, and it just doesn't strike as big a chord. If there were ten bombings in France this year the 10th bombing would not get the press of the first bombing.

Do you honestly think that the USA wouldn't help if they thought there was a clear solution other than just moving an entire country into our borders through immigration? The USA is the only country with a will to fight at this point.

In Iraq, Lebanon and Africa we haven't grown accustomed to it. Let's just be honest. They are not white westerners so the majority of people don't care. When it's Muslim on Muslim people don't care. Assad has gassed babies and women. Thousands of them. Where was the outrage from the western world then?

It's all bullshit. You don't get it??? Why are there not riots in the US when Black people kill other black people even in self defense, but as soon as a white person kills a black person it's racism and time to riot. If white people were killing white people, do you think Muslim people would be outraged. Hell, no. It would be praised and glorified on TV throughout the Middle East...

from what I saw on CNN, the fan actually yelled "muslims suck!", and at the post-game presser, Aaron Rodgers addressed it and said that he was very disappointed to hear a fan yell that out.

Nice response by Rodgers.

I heard today that the hacker group Anonymous is currently working on breaking into IsIs servers to expose them in some form and break encryption.Also that PS4s are being used to communicate in private groups and using gaming to simulate real life situational actions.(Who knew?)

As far as the bombings in "non white areas" that's bullshit that we don't get outraged because no whites are involved.We had some heated convos about The terror attacks in Africa,The kidnapping of the school girls and we all were discussing Beriut as well.I think any time a "Major"Western city is hit ,it will make news.Not rascist.

there is very little coverage, if any, of Beirut. I found out about it through social media. I don't think that "we" are racist. But I think the media is biased in what it covers based on what they believe will have the biggest impact on their ratings.

admittedly, because, as someone else mentioned, it honestly does seem kind of part and parcel for this to happen in a place like that, and it happening in Paris is more shocking, causing more outrage, etc etc.

fan at New York Rangers game yelled 'go rangers' during moment of silence. you would think of all the cities in America that people would show respect for victims for a terrorist attack would be New York. Now supposedly fans in guys section at MSG asked said fan to be tossed out. Just sad to see that some people just can't help themselves.

great response by Rodgers in post game presser. good for him

Yeah, that passport was a fake

http://www.wsj.com/articles/paris-stadium-attacker-entered-europe-via-greece-1447698583

That is why maybe we should figure out who these people were before we jump to conclusions and lay blame......on that note, I'm still waiting for the evidence of the BDS movement's involvement.

It's just common sense, evidence isn't necessary. This according to the poster that doesn't think the Iraq invasion had anything to do with Cheney's Halliburton.

Its very transparent. Innocents in some parts of the world dont deserve compassion , empathy or sense of moral outrage because they are less than human. They should have had the foresight to be born in the west.

That is ridiculous. Unfortunately in Iraq, Lebanon, and parts of Africa we've grown accustomed to hearing about bombings and attacks, and it just doesn't strike as big a chord. If there were ten bombings in France this year the 10th bombing would not get the press of the first bombing.

Let me take a wild guess that your a trump supporter.

News is driven by viewers (add revenue) who are driven by interest/fear. A trump story on SNL or coked up NBA guy at bunny house gets more clicks than dead brown people.

This was interesting

http://www.vox.com/2015/11/16/9744640/paris-beirut-media

Did the media ignore the Beirut bombings? Or did readers?

It would be easy to blame the media for this, to say that if only media outlets covered Beirut rather than ignoring it, the world might pay attention. I have bad news: The media does cover Beirut, just as it has been covering Lebanon's refugee plight for years. That's an uncomfortable truth, because rather than giving us an easy villain, it forces us to ask what our own role might be in the world's disproportionate care and concern for one country over another.

Hell, no. Trumps an idiot... But the older I get the more conservative I become. Also having kids changes things as well.
But I was a little rude with my post before.
My point was that in every culture, religion, race, etc there are good people and bad. The bad people are what forces some persons to label stereotypes. No matter what anyone says, these stereotypes may influence their behaviors towards those persons. There are extremists in every culture. They are the radicals that have influence on people that are easily swayed because of social ignorance. The media is driven by sensationalism for improved ratings. All of this just festers animosity towards your fellow human beings. Enough of the bullshit. Muslims killing Muslims is not sensationalized by the media... It's not acceptable to Westerners who give a damn about humanity.
