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 think so too, but I don't think I'll be able to as long as I didn't get all the replies that I want from the people I mentioned, but thanks though. No hard feelings.

They might well just be happily asleep in their beds mate, could have had an early night before any of this happened hopefully. I really can't imagine what it's like for you there since it is so close and you do have my sympathy, but even if something did happen to someone you know, they may well just be on the injured list and need you to be at full strenght tomorrow if they need you for something!

You're no use to anyone if you are just ko'd asleep in the morning.

And of course, I'm perfectly fine with someone saying to F me when something like that happens near them so no hard feelings at this side in the slightest. I just hope that the people you were trying to contact are indeed all just in the place where most should be at 2.40am, along with ourselves!

I blame religion. It fosters this kind of extreme behaviour and lack of tolerance. It's a cancer to humanity.

 

If we could get over religion and fostered a culture on the preciousness of life, the world would be a better place.

They might, but they were supposed to go out and celebrate tonight, hence my worries.

I don't live in Nice, so yeah, I won't be able to help them, so I'm just trying to make sure they're all safe, I already know some of them are so... yeah.

I'm not really sure what exactly is going on with the world. But I do know why what's happening is happening.

I chalk it down to simply looking the other direction at the criminals in the world. We have become so fucking PC (Politically Correct) that we just allow all this bullshit to happen. You cant point a finger at any religion (except Christians) You cant point a finger at race (Unless its whites) You cant point a finger at sexuality (Unless you are heterosexual) So this is the result in return. The world has no fucking idea how bad its gotten here in NA. Im in Canada but still. People out on the street shouting "Kill cops" and if you say something, your a racist.

The majority of the people I quoted above have good values and morals which built western civilization. If you shame them and shut them up, what do you have left?

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

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

Worse than Slavery and Jim Crow Laws? Look, race relations have always been bad in the US and racial conflicts keep flaring up. But I would be cautious in calling it war. We're not there yet, and shouldn't have to be. It's why the majority of people would ratther protest when an injustice happens over automatically going for a call-to-arms.

I know there have been numbers put in here to try to distract you from terrorism killings and such, but I sometimes try to use my love of statistics to help others, the population of Nice is 343,000 and 30 were killed, that is 1 person per 11,443 in that area who died last night, you would be very unlucky for it to have been any of your friends or relatives there, I'm not saying it wasn't but just that statistically the chances that someone you love got hurt are low as it stands, you should try to get some rest.

77 killed, toll rising, actually.

I would be unlucky indeed, but I know some of them were celebrating on the Promenade des Anglais, where the attack happened. That kinda increases the "chances", to be honest. I appreciate your effort though, really, it's nice of you.

Don't worry guys, #PrayForNice is the number 1 trend worldwide on Twitter. We've saved France again
