What do you think about the terrorist attacks in Paris?

If terrorists attacked where you live and you became the victim, wouldn't you like people to care?

Europe is becoming de-stabilized. The economy world wide is declining, so nobody is guaranteed safety in the future. Just because you are safe where you live now doesn't mean that will always be the case.

I think sympathy, empathy and compassion for people you don't know is something that is worth trying to develop if it doesn't come naturally to you, because some day you might depend on those qualities in others. Life is unpredictable and can turn around 180 degrees from one day to the next. I don't think any of the Paris attack victims probably could have predicted that attack. Do not take peace and safety for granted.

Not to get political but I'm catching little bits when I turn on the TV about just how bad Barack Obama's responses to the event have been - bad in the indifferent/nonchalant 'I'm inconvenienced - I should be golfing right now' direction.

Aside from us pissing people off around the world with our wonderful leader, any chance we're going to see a Europe that's both considerably more conservative in it's politics not just on the existential threats pouring in from the middle-east but also considering that we're electing people who can't even show perfunctory support right?

I care because it was f***d up, and they targeted a rock concert.....I mean I myself have gone to many concerts and the thought of what happened in Paris is pretty horrifying. So it makes it feel like even something as lighthearted as going to a concert could be a bloody death sentence. I mean I am not paranoid enough to stop going to concerts, but what is to say a concert here in the U.S couldn't get targeted...from what I understand there are ISIS cells all over the world.

I am not saying it would be any less worse if it wasn't a concert, but of course I relate to being at a concert to enjoy music quite a lot and don't even want to imagine how it would feel for that to be ruined via, violence. I mean one of my favorite bands just cancelled a show in Europe because they had security concerns....its really kind of depressing. But its nothing new for these extremists to target ancient historical sites so why not modern art including music....right?

All that said I figure the world can bomb Syria all they want and it will do nothing to deter this ISIS group....considering they aren't isolated to that region.

Not to mention empathy and compassion is going to be needed in the coming years....as I think s**t is probably going to go down. And all the apathetic people will be part of the problem.

Apart from the poor victims of course, these attacks are really good for the West because it gets us white folk to hate those evil brown people even more so we wont stand in the way of our glorious leaders who are constantly looking for excuses to take over other countries, bit like Hitler did really, but he was evil whereas we are the good guys and its OK for us to drop bombs on hospitals and such and take over other countries because we are good like angels and everyone else is evil and haven't they just proven how nasty they are by doing to us what its OK for us to do to them!

Good job a Syrian passport was found at the scene and not one from these radicalised British Muslims we hear so much about else we would have to drop bombs on and nuke ourselves!
