Terrorist Attacks in Paris

at least one of the attackers known to have entered via greece

compassion and all is nice, but countries put their own people first, and rightly so.
 
im terrified I've been shaking all day today and yesterday.
I didn't even sleep until 5am this morning and had to get up for work at 8am...

what I'm scared about now is the nuclear plants and I happen to live in a state that has one. there are rumors now about nuclear war, etc.
I'm really messed up from this and can't sleep. opinions? help

I've even been having nightmares about attacks and nuclear war and literally I die in every one and it wakes me up suddenly and I panic everytime.......

it'll only get worse thanks to europe's refugee policy

100% agree. Even with stricter policies they're just in a geographically dangerous place given that people can sneak into European countries by boat/train. Terrorism happens everywhere, but I'm so thankful I'm not in Europe and my thoughts go out to those who are in countries that are so susceptible to these attacks.

It's all so terrible. A Cambodian restaurant was among those fired at and at least 14 people were killed... I'm glad my Cambodian relatives in Paris are safe.. How is it that there were even bombings in Beirut around the same time? How is this still happening in the world?

Ugh religion is far too often used by minorities and bigots as an excuse for hatred. It just antagonises and emphasises differences among people... This is why all these #prayforparis posts seem so ironic to me even though they are meant for good. Innocent people were just slaughtered in the name of another imaginary deity. If they were born in another part of the world, they would be worshipping another God! People say that terrorism has no face or religion and that it's just an act of evil people - while I want to believe this is true, it is almost always fuelled by religion. Sorry /end rant about religion.

Also completely agree with this. I have Muslim family members and they always say that the people who kill in the name of Islam aren't real Muslims, and yet they don't associate with Jewish people. All it takes is the mindset they're raising their children with and one child to end up deranged or mentally ill to result in things like this. Saying that terrorism strictly involves mental derangement regardless of beliefs is ridiculous to me. They clearly both play a part.

im just a freak and have been reading news constantly and possibilities of it and apparently it's in the talks but I am also just trying to disregard it because I'm just freaking myself out and it's unhealthy.

it just terrifies me, the thought that is....

I have no idea which publications you're reading, because I haven't heard any mention of nukes. Countries are going to strike back at ISIS for this as well as the other attacks, but dropping atomic bombs on them carries its own risks, not the least of which is the amount of civilian casualties.

probably faulty ones because nothing was or has been published about anything nuclear related in the major news I follow... but with all these attacks and U.S. attacking back I'm afraid it'll just tick them off and they'll just wanna wipe us out. plus doesn't and china and russia already want to nuke us? china does have a good amount of them especially. then again don't we have a pact against using those??

I mean america does have good defense and we can detect and try to reverse it.... right?
I just need support and someone to tell me I'm wrong and why or something, please. my state has one of the biggest plants and it'd hit MULTIPLE states next to me including mine if someone did decide to drop and that makes me sick to my stomach more than it probably should.

I have no idea what the state of nuclear weapons is in China, but I don't think you have much to fear from Russia. Also, nukes aren't as destructive as they're made out to be. They generally hit an area that's a few miles wide, but that's it.

And if one flies at the US they won't hesitate to retaliate, possibly with multiple nuclear strikes. That thought alone keeps would-be attackers at bay. It's basic nuclear deterrence.

if plants were hit it is said it'll take out at least a whole state. whether it hits a plant or ground.
and true. I know we would see it, it's just a scary thought and I'm pretty afraid of another war that could be in the works.

why can't everyone get along? like we have our own countries, why can't we all just live happily and be nice? the sad thing is, that the answer to that is simply; because it'd be too easy and human feed off drama and war in this instance... but that makes me so sad. I want everyone to live happily and not have to worry about these kinds of things..

It's irrational, don't worry.
Aside from the fact the US has many, many allies and a strong defence regardless; China has no reason to attack the US and the terrorists don't have the resources to pull off a nuclear attack. It simply won't happen.
It's the world against them as far we're concerned. There's no need to worry as much as this. It's a mess, definitely, but don't let it bring you down too much, stay strong please..!

Hey, in an ideal world right? At least there are people who desire it to be that way...

you are helping me - and I appreciate that. I'm sorry for my fear, I just wanna be okay again. I don't wanna live in fear anymore..
 
I don't know if this has been said, since I haven't read through all the posts. I know this superstition doesn't apply to everywhere, probably not for Paris or Japan. But I noticed that Japan's earthquake and the Attack on Paris was both on Friday the 13th. I'm don't believe in superstition, and maybe it's just a coincidence. I don't know why I'm posting anymore, actually.

Nuclear power plants don't produce nuclear weapons.

no they don't, but when striked it'll cause immense destruction.
I know they don't produce them.
