Safe here too, but heavily showed. They talk of about 150 killed, simultaneous attacks at 3 point :
- France - Germany football match where they used grenades (no injuries)
- Pubs near Republic where they shouted all the pubs in the street (around 40 killed)
- A rock concert at the Bataclan where the shouted the audience during 15minutes, reloading several times (over 100 killed)
I'm sick of this stupid world. What is worth taking someone's life ?

I'm safe boyzbut you are not in Paris, mate.
The scale of this attack is tragic. I hope that nobody here has any family or friends who were injured or had to witness these events.
I've seen a lot of people on social media claim that their heart goes out to the families of those injured while also claiming that "terrorism has no religion" and that "only 0.01% of Muslims agree with these actions". I just hope nobody here will make such statements, as the two statements are mutually exclusive. The latter statement is false and only helps to perpetuate an attitude and environment in Europe which allows these actions to take place, which conflicts with the former.
Attacks like these only make me more steadfast in my views. While nothing can reverse this or possibly replace the people who were lost, I do hope that it will cause people to think long and hard about the direction their countries are heading in. Europe Awake.
You know, I thought Tommy Robinson was undoubtedly a racist who just tries to incite hatred, but this video did sway me to some degree. Perhaps you'll choose to not watch it but I think you would find it interesting, even if it doesn't sway your opinion of him.Show Image(http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2403642/images/n-TOMMY-ROBINSON-large570.jpg)
To give people some perspective of the horror of what happened yesterday at the bataclan:He ended up helping, saving an injured American but getting shot in the arm in the process. That being said, I don't get what his thought process was when he was filming like that and asking "Qu'est-ce qui se passe?" repeatedly when people were obviously in distress.

people that managed to escape, bodies on the floor, people being dragged,
the woman hanging by the window is saying "I can't hold anymore, I'm pregnant"
Meanwhile this pig of a journalist is filming not helping
The country is mourning and will be paralyzed for the next couples of days. Lot of places are closed and it seems that curfews will be in place.Well said. I hope we can learn from tragedies like this with an open mind and not make this about race and religion.
We're still mourning and slowly realising the extent of this event and how it will change a lof of things in France.
But we can't let the mourning of today turn into hate tomorrow. Hate is never the answer. That would make of us people just as bad as them.
Also please people, educate yourself, muslim isn't the ennemy. Some of the muslims are the ennemy.
I have not read it myself but serious intellectuals say that Islam isn't a vindictive religion and that the precepts of the Kuran are being distorded (I'll read the Kuran in a very close future). That wouldn't be the first time that weak-minded people are being lobotomized to serve "bigger purposes".
I also hope no one is forgetting that the West lead by the US is responsible for thousands of death in the East because of wars that should have never happened.
West was the terrorist in those countries.Show Image(http://www.nicematin.com/media_nicematin/imagecache/article-taille-normale-nm/image/ouch/2015/10/06/daf5ac2b39f11da02ab5ced6192c40ae.jpeg)

Most of the Muslim refugees here in Europe had to flee from their home countries because of ISIL ffs!

How many Muslim children have to be lined up and executed by the Taliban before the world recognizes that the oppressed do not deserve to be categorized with their oppressors?
As long as you keep bombing you will not live in peace. You will even fear travelling to the market

Here's an article you should read. (http://mediamatters.org/research/2014/08/21/muslim-leaders-have-roundly-denounced-islamic-s/200498) Muslims hate ISIL way more than non-Muslims do. After all the vast majority of ISIL's victims are Muslims.
This quote comes to mind:QuoteHow many Muslim children have to be lined up and executed by the Taliban before the world recognizes that the oppressed do not deserve to be categorized with their oppressors?
And terrorism has no religion because it is not a person. It is an action, and religion is a tool that can be used to convince people to commit such an action.
What happened in Paris was a tragedy, but the attack shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. France has been combating ISIL and other Islamic militants since 2013 (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-14/france-pays-price-for-front-line-role-from-syria-to-west-africa) and if you bomb them then they're going to bomb you back.The attack is not only the product of bombing IS but also of the immigration policy that France (along with the rest of the EU) has had for the past few decades, the lack of integration that comes along with it, and of course the idiotic refugee "crisis".
To quote some ISIL **** from one of their videos:QuoteAs long as you keep bombing you will not live in peace. You will even fear travelling to the market

Worth watching... http://mediamatters.org/video/2014/09/29/on-cnn-reza-aslan-explains-how-the-media-is-fai/200942
On the topic of "Religion of peace/violence/whatever" and "Muslim countries" this video is worth watching.
Man it's so crazy me and my girlfriend were staying at 90 Rue de Charonne about a month ago.... lots of photos taken from that exact address with bodies all over the street

Ya, I do agree, but we still have to morn the loss of life.Man it's so crazy me and my girlfriend were staying at 90 Rue de Charonne about a month ago.... lots of photos taken from that exact address with bodies all over the street

Yeah but I think that kind of thinking is exactly what terrorists want people to feel
Best way to respond is to give literally no ****s and not change one part of your life for the *******s
Read this article recently and it was a very good read: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/
Stuff like this saddens me. My thoughts are with Europe as they continue to endure the struggle of dealing with the burden of the Middle East.

I certainly don't disagree with the sentiment, and I do understand it. But you're asking people to go against one of the most basic human instincts (something bad happened there, let's stay away for a bit - pattern recognition and all that). Again, I do understand what you're saying, but to condemn (not saying you're taking it quite that far, but some are) others for wanting to be safe hardly seems like the best thing to do.
