What a bunch of whine lol
Let people remember this how they wanna. Nobody's forcing anything. Some are just sad and angry about the whole shit and want to DO something with those feelings. So they put candles and flowers, or change their facebook pic..
You're a sad little f@#! if you wanna badmouth that lol
Regarding Polish/Bulgarian tragedies:
1) people care more about people they personally know or whom they feel a strong connection with. And since the vast majority of ppl in the internet, on English speaking forums, are from the west, more people care about things happening in France than in the middle of nowhere in Siberia.
Same other way around, as if Chinese people care deeply about the things that happen here.
2) you cant compare the events in Smolensk and Burgas to this. Smolensk was an accident (as far as we know). Burgas was a Palestine-Israel incident taking place in a random place in Europe. Also 6 people died or so, the only Bulgarian who did was the bus driver.
I'm sorry we didnt launch a 'JE SUIS UN CHAUFFEUR DE BUS'-campaign back then.
What makes this so bad is the horrific nature of the killings, the large amount of casualties and the fact that it's AGAIN hitting the French ppl.
Nino: you are right that western interference in the mid east is worthy of a deeep facepalm, but you have to keep in mind that it was done with more or less right intentions. Especially in Syria cause we have absolutely nothing to gain there. We thought we helped oppressed people get rid of a dictator, but instead we only helped islamic fascists gain ground.
I agree that the politicians who were behind all this are stupid f@#!s who are incredibly naieve, but you cant accuse them of being evil at heart. And even if they were, does it justify killing completely random ppl who have absolutely nothing to do with anything that is taking place in Syria?
You can argue that we are responsible cause we are the voters, but the power of a voter is limited. I think the vast majority of Europeans were against going into Iraq and Afghanistan, but its the people at the top who decide.
Furthermore, this is not about 'revenge' anymore. This is about jihad against unbelievers, against the Satan, which is more and more identified as jews and 'the West', whatever that might be. Even if we pulled out of Syria, Iraq and the entire middle East, we would still be the enemy.
This jihad is more than just a religious struggle, it's a strife also of frustrated young men who for some reason feel 'unacknowledged' (is that english?) ánd of men who are violent just for violence's sake.
They are definitely not the most learned when it comes to the Quran, the homegrown terrorists from Belgium and France are street trash who take their anti-authoritarianism one step further while at the same time borrowing the language of war from the teachings by which their parents abide.
The terrorists in the middle east are somewhat different because they operate as a state, with a shared doctrine they borrowed from Islam and which gives them a free pass to kill not just the ones responsible for Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria, but everyone who isnt Islamic as they are. Christians, qurds and even less fanatic muslims are killed without a prob, and in a very very very gruesome way as well.
It's way way way too simple, as well as unfair, to put all of this just on western policies.
Lastly, I dont see the harm in some good jokes as long as they arent ill-spirited or taking the piss out of victims and their families. Didn't happen. Won't happen.
You think nobody ever cracked a joke in the death camps of Eastern Europe?
They sure did.
...When I was interviewed for Spielberg and they asked me, what I thought was the reason I survived, they probably expected me to answer good fortune or other things I said that I thought it was laughter and humor, not to take things the way we were living but to dress them up as something different. That was what helped me I wasn't thinking about miracles and wasn't thinking anything, I only thought how not to take things
seriously, as if I thought that this was the proportion that I was giving, and I guess it (this attitude) helped me. Because it was absurd all that time, it was unconceivable, that they could do those things to people.
Also Komo,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_2015 . The coming year I'm afraid we'll be looking at a new terrorist attack on western soil every month. At some point too you'll have to acknowledge that it is indeed happening in your own
backyard home.
