The leftists don't want to believe what's on that murderer's Facebook page...that he was insanely and violently opposed to Trump and in support of Bernie and Stein. You point it out in his own postings and it just doesn't register...they still think he's a Trump supporter.

I totally agree. Nothing wrong with having feelings...just need to keep rationality in control in the midst of it.

The left.

Nope...there's something wrong with projecting those emotions onto the people who respond responsibly, in an attempt to make their position seem weak.

Responding to a terrorist attack with calls for increased security and counter-terrorism.

Yes...I think those who intentionally call it "fear" or "anger" are projecting. In reality, the people who see the problem of terrorism are not operating from unconscious and involuntary drives. They're operating consciously and voluntarily...out of responsibility.

Instead of calling it "fear" or "anger" I prefer to call it "responsibility"...and taking responsibility for protecting the lives of others is an act of love.

If there's a view of the sunrise, get up early enough to face it as it goes from dark to light...otherwise, 7am or wake up with the sun. Some breath work, meditation, some light movement to get the muscles warmed up and qi flowing, tongue scraping and oil pulling, and bathing...feel fully cleansed after all of it. Breakfast at 8am. Soaked rolled oats, with flax meal, blueberries and a little bit of walnuts, as an example...for all meals, chew until liquified. 10 minute slow relaxing walk after (helps digestion). Relax time for 1 hour or so...spend some of it sunbathing on clear days...but it's a time to do whatever feels good and just chill. Exercise some time during 9:30 to 10:30, lasting until 10:30 to 11:30 (about an hour). Running is good, but anything equally physical. Strength building, too. The body needs it! Get clean after exercise. Meditation time for like half an hour. Lunch at about noon-1, then a 10 minute slow relaxing walk. Lunch should be a fresh salad with whatever else, unless it's winter (a time too cold for fresh salads). Relax until 3pm, stay in the shade, do something enjoyable. Do something productive from 3 to 4:30...actual work. Clean and organize things if nothing else. 4:30 meditation time. 5-6pm dinner. Smaller portions, warmer simpler foods...10 minute slow relaxing walk after. Freedom for the rest of the day (a waking day should be 16 hours...a natural way of living is doing things only to 70%, so 11 hours should be spent scheduled for the day, and the rest should be unscheduled...if the desire for more spiritual study is present, then you're free to do it. Nice to not have such a long day of a rigid schedule...naturalness is best for body mind spirit health)

Nietzsche's quote is a good one...but no, we are not free to be idiots in the United States. There are consequences to be paid for some idiotic things, legal or otherwise. One non-legal consequence to being an idiot in regard to the discussion at hand is that innocents are slaughtered. Like I said in the opening post, that blood is partially on the hands of everyone who continues to downplay the problem. Downplaying is why the perpetrator was allowed back into the country from Libya/Syria (I think that's where he went), without surveillance...it's why his father was permitted to enter the country as a refugee, despite being a member of a terrorist organization. Downplaying is why no one reported the perpetrator flying the Islamic State flag from his window days before the attack. Downplaying is enabling these events to occur. We are currently free to do it in the US, because we have the First Amendment. So, the consequences aren't legal...but they are still there. Civilized society still pays for this negligence...with lives. Free to be idiots.

Islam is used as a front for spreading terrorism by which innocent people are mass murdered. I really do think anyone supporting it or downplaying it should be imprisoned. Some of them are even shills. Sorry that you don't like what I think. Don't lump me into the category of the people who throw gays off of buildings, forcing women to wear veils or do other things, etc. They're the ones I'm strongly against. There's a point where free speech is destructive. For instance, we have laws against defamation...is speech really "free" in light of that? Why should we continue to let people downplay a front for terrorism, which permits them to continue operating in our countries?

You misunderstood me...no where did I say that. I wasn't wanting you personally to be punished or something. It was 100% hypothetical, and was about anyone. It seems that further discussion in this thread with you isn't going to be productive...I've already said my point on this matter, that criticizing Trump for calling the perpetrators "losers" in this thread dedicated to the mass murder of children is highly offensive to me. But taking offense all the time doesn't solve anything, especially when the person doing the offending doesn't get that they're doing the wrong thing. We have different perspectives. Beyond some ideas that we both disagree with, I respect you as a person...at least personally, I'm sure we could be friends in real life (needs to be said, because you actually thought I wanted you dead???). I don't like to see bad vibes between any daobums. So, maybe I'll try to avoid discussion in here with you from now on so as to preserve the peace.

I guess if everyone thought and felt the same things, the world would be an incredibly dull place. But are you really talking about name calling being this horrendous thing, in a thread that's about the random murder of (what is it) 22 little kids? Please give it some thought, Luke. Take a day or two. I'm not going to try to be manipulative in saying this, and try to get you to leave or be silenced or something - but I find your posts here to be incredibly offensive. It doesn't seem like you're intending them to be that way at all...but think of why this thread was started. Read up about what happened. Then think of how crazy it is to be complaining about murderous terrorists being called losers in a thread about what happened. Maybe you want to make another one that's about the subject of how to appease terrorists and whether the coexist strategy can work? This thread is absolutely not about that. Or feel free to stay here...I just hope you get what I'm saying.

I have some words: worst President in all of US history, who is guilty of treason.

Don't worry I'll just do the first one when appropriate.

I stopped reading there. So ridiculous.

I thought his speech was decent. He actually used the phrase "Islamic terror" in it right in front of them, and told them to drive out the terrorists from their countries numerous times. It was like a teacher scolding mischevious children...which is appropriate. But I agree that playing nice with the country who admitted to funding terrorism last year is pretty lame. It seems like it was all about $.

I believe the vast majority inwardly cheer every time one of these attacks happen. Everyone roots for their home team, which in this case is Islam. You are a decent guy with good intentions...but yes, in the theoretical world where I'm supreme ruler, you'd be imprisoned for saying what you did. 25 years sounds reasonable to me. I view that kind of thinking as one of the causes of why these things keep happening, as explained in the opening post...as a cause of the perpetuation of mass murder attacks, it should be put to a stop. I heard something recently: Islamists are snakes in the grass, and moderate Muslims are the grass which hides the snake. I would also add that appeasers and apologists are the fertilizer, making the grass more abundant. This is just my view, and I'm not in power, so it's kind of irrelevant. The thing about discussion boards is that they're for discussion, but sorry to say on this subject that's not really what I'm looking for. Why even make a thread in the first place? The ones who died are worth talking about...it would be shameful to have no mention of it on this forum.

To be clear, I don't suggest a solution of collateral damage in any way. I don't think all Muslims should be rounded up and killed. I do think they need to be closely watched, perhaps banned from entering civilized countries, and prevented from being capable of terrorist attacks if they already live in these countries. But hey, I'm a counter-terrorist extremist.

You might not like it, but if I were the leader of a country right now, talk that tried to make Islamists seem anything less than murderous would be outlawed, and people would be thrown in prison for speaking like that. That's just me...sorry not sorry! Free speech is a nice idea, sounds wonderful...but I think our free speech has gotten us into this mess. Our overly valued variety of opinions has murdered kids now, by proxy. I could care less about the opinions of those who disagree with me on this topic...I'd shut them down if I could in any way. Sorry for thinking this way. I'm glad I can freely speak of it. Democracy is only valuable when citizens are only of above average intelligence...if not, they vote themselves into a hole.

No, I didn't mean it like that. I've just reported things that I've seen, and been involved in some other ways...not a victim. Do I think it will ever be the case that no one on Earth is violent or perverted? No, of course not...but I expect that we remove them when we find them. When it comes to terrorist attacks, 99.9% yes. We're talking about a particular subject here...it's not like I think terrorism is the only problem the world faces.

You really believe that created the ideology of the IS? They're just wanting revenge against the West? Did Islamic terrorism not happen before the invasion of Iraq?

Because our former President consciously allowed it to take root, perhaps even funded it, and we've watched it spread into other countries. Having served in Iraq, I was there to make sure that precise thing didn't happen. I'm angry because they murder innocent people, and some people let them out of self righteous virtue signaling. It's something so easy to put a stop to...just annihilate them. We have the means and manpower. And yet, years have passed, and more lives have been taken. People are still ignorant and try to dissuade us from naming the cause: Islamism. How can someone not be angry about this?

Actually, I've been fairly involved in my private life in that matter. The subject was basically banned from discussion on the forum this past year, so I don't speak of it here. Also, this is a thread about a particular subject...why deviate from it? Make a separate thread. Well, spread awareness, give tips to organizations that work at dismantling it if you see anything, donate to organizations that actually do something about it. Doing such things doesn't feel like enough. I expect the complete removal of perpetrators of child abuse and terrorism from the face of the earth. But please, stick to the subject matter at hand.

So glad that problem is gone now.

I don't understand
