Terrorist attack in Barcelona

F@#%ing horrible! 2 people were arrested. Lets hope their families won't recognize these cowards tomorrow.

Awesome. Leaders will all condemn this and yet again nothing, absolutely nothing will be done to try to prevent this sort of thing from happening over and over again. I get that there is no right or easy answer on how to fix this, but just doing nothing doesn't seem like a good strategy either. Peace and love isn't winning. Too many humans are garbage. Most people just want to peacefully live their lives, yet a very small number have violent agendas to force you to live the way they believe is the "right" or only way to live.

Where is world terrorism on the agenda at the U.N.? They are too busy condemning Canada for our human rights abuses with nary a word about the Chinese or Saudi Arabia or Iran or Afghanistan, etc.

bottom line is we live in a world with a lot of messed up people. why can't everyone just get along, live in peace and go about your life without harming people. stuff like this is just sickening to hear about.

I agree with you.

Yes it's sickening but it doesn't look like it will ever slow down. These Islamic extremists/radicals have absolutely no interest in any kind of peaceful co-existence with anyone (including in the Middle East), and need to be wiped off the face of the earth. There's no rehabilitating or educating them. They see happiness and co-existence, affluence, justice and educational systems in western cultures and they want to destroy it wherever it exists.

Exactly. But what will it take? Does anyone know the answer to this because I find hard to believe that we can't get rid of these murderes once and for all? I'm pretty sure the Nazi's were a little bit stronger than these bullies and it didn't take long to stop them once everyone woke up. What kind of a wake up call do we need this time because I believe that time has come.

Edit. Oh wait. I just remembered. Trump said he was going to bomb the shit out of them.

Now there's a mass knife attack in Finland this morning. Crazy madness.

Very much the proto-typical Trump notion: Flashy proposed action which will do pretty much nothing to address the issue.

The people who trot out the 'let's indiscriminately kill some muslims so that innocent people don't die' are some of my favourites.

It was only a matter of time until this thread inevitably became about Trump somehow...
