Paris multiple attacks

False analogy- we're confronting the culture, not the individuals. You can't talk your way out of a knife assailant but we can and have changed society so knife assailants are far less common.

This is not airy fairy theory. It can and has worked, and will work.

Not if the knife assailant has political/diplomatic/religious protection.

We have no plan for radical islam, thats the way it is.

That's just a total non sequitur to what I said.

And you keep saying 'plan' as if this is just one simple thing. Again, you just want this to be like WWII, which it is not remotely like.

It doesn't matter if you agree though does it though.

Thats the world we live in.

They have those protections, reforms and changing their ideology will never happen.

It will be viewed as bigotry or racism.

It's just the world you see. You're blinkered.

I see dead people.

Off topic: I remember TI had this thing on his profile that said ignore list is for pussies. LOL I'm on ignore list. Good to know who I was talking to

If talks won't work, we have to deploy brute force tactics. Like what we did in the Battle of Waterloo against the French, and in WW2 against the Axis powers.

The west and middle eastern countries are fighting and bombing ISIS ("brute force"😉, however it is not as simple as throwing more soldiers at the problem.

ISIS does have state-like structures and they are fought and opposed in the manners of traditional warfare. But the larger problem of terrorism can not be addressed in the same way. There is no Waterloo to be had against terrorists, and brute-force if not thoughtfully applied will only create more extremists willing to use terrorism to further their ideology.

*ignore-list high five*

Ironically, ISIS and other terrorist groups are supported by wealthy Arabs from different Arab states. Wealthy people from the same states allied to the US and UK.

Yes, that is a very worrying fact. We choose our allies and enemies for different reasons than what is ostensibly talked about.

Reported for trolling/bashing/off topic.

Lol sure it's me who is bashing here by speaking the truth.

I thought I was on ignore list.

I'm thankful for TI's posting in these difficult, trying times. The ludicrous, outrageous nature of your posts manages to cheer me up a little bit.

Based on?

Apparently there was someone arrested in Germany (having explosives and machine guns) last week who may have been involved in the attack.

Also there've been arrests in Belgium now.

Good to hear! Hopefully Europe takes all possible and impossible precautions now to prevent this massacre from happening again.

Eh, I don't think all possible precautions are a good idea. Especially since our governments are so into violating our privacy already.

There needs to be a reasonable balance between freedoms of citizens (like privacy rights), dedication to decency (like in the case of Refugees) and safety from terrorism.

Your posts are stupid as shit, to the point where they're funny, which makes me forget about the terrible things that have happened for a bit. I do not in any way think that anything you have to say means any more than the shit I stepped in this morning.
