Nuclear Plant Evacuated..i thinki two of them already..
is not allow for civilians to be on streets..
there is a threat about a hosdpital too,the one was close to attacks and when injured people went..
and a source said they found 3 more suicide vests at the airport
man,the one did it at airport,they say,that went toi american airlines line at check in and boom...
I hate what this world has become.0 -
not sure we could accomplish much moreJimmyV said:
Yeah...OK.polaris_x said:
i'll leave that for you to doJimmyV said:
No, it's just a different point of view from the one you hold. You can label it irrational and lazy or anything else that makes it easier to swallow. Doesn't make it true.polaris_x said:
dude ... you took a post that was trying to wake us up to hypocrisy in our viewpoints and took the lazy route by saying if she didn't post anything before that it meant nothing ...JimmyV said:
Actually we had a very rational discussion on it.polaris_x said:
you can't have a rational discussion on this ... people don't work in the rational world anymore ...catefrances said:
did you? have i offended your selectiveness??? im attacking inconsistency, not peoples compassion. im questioning the whitewash and eurocentrism of our collective history.JimmyV said:
Love these posts attacking others' compassion. Did you start threads here on Ankara, Beirut, and Syria? Honest question. If you did, good for you. If not, this rings hollow.catefrances said:oh no a European city has been the victim of a terrorist attack.... woe is us.. what will we do... what can be done... who gave a shit about Ankara... who gave a shit about Beirut.. who gives a shit about Syria... how has our compassion become so selective... we say all lives are equal but we don't really mean it...
this event is now called an islamist terrorist attack ... what do you call it when US-led coalition forces repeatedly bomb a hospital that MSF reported? ... it's called collateral damage ... for however long we continue to not recognize the root of this - the more suffering there will be ...
it's akin to responding to a post about animal abuse and asking if someone owns leather ...
it's not even close to being rational
If you have a further problem PM me and we'll work it out outside the thread. If not, we can both move on.0 -
Perhaps it will turn out to be Christians that did this. If they are exactly the same. What do you think? 50/50 odds?callen said:
Okay okay okay one thing is very clear, god did not bless the victims. He allowed them to be torn to bits, maimed and mentally fucked.muskydan said:
And yet some of you geniuses mention his name again as these horrid terrorist events are unfolding, un-fucken-real. God bless the victims and families of those lost by another ISLAMIC TERRORIST attack.g under p said:
I'm sure he will have something Provacative to say. It's no wonder The Donald doesn't have to spend much money on political ads....we the people keep him in the news. There's at least 5 threads on this board with his name in it.callen said:This will give Trump some material.
I've been through that metro system in Brussels on my way to a festival in Werchter. I hope the Belgium people will recover from this attack.
Peace
And yes Trump comes up because the terrorists harbor same hate that draws humans to trump. Trump will now use this to keep the cycle going.
Finally it's religious terrorism not Muslim terrorism. Yeah same as the Christians wanting to bomb shit out of Muslims. Same exact mentality. Look in the mirror. You are them.
Maybe it was a Buddhist. Are they the same too?Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -

I don't know Jason. Why do you think these particular individuals want to kill? Their people are being bombed maybe? If I were Muslim I'd be pretty pissed off as well.Jason P said:

Some of you guys come across as borderline apologists0

Exactly. If the West is so evil, these apologists should be thanking Trump for not wanting to allow refugees into the US and have them exposed to the West's evil ways.my2hands said:Some of you guys come across as borderline apologists

I think we all look like each other.dignin said:
Chicken or the egg. I do believe that the media is showing what we want to see mostly. Fact is if they didn't look like us we wouldn't care as much and tune in as much. Media is a business.rgambs said:
Disagree.JimmyV said:
Anyone of us can bring attention to any issue we want on this board. If something isn't getting the attention it deserves, start a thread and bump it. It isn't about the media. It's about not speaking up about something and then attacking others for speaking up about something else. Most of us on Facebook/Twitter will all see tons of posts like these over the next few days. There will be plenty of support for them. To me they will ring hollow, just like after Paris.rgambs said:
If she had, they would be 6 pages deep with MAYBE a dozen replies each.JimmyV said:
Love these posts attacking others' compassion. Did you start threads here on Ankara, Beirut, and Syria? Honest question. If you did, good for you. If not, this rings hollow.catefrances said:oh no a European city has been the victim of a terrorist attack.... woe is us.. what will we do... what can be done... who gave a shit about Ankara... who gave a shit about Beirut.. who gives a shit about Syria... how has our compassion become so selective... we say all lives are equal but we don't really mean it...
Her sentiment is not wrong, and neither is it wrong from all the social media posts you are referencing...the media practices anglo-centrism with vigor, pointing that out is not a sin.
There will twice as many Facebook posts of people who couldn't find Belgium on a labelled map sharing their hearts and thoughts and just feeling so terrible. Why the preference for one country they can't find over another?
The media tells them about one and not the other, and in many cases, the color of the people inhabiting the region is the primary reason for deciding to cover a story or not.
And holy fuck! I'm trying to figure out how people expressing sorrow, sympathy and compassion shouldn't be doing so.

No no no. Looking at root cause is not being an apologist. These terrorists are vile. No doubt. Our Christian hate feeds this though.my2hands said:Some of you guys come across as borderline apologists

no one is saying:
* you shouldn't feel for the victims and people of the events of today
* that it is ok to bomb innocent people
all we or maybe I should just put I am saying is:
* if it's not ok to bomb innocent people at a train station in brussels - it's not ok to bomb innocent people in a hospital in afghanistan
* that if you're initial response to this is to condemn muslims - then you should understand what it's been like being a muslim in many countries suffering the consequences of US foreign policy
* that if you truly wanted these events to stop - you must look at what the cause is0 -
Does our Christian hate feed the stoning of women for not wanting to marry in an arranged marriage? How about the sexual abuse of little kids? Does the Christian hate tell people to make sure women are covered head to toe? The terrorist are the ones we hear about, but what about the Muslims who think it is fine to treat women the way they do, to rape children, they are just as much part of the problem as the terrorist who kill innocents.callen said:
