Terrorist Attacks in Paris

Well it's about time you wake up. There have been 325 shootings in the USA in 2015 alone so you're not really safe where you are either.

Not to mention, while not on such a large scale, bombings and shootings happen all the time. It's just that it's usually not reported unless it's in a non third world country.

True, I saw two shooting where I live, which is San Antonio. Well, this is great. :/
 
Refugees aren't necessarily fleeing the rebels, but the war itself. Their homes became unsafe and destroyed. They've lost everything. They flee to safety. This is usually when people are more open to suggestion and possibility. The rebel groups know this. They prey on it, almost.

makes sense, thank you.

also, disclaimer that the tweet i posted before is still just speculation and not from an official source!

I agree. We need war. It'll help our country. But I'm pretty sure the U.S military is doing something about it by now.

You've the mindset of a person from the 15th century. War won't solve a single thing and will only make this situation worse. I hope people like you will one day understand that you're giving groups such as ISIS a motivation to kill.
 
War would only cause more commotion, plus more waste of human life. All life is precious, no matter what horrible or evil thing they do.
alot of this has to do with religion, people disagreeing with Isis.
I just wish that peace was a possibility here, but people are too selfish to think of that, its all WAR WAR WAR STOP MESSING WITH US
 
i understand that war is bad, i understand that the rest of the world in turmoil is what they want, but how else do you propose we deal with this situation? these are not people we can simply reason with. i don't think peace is much of an option at this point. this is already a war, by committing these acts of terrorism again and again, they have already declared war.

If one group of individuals declares war then that doesn't mean it's a war. Please check your facts. The situation we're in right now is far away from being a war.
 
I feel these terrorist attacks are similar to the shootings that happen all the time in the US. This kind of thing will never go away until we live in a society where every individual can prosper.

the war on terrorism already exists. and you never answered my question. you say war is bad, ok, what is your solution? if you think we are not in a state of war then it means we are simply being terrorized. what is the alternative to forcibly subduing these extremist groups?

the war on terrorism is pretty complicated-- it started almost 2 decades ago and hasn't made any progress, which is why countries have pulled troops out of there... as a normal person I can't provide any solution, but I don't think declaring war will help much either...

Again, there is no war going on. We are fighting against ISIS from a defense point of view and I don't have any serious problem with the way we're doing that right now. Maybe if you look back in history, then you'll see what starting a war for the purpose of freedom has caused and why most world leaders do not intend to go back to this.

I don't think you understand the definition of war.

Please tell me which country has declared war to ISIS then because I seem to have missed it.
The War on Terror was declared in 2001.

i don't see much alternative to violence at this point though. these people are angry, irrational, and armed. their numbers are growing and our death toll will keep rising. its nice to say war is bad, but what else are we supposed to do? do we just keep waiting? until how many more die?

and this isnt even taking into account the number of civilian lives lost in the middle east.

I hope you realize that the War on Terror was a military campaign against terrorists without calling out a specific group or party and was not a declaration of war
