I'm not bandwagon person and the 15 minute catch phrases are meaningless. People are dead and a slogan isn't going to bring them back or memorialise them. It's nice to see JustRose and you support freedom of speech of the newspaper.
Sending prayers out for the dead and their families and friends. Sending prayers out that this violence will stop. Sending prayers out that a way will be found to stop the violence.
I believe in prayer. A sign or slogan won't help what needs to be done. But, glad you believe in freedom of speech in France.
I agree with freedom of speech everywhere. We all exercise it here of this support forum. However, your response did not promote solace, compassion, or concern, which I believe is what's needed now. Then again, that's just my opinion. As I said, antagonism and sarcasm isn't what's needed in this situation. Seeing all of those innocent people running for their lives, knowing people are wondering if this is the last of it, brings forth my compassion. I will pray that this is the end of it, and hope that my prayers are answered.
My quotes have nothing to do with this thread. I can't help how YOU interpret my posts. A smiley face does not erase the sentiment behind the statement. I won't be baited by you on such a sensitive topic. You have a nice day.
I would dearly like to know how YOU interpret my quote, "practice what you preach, " as it's obvious that the true meaning is lost on you. Now... Apparently the leader of this act of terrorism had no criminal history. How can acts of terrorism be stopped when you can't know what faction or person is responsible. Just scary.
I suggest rereading the news, there were more deaths. As far as the terrorists moving about, I sure you're familiar with the Schengen Visa Countries List.
I have a hectic job, I have internet on my Iphone and keep with the news. Schengen Visa Countries List, is a quite simple loop hole, then there's all those "boat immigrants" coming through the EU. It's a no brainer how they got back in the EU. No worries, I'm well schooled and informed.
I actually live in the EU, I travel the EU, it's fluid, there's no check points. I believe you have answered your own question why they were allowed to travel freely.
Gang bangers, members of hate groups, ex-criminals, people with terrorists connections, radical ideologies are walking/freely roaming the streets of every major city in every country on the face of the planet. Let's just keep those innocent people that lost their lives in our prayers.
An excellent article by Ali A. Rizvi, on free speech & terrorism, & an excellent discussion between Douglas K Murray & Maajid Nawaz, on the reaction to Paris attacks.
