All talk about conspiracy-theories and false flag attacks are tin-foil hat rubbish but there are two things which puzzle me about this particular terrorist-act. Firstly, how did they know when to strike exactly so that everyone they wanted to kill were in the same room at the same time. Secondly, how is it possible in a huge city like Paris just drive away and disappear without a sight. There must be CCTV-cameras on every corner.

France has its colonial past so they can't really stop people coming from countries such as Algeria but why oh why countries which have no history whatsoever of having colonised other countries would have to accept immigration from countries with totally incompatible values?
-
But is Hollande a muslim? To my knowledge he isn't. So why does he think he qualified to assess what belongs to Islam and what doesn't?
-
It is just intolerable after events like this one how politicians rush to claim that "this has nothing to do with Islam" as if they were qualified theologists being able to tell what belongs to any religion. Similarly whinging and whining by muslims about islamophobia as I don't think any sane person believes that all muslims are terrorists.

There you go! An attack in the centre of an "important" capital is worth multiple amounts of attacks in somewhere else. That's the way the world works.

Don't you see, there's a devious agenda behind all this. An agenda which seems to cross over the Atlantic.
-
It has always been a source of astonishment for me that are those people here in Europe who openly support immigration from countries as incompatible as possible with western values as possible simply naive and gullible or are most of them cultural-marxists who callously want to proceed the end of cohesion within the nation-states of Europe. Doubtlessly both of them are there in large numbers. There are surely a lot of people in the first group who are waking up from their cinderella-dreams. Unfortunately, for the second group things are going exactly by the script and too many of these people are in powerful positions.

Oh boys, all this is just prelude. Mark my words.

This is just the beginning. 2015 will go down as the year of relentless islamist-terrorism in Europe. Fools like Hollande will be making their sorry excuses but the line will be crossed this year. Perhaps this was not enough to cross that line but you can bet your bottom dollar that there's gonna be more to follow.

The usual excuse for terrorism following the US and UK involvement in the Middle-East conflict is that if you take war to our territory we will take it to yours and if you randomly kill our civilians we will kill yours. Some people might even buy that but to get the knickers in a twist over cartoons is an entirely different matter altogether.

I'm a pessimist in believing all this is just a beginning of what is going to follow.

Proportional Representation Discussion
-TSS- replied to Michael Hardner's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Canada is known for its electorate being, what the editors call fickle, which means that there are not that many bastions or strongholds for one party in any particular area. In the UK under the FPTP-system if you are a Tory-voter living in Northern-England or a Labour voter living in SE_england you can just as well not bother to turn up at the election because your vote is going to be wasted. About 50% of overall votes in the UK-elections are wasted votes. I think this is a fundamental flaw in the FPTP-system. Everyone's vote should be of equal value all across the country. Another argument against the FPTP-system is that its main argument is that it always returns a government with a majority. Except that it doesn't. You've had two elections in Canada where the election didn't return one party with a majority and the lates UK election was another example. Moreover, even when the system produces a single-party majority it is often grotesquely undemocratic like in the UK-elections of 2005 when the Labour-party received 35% of the votes but received 55% of the seats. Call it what you want but it is not democracy. Do I totally detest FPTP? Mostly yes but if there is one argument to be made in favour of FPTP it is as follows: FPTP according to its critics always returns white middle-aged men as MP's and excludes minorities. Well, I really do support a system where white middle-aged men are the decision-makers instead of some barely out of their nappies hippies. But in all seriousness, the FPTP is a relic and it should go. -

FPTP functions as a system as long as the two main parties get more than 90% of the combined vote nationally. As soon as there is a third or perhaps a fourth strong national party and maybe a party with a small national support but a strong support in a particular regional area the results of the elections under the FPTP-system become totally capricious. -

Sorry but that is rubbish. In Greece most parties can disagree on domestic policies but they are very unanimous on foreign policy, which means cheat as much out of the EU as you can. -
One can get some aspect why a peaceful solution in the Middle-East is impossible as people there live with the reality every day but the events over there seem to turn people living in far-away lands with nothing whatsoever to do with the Middle-East into crazed maniacs when the topic crops up in any conversation.

If you remember the emergency landing on the Hudson-river a few years back that was considered as master-class piloting and that happened in a broad daylight on a placid river. Imagine trying the same in darkness on a stormy sea.

According to the latest news it is a possibility that people may have been alive when the plane hit the ocean and have died of drowning as the plane sank. The evidence to suggest this was that the bodies were intact when found. In a powerful crash into an ocean they would have all turned into minced meat.

Another thing is that while otherwise knowledge of the local language is very important there is one exception; if you are an immigrant in any of the Nordic countries and you're from USA/UK/Canada/Australia learning the local language is just sheer waste of time. No-one will give you an opportunity to speak the local language as as soon as they realize you're from the aforementioned countries they selfishly want to practise their English instead of letting you practise your command of the local language. Even though employers in those countries may require that you must speak Finnish/Danish/Swedish/Norwegian but as a native speaker of English you will come in as a very handy exception to the rule.' And don't let me go into detail what awaits for you if you are a young man from an English-speaking country...

Countries such as the Nordic countries such as Sweden or Norway which have very large immigrant-communities in relation to their population only do so because they are very rich and hand out very generous social benefits. If they for some reason ceased to be rich and generous they would actually lose or "lose" many immigrants. Countries such as the UK and the USA don't have that option; even if their economies collapsed and the standard of living plummetted they would still receive immigration. Cultural and historical reasons for that. Countries such as Canada or Australia fall somewhere between there. Both are extremely magnetic countries; much more so than Sweden or Norway but if your country went bust your immigrants would just move south of the border; even if it had gone bust too.

What really struck me about this incident was how it became a world-wide top-story even though only two people died. Don't get me wrong; two people too many of course but when you compare the incident and the scale of it to many other events around the world and the amount of attention given to various events it is easy to predict that there will be a lot more incidents like this one in the "important" countries and cities around the world if it ensures your cause to the world-wide audience. After all, attention is like oxygen to these people.

As I've said before the only solution is a two-state solution. What I'm really tired of, and I can safely assume to be speaking for countless others, that those desert-religions have such a huge impact on our lives. Those desert religions should really have stayed where they originated from; that is to say the desert.
-
All the more reason why there can be no peace in the Middle-East without some sort of two-state solution as the Israeli demographics show that without such a solution the Jewish people will end up in a minority. Too bad that none of the sides of the conflict want to even talk about a two-state solution. However, for the outsiders to do such as the lunatic new government of Sweden did, that was to recognize Palestine, is not the way forward. You don't recognize countries which don't exist, al least not yet.

Surprise! Israel refuses cooperation with UN Gaza war probe
-TSS- replied to marcus's topic in The Rest of the World
Excuse me for being a bit provocative but I can't help saying that international law shouldn't be based on what is written in fairytale-books. On a serious note, there can not be a lasting peace without some sort of two-state solution but unfortunately that seems to a remote option.- 293 replies

-TSS- replied to marcus's topic in The Rest of the World
I find it quite astonishing that the countries which have recognized Palestine include all the ex-Eastern block countries and until recently none of the Western-European countries until the newly-elected Swedish government decided to recognize Palestine. When I was talking about this with my more educated friend he pointed out that there is nothing ex about the Eastern-block countries regarding this issue. Eastern Europeans just hate Jews and do whatever to annoy Israel like recognizing Palestine as if they cared anything about Palestine itself.- 293 replies

"This is what happens to racists in Canada"
-TSS- replied to Michael Hardner's topic in Religion & Politics
That's just about the most stupid thing I've ever seen. Firstably, why are we made to believe that if you are against unfettered immigration you would find moronic behaviour such as on the video acceptable? Secondly, why is it a common assumption that immigrants are like big babies totally incapable of standing up for themselves and therefore the "good people" are needed to defend them? On the whole, when someone is unfairly bullied people usually take the side of that person. Nothing to do with whether you condone immigration or multiculturalism.
