Islamic extremism for Europe, and racial wars in NA. What has this world come to?

Wait, what?

North America...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Greed and Prejudice from both sides, really if we can go back maybe not interfere with Iraq and be best buddy with the Saudis, but time is now set, and this is the future we live in. It really will be the question do you choose freedom or security. 

As for race, I am not touching that with a ten foot pole. 

Also you should mention  the public execution or mob lynching that is gonna happen (happening) in the Phillipeans, drug cartels in Mexico, (Honestly don't even want to touch Africa, South America, Former Siam Nations). 

 

Ahhh the final formula I cannot believe I forget this one, the MEDIA to magnify the bad and ignore the good in the world, so you will be scared of everyone around you.

I'm with OP. Sure, there has always been terrorists and death and stuff, but just compare 2012 vs 2016. Do you remember this many shooting/terrorist attacks back then? How about 2013? Last year? I dont. There have always been shootings, but we're getting them almost daily. Terrorist attacks weekly...

Yes. The world isn't just North America, Europe and the Middle East.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Well, I'm looking out the window right now and it's not exactly racial holy war on the streets so what the hell are you talking about?

Maybe the recent and multiple cases of black people killed by the cops, and the even more recent shooting in Dallas



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

That does not constitute a war. Society has not broken down in racial armed conflicts in North America yet. Jesus Christ.

Crazy people with more fancy ideas of how to kill people.

I expect some asshole to make an attack during Black Friday soon.

Probably some disease passed on by the constant exchanging of money. 

Only people that will be safe are those that use card.

151,600 people die every day.

Literally a million people could be exterminated by the most evil force on Earth, but if they took more than 6 and a half days to do it they still wouldn't beat the rate that people actually just die at.

Sure you could try to care about each and every death, but if you took more than a minute to read this post, I'm afraid you're going to need to start mourning the 105 people who died while you did it, you monster.

I will not be rude, but oh man do I want to.
First of all, okay, let's just ignore that a group or extremists deliberately murder people all the time. Let's just ignore that they're a growing threat where most of us live. Let's just ignore all that.

Also, about the bolded part, no thanks, I'm trying to be sure I don't have to mourn some of my friends tonight, so yeah, "youknowtheword" you.

Literally more people have fallen over and hit their heads on something sharp in the world than the terrorists killed tonight, like more people probably died from any other cause than terrorists, but it's at the point where they convince a population or fox news tells the whole world to live afraid... not to go outside that you might die, that is the true terror in this world.

I know it's bad if it happens near you or like you said possibly to your friends and I do sympathize with those who lost loved ones, it's a sad thing to have to put up with near you, but all I'm saying is do not let the terrorists allow you to feel that they rule the world because on the scale of things they're literally as dangerous to the world as bee stings, in fact bee stings kill 53 people per year in the US alone, yet here in Ireland they are an endangered species, it's a fucked up world.

I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't worry about idiots doing these actions, all I'm asking is that you don't live in fear, if you really feel that there is a chance of danger in the area you live, look into moving away from it but realistically the statistical chances are if you move anywhere on earth you are more likely to be killed by literally anything else, than "terrorists" you know what, people dying of shock of this on the News might well have killed more than at the actual attack.

 

 

I really don't mean to cause you grief here I don't like I said I'm sorry for the shit that is happening near you tonight, all I'm trying to ask is that you see that all they can really do to the population as a whole is make it afraid of them, don't let that happen, 99.99999% of the world are not murdering assholes, they are people just like you and me, and if you fear them all that you risk happening is conflict between 2 sides who have no will to harm each other ever.

 

Edit- I'm actually going to sleep now though so I wont be able to reply to you if it's after some time, I'm not just ignoring your reply but if you want to put it here or send me a PM with all the swearing you want I'm 100% fine with it and you have my word that I will not report any such PM you send me, but it's almost 3 am in france mate, you should try to get some sleep I think, you might have a busy day tomorrow.

I didn't say that was an actual "war". I actually disagree, I was just pointing out what he might be talking about, jeez.

You're taking "war" rather too literally. I think his main point was that relations between white and black people have gotten worse.
