Many dead in coordinated Paris shootings and explosions

[DrRingDing]

Really? You're gonna do this now?

Pathetic.

 

[Favelado]

What have you posted on Facebook in reaction to the tragedy DrRingDing ? It must be brilliant and better than what your average moron has to offer. I'm here waiting to press "like". Enlighten me.

 

[DrRingDing]

Plenty of people changed their profile pic to the Palestinian flag last year to.

Hardly equivalent either.

 

[Pickman's model]

This image seems more fitting but i'm not gonna slag off someone for using a flag to express solidarity with people after this, especially not now and especially as they're doing it for the right reason.

yeh cos there's nothing nationalist about the eiffel tower

 

[Doctor Carrot]

A mate of mine on FB changed his profile pic to the tricalore and mentioned the bombings in Lebanon by daesh. He must be a really confused racist.

 

[Pickman's model]

I would suggest we get some perspective and if you feel motivated to tackle the cause of this suffering supporting those who are genuinely fighting for equality and Liberty against IS.

Clue: that isn't the French state.

it would indeed be good if you got some perspective

 

[Diamond]

We seem to have interesting times ahead.

Looks like you have been waiting for them

 

[mauvais]

There's no secret here, no mystery and no coverup far as I know, it's just the way it is, and increasing public awareness is unlikely to change much, I fear.

No of course not. It's been apparent for decades to anyone who cared. But in terms of popular support (or ambivalence), big difference between distant, abstract truths and the in-focus, tangible version once you're forced to pick a side.

Some bloke in one of the groups I am part of on FB changed his profile pic to the Roman imperial eagle for all of September to commemorate the Varian disaster; he must be a really ancient racist.

Worked into a peace symbol too. Arrogant racist French pricks, thinking only they can bring about peace!

I'm guessing most of those displaying the tricolour are doing so to show solidarity with the French people, not its government.

Pathetic.

You certainly are on this thread.

i never knew for some the disaster of the teutoburger wald was so fresh does he channel augustus and wander the streets at night enquiring of varus' shade the legions' location?

I'm sure they'd justify it as such.

It was me. I've turned it up to 40 degrees remotely. Thought I'd make him sweat a bit.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Yes. Just as those who displayed the Palestinian flag did so to show solidarity with the Palestinian people.

You're all over the place on this.

And so it starts:

Poland has announced it will no longer take refugees via an EU programme, in a deeply controversial statement which linked the crisis to the killings in Paris.

“The European Council’s decisions, which we criticised, on the relocation of refugees and immigrants to all EU countries are part of European law,” European affairs ministerKonrad Szymanski wrote on right-leaning website wPolityce.pl.

“After the tragic events of Paris we do not see the political possibility of respecting them,” he said.

Under the EU relocation plan, 160,000 refugees registered in frontline states Greece and Italy were to be relocated around the 28-member bloc, but there has been fierce resistance from several eastern European countries.

Paris attacks: one attacker was 'French extremist known to police' – live

The 2 are not equivalent. I've seen a lot of nasty liberalism from you recently. Not a good look.

French extremist- that's pretty vague.

 

[bluescreen]

You're quoting the Guardian tag - the action of the Polish government, though not wholly unexpected, was what I was trying to draw attention to.

liberalism never surprising from a liberal nor the wankiness of your posts from you.

So this guy drags a baby grand piano behind a bike up to the cordon around the Bataclan venue, and plays "Imagine"



Because, eh, why the hell not.

That party is barking. Their defence minister reckons the protocols are real.

Macierewicz told listeners to Radio Maryja in 2002 that he had read Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a pamphlet that purports to be a Jewish plan to control the global economy and media, but which has been exposed as a hoax.

He acknowledged there was debate about the pamphlet’s authenticity, but told a listener: “Experience shows that there are such groups in Jewish circles.”

seems to have got the eiffel tower wrong tho

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Because you deem it to be so, and despite the reasons they may give for doing it, those displaying the French flag are doing a racist thing, according to you. And that despite the fact that the French flag has different meanings to many people - symbolising particular ideals.

I'll ignore the personal digs. This isn't the place to be a twat.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Ha someone just put that peace symbol with the tricalore transparently on top. I think there's a limit! I was tempted to say 'Could you work a bloke in a stripy shirt with onions round his neck in there too?'

 

[DotCommunist]

told you they'd be known

surely the intelligence arm operate on the 'know them, watch them' thing on the idea that
1) they've done nothing yet and may lead you to bigger fish
2)if you nab the ones you know before something happens its internment (always a winner eh) and they'll be replaced by people you don't know

thats why I recon they are always known. Another did just occur to me- arse covering. 'We knew of him but we didn't know he planned this' presumably sounds a lot better than 'we didn't have a scooby.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

No, but you see, there is another layer of symbolisme here *lights Gauloise*
