Thousands of terror attacks have occurred since 9/11 attack. The world continues to mourns the innocent lives lost in ongoing terrorist attacks. The world hopes the terrorists are brought to justice. Western nations are not doing enough to stop global terrorism. Weak governments in Europe are sitting on their hands as the terrorists wreck havoc. Before the 9/11 attacks the world used to be a nice peaceful place where people lived easy laid back lives. 9/11 attack in 2001 has changed the world and transformed it into a nightmarish hell on Earth.

Meanwhile more innocent civilians die in the middle east from terrorists known as the USA,  Russia, France,  Britain etc 

 

Why doesn't the world mourn these deaths aswell?

Enough is enough, we dont have to in the west tolerate someone delusional revenge by killing innocents here either...

 



attacks are getting more frequent in recent years, but not worse on a casualty scale.
Also terrorism itself has been worse a few decades ago due to extreme left terrorism and separatistic terrorism among others that have been slowly eradicated (at least in the West). I don't think islamic terrorism will be the odd one out. In a few decades, no one will talk about it any more.



No it's not. Security is slipping, education isn't being as valued as a way to counter terrorism, and we're in a world thats more connected than ever.



It might not be getting worse in Western Europe, but I still feel safer here in Eastern Europe.

ISIS & co. is in a desperate position so it wouldn't surprise me if attacks become more frequent as they throw everything they have left at us.

I agree, we will probably see more of these smaller attacks the next few years. But after that it will probably/hopefully get less.

Unlike the attacks in Paris and Brussels, which were carefully organised by ISIS, the more recent smaller attacks are mostly done by lone wolves who support ISIS. Now that they are getting defeated, ISIS doesn't have time for attacks in the west anymore, but their supporters who live here will get desperate.



Yes it will get worse than now if the isis and its supporters like the saudis and the other arabic countries get money for their oil the only way to stop them is to sanction them

Europe as a whole remains ridiculously safe, compared to the rest of the world. You really shouldn't be afraid travelling, anywhere. Baltics are a bit more dangerous, perhaps. The rest is disneyland.

Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

90 people were killed in an explosion in Kabul last week. That's 3X the death count of London and Manchester combined.

Terrorism dominates the news cycle when Western white people are at risk. This is what we're dealing with in my opinion.

how is that "liberals" fault?

the main difference between the two cities in my opinion is that in Chicago you are fucked and forgotten if you are poor, so you have to do "something" to make a living

 

Hasn't that place been under democratic control since almost any of us have been born?

NYC and LA have taken steps to reduce violence, what has Chicago done?

 

To me the issue I found is  that city is actually quite racist towards blacks passively overall. 

Well both NYC and LA are also run by Democrats so it looks like Chicago is just electing the wrong type of Democrats.  Also I'm pretty sure the poverty rate in Chicago is much higher then it is in Toronto.  Plus its a lot easier to get a gun in Chicago then in Toronto.  High poverty rates and easy access to weapons always lead to a high homicide rate that is pretty much the case is all cities with high homicide rates.  Anyway St Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans and Detroit had higher homicide rates then Chicago in 2016.
