Few words to describe what happened in Paris yesterday. Where does the French nation go from here?
You know that the refuges from Syria are running away from the very lunatics who planned the attacks, right?Months ago, when they let millions of people from sierra unchecked into europe, I said it was just a matter of time until something like this happened.
I kinda hoped I'd be wrong =/
What, and it wouldn't have happened if they didn't? Do you honestly believe that?Months ago, when they let millions of people from Syria unchecked into Europe, I said it was just a matter of time until something like this happened.

Those symbols had a lot of people in them and the weapons they used also had people in them. I don't think there's better or worse just death tolls and fear, we'll see if france handles their 9/11 a little better than we did.I think this was worse than 9/11, for the 9/11 attacks the targets were symbols, these attacks targeted people, innocents. What the hell is wrong with them?
Like others have said, the refugees didn't do this. They're running from the same people that committed this atrocity.Months ago, when they let millions of people from sierra unchecked into europe, I said it was just a matter of time until something like this happened.
I kinda hoped I'd be wrong =/
Nathan Bitgood said:The recent bombings and shootings in Paris, as horrible as they are, are small change compared to what that city's been through. The Viking siege of 845, The Black Death (1466) The Reign of Terror (1793), the Prussian bombardment (1871), and the Nazi occupation (1940) are just a few of the evils it's so far survived. If the radicals think they have what it takes to succeed where these unspeakable horrors have failed, they are poor students of history.
Paris has always absorbed the evil of madmen and tyrants, it has outlasted them, and raised its towers, glittering and splendid, over their bones, et, si Dieu le veut, it always will.
Well I guess we could wait for another attack in a different country. Maybe one month from now, two months tops?If this doesn't start some sort of extended armed conflict, I have no idea what will.
How about less than one day from yesterday's attacks?Well I guess we could wait for another attack in a different country. Maybe one month from now, two months tops?
More of this, or this but bigger, or this but on a government target. Could be a number of things, really. "Bombing your capital city" is definitely up there, of course, even though it doesn't really make for much of a threat to the French state as a whole.If this doesn't start some sort of extended armed conflict, I have no idea what will.
