:p

I agree, resorting to name-calling while expecting to have a civilized conversation, it’s a little bit of nonsense.  

 

I was just pointing out the irony.

While I don't like the phrase "Islam is the religion of peace" (since it's obviously not more peaceful than other religions), I do agree with monocle layton. These kind of posts are useless and provocating. I hope Locknuts his reaction was just a sly dig.

Actually I just want to know if it was Islamic Terror again. Haven't heard anything conclusive yet. Calling it the religion of peace is obviously sarcasm though. 

Edit: ISIS has claimed it. Not totally conclusive, but still a pretty good indicator going by previous attacks.

Charlottesville, Ouagadougou and now my hometown...

It has been a hectic week... That's all I can say, to be honest... Thankfully my folks choose to stay home today and my siblings are out of the country.

Religion of peace?

Well, ISIS is celebrating ….. so yes, the “religion of peace”

Btw, bro, why are you so toxic? You know, put on the blinkers and fallow the crowd ….

 

 

Doesn't necessarily mean they're behind it though. They hate all non-muslims.

I put truth above feels. It makes me unpopular, but I don't really care. It's usually islamic terror so I'm curious to see if it is here too.

Perpetrator is Moroccan.

All in all, it's always good to remember that you live on a planet of 7 billion. The news carefully cherrypicks all the absolute worst incidents they can find, on a daily basis - and among 7 billion, they will find SOMETHING. As a whole, though, we live in a wonderful, peaceful, safe era.

I wouldn't call this a wonderful era. Maybe it's because I was younger and more oblivious to stuff in general, but I feel like the world was a much safer and more peaceful place 10-15 years ago (well, at least the city where I live it definitely was). I'm happy with my own life and honestly 2017 has been probably the best year for me as it brought with it a good bunch of awesome games and movies (and is still bringing them), but outside of the artistic world it has been shit for sure.

the world is safer now than it has ever been, it is a fact. more people died of terrorist acts in the 70-90's than now, by far.
so no, your facts are wrong. your feelings has nostalgia built into it cause you felt safer as a child, not because it WAS safer.

99% Sunni Muslim. 

I suppose people will continue to put the blinkers on though claiming that 'religion' is to blame. Or that people are just evil.

Bad ideas make bad people do bad things. It's really not that hard to grasp.

I hate how little you can do about this. You can't ban vehicles.

Literally anyone of the millions and millions of people behind a wheel can do this if they wanted, disgusts me that this is a problem.

AI controlled vehicles, I guess? That's probably where we're headed at some point anyway.

Edit: though that could lead to even worse things, too.

How about... Don't let muslims into your country? Problem solved! Works like a charm in my country, no need to mess with the cars.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Wow, haven't seen you in quite some time. Last time I saw you, you were claiming bullshit about Palestine and settlers and never responded to when I called you out.

 

Guess there's no point in trying to reason with you. If you're very interested in a country with no Muslims, try joining North Korea. Perhaps a great idea would be for you and everyone else who treats middle easterners like boogey-men to create your own country! Let's hope it isn't as shitty as NK :D

Yeah, that's a great idea. After all, every murderer in the world is muslim, and every muslim is a murderer. How could have no one thought of this before? In fact I'd take it another step further and build a wall around the country, that oughta do it.

Edit: I think I'm beginning to see why people lose themselves in politics discussion.

Yeah I'm probably not gonna participate much. I think all the users needed for the typical wars are already here. The 'VGChartz politics list' is always 100% accurate

 

1. User lists X event

2. People post heartfelt messages

3. Serious discussion arrives with interesting information

4. Prick makes obligatory xenophobic/idiotic statement

5. More pricks gather together and turn it into a useless conversation

6. Criticize said pricks and be called: liberal, muslim, muslim apologist, sjw, antifa, communist, pussy, obama supporter, hillary supporter, racist, self-hating, and/or sheep

7. Realize some people never change as you feel the desire to kill yourself when you begin to also realize that there are more people like them.

8. Give up and let them win. Not like it matters. After all, they hid when you call out their bullshit
