    As someone who has avoided all coverage of this event - on purpose - it's sad to see how easily everyone's emotions are twisted up by this. It's 9/11 all over again. This world is fucked and that's why I am now a cat.

    It may be a sad thing to live in ignorance. But man sometimes it's bliss. Tuning out all the politics by simply getting rid of the tv has helped me tremendously.

    If you find yourself getting over run with emotion - it's by design. Yes these terrible things happened but they are exploiting it to fuel their purpose and gain from it. I see people justifying destroying full countries and cities over this.

    Should China begin bombing Chicago because there's gang violence and guns? That's about as logical as our military getting involved here. It's France's problem to deal with, not the God fearing men of the USA military.

    Back to a cat now.

    We know the ringleader was hiding out in Belgium with a very sympathetic network giving him shelter

    That we're failing to properly integrate foreign cultures into our societies? They may be citizens but they clearly feel no love or loyalty for the countries they inhabit or their fellow citizens. My friend came to Ireland as a Bosnian Muslim refugee when she was 8. Her family integrated into Irish life and she now feels as Irish as she does Bosnian or Muslim. Clearly this is not always the case.

    Having said that, it's a lot trickier when the country in which you have gained citizenship is attacking and killing people in your native or ancestral country, a problem we never have here

    This is astounding. A senior French politician has revealed that the tax laws of France entitle a citizen to make a charitable, tax-deductible donation to the Israeli army. As the French politician Nathalie Goulet observes: “This represents a tax benefit by the French taxpayer for the benefit of a foreign army.”
    Or put more bluntly still, French citizens are being encouraged through the tax system to subsidise an illegal, belligerent occupation of the Palestinians by the Israeli army. It underscores the sheer hypocrisy of the French government as it claims to be trying to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through “peace-making” at the United Nations.

    Is there a reason why this is in the "Paris Attacks" thread?
