Prayer's for Paris

No one said that you couldn't discuss whatever you wanted, what I said was START YOUR OWN THREAD NOAHSCAPE!!! And I am very thankful that I DON'T have your mindset. It would be horrible to be so bitter and angry all the time. Originally Posted by Emmie

Tradegy struck.. Action is required.

It's the sandbox in case you forgotten. We all are allowed to say our piece without others restricting. We are talking about the Paris tragedy. We haven't gotten off topic. Originally Posted by A2theb2thec

If you and others have nothing else to say regarding the ACTUAL topic, start your own thread to discuss your philosophies espoused in the last several posts.

My cursor is poised on the "Close Thread" icon and y'all know the disdain I have for closing threads.

I find that it is too painful to focus on the suffering and loss of my fellow human beings and so I must focus on those who are helping them.

There will always be hate in this world BUT there will also always be LOVE.
And LOVE ALWAYS WINS.

Prayers for Paris tonight. Especially for the first responders who are brave enough to run TOWARDS danger to help those in need. ❤️ Originally Posted by Emmie

Praying for the families of those who lost loved ones and the citizens of France while being diligent and aware of threats against our citizens and being armed and committed to preventing atrocities in our own country and being tougher towards those who would damage our country and values are not mutually exclusive.

This thread has gotten completely derailed. My ORIGINAL post was about sending prayers to the innocent lives that were lost in Paris, not about TERRORIST or RACE or RELIGIOUS groups. So, if others would like to discuss those things please feel free to start your own thread. Originally Posted by Emmie

You've already shut down the discussion before you've presented your case. You don't want a discussion. You want to stand on a pedastal and show us that you think in higher terms than we do. You don't.

In the greater scheme of things you are absolutely correct!! However, we continuously hear how Islam is not like that, yet it prevails! With that in mind, I'm mindful of the fact that ME countries are taking virtually no action against these jihadist factions except within their own borders. Instead, they appear to wait or expect the West to do something. When the West steps in and Arabs start dying, the West, in effect, creates more jihadists. That is, it's the West's fault!

It's been 14 years but I well remember a few hundred moslems applauding and cheering at the sight of the Towers collapsing and it wasn't isolated to one Arab town.

In light of all this it's pretty fucking hard to maintain a politically correct, reasonable and adult attitude. Kindly notice I've said nothing about moslem killing other moslems with the same chant, "Allah, Akbar"!

Also, you should be mindful that most moslems condemn most every Christen and Jew and Buddhist and Hindu and those moslems not of the same sect.

My 2¢!

There are over 1.5 BILLION practicing Muslims in the world.

How many Muslim terrorists do you think there are -- a few thousand, 10,000?

To condemn every one who worships Islam as a terrorist is wrong. Originally Posted by PizzaLover

I generally don't pray for anyone but I will and have shed a tear! Paris and Charleston are no exception.

Unfortuately many of them wont until their neighbors are the ones laying on the ground, that was my whole point. I would never even have responded to this thread had the OP not started calling people bigots and racists because their eyes have been opened to the truth and no longer want to ignore who it is that is threatening this country and its people.

I don't get it. So we either respond we sympathize with France and their loss, we stand in unity, or we can say how tragic and that's it? So this thread is restricted to those sentiments? What a waste.

Here's my thoughts as to that... Ooo. The suspense.am I going to say something in disagreement like the BLM movement?

I empathize with Paris and their tragedy which hits quite a few outside of the nation personally. An American was killed in the attacks. Never should have happened. We shouldn't have to be praying for the losses but here we are. I hope the families struck by this tragedy and the city of Paris will find peace someday and I'm glad France is reacting as any nation should after facing such a tragedy and might I add in a very aggressive manner.. Only in two days. Something I haven't seen in a long while. Jordan being the other exception.

I don't get it. Originally Posted by A2theb2thec
