Another terrorist kills people in London

[vladimirhf]

Terrorists invade Somalia in 1992. This episode is better known as "Operation Restore Hope"







The hope was restored as you see. Now tell me what these heroes deserve?  ̶#̶s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶o̶u̶r̶t̶r̶o̶o̶p̶s̶

Something about knife attacks makes it feel more evil. To be able to stick a knife into someone, I can't explain it, just makes it more psychopathic. Though I believe the citizens should be allowed to own guns, there would probably had been more victims if the terrorist was able to get a hold of guns.

evil people use knives, good people do this:

I'm guessing this is a drone attack, well this is the perfect time to say that drone attacks have been argued to be one of the most humane methods of warfare. May not seem true at first glance, but I think it's much better for both sides to be able to blow up one spot in particular at a particular time with little to no chance of missing the mark. WAIT A SECOND BEFORE YOU SPAM ME WITH LINKS ABOUT INNOCENT PEOPLE DYING IN THESE ATTACKS -- Yes, there are issues with drones as well. But what's better, carpet bombing cities to take out one terrorist or killing a few with precision.

Only noticing this now from a week ago.

But what would you rather have. A place being carpet bombed and hundreds of people dying or a few innocent casualties from a drone strike? Yes all of us want 0, and that's the intention every day. I think drones do actually lower this number closer and closer to zero. We're also saying that we don't need to send US boots on the ground in as many areas as we had to.

maybe they don't need the "good people help". maybe the "good ones" could take care of their own country.

It's scary to think about it but imagine if we have really small drones that can target individuals. Remember the first Ant-man movie? Something that small that's equipped with a toxin syringe. Send in a swarm to make sure at least one hits the target. That should reduce civilian casualty provided the drones can accurately identify and tag their target.

The scariest is when people discuss technical aspects of a war but avoid discussing the motivations. Society of psychos.

How to reduce population...

Take the guns away from the citizens so that the terrorists can reduce the population for you. And by all means, get the terrorists to attack in areas that have the most of your political opponents.

well but the numbers of US mass shootings show something different...

I tend to have a pessimistic view of human nature. People have always went to war and even outside that, continue to kill each other. Nations will always find reasons to quarrel and some of those will result in armed conflicts.

Having the option to do that in a "less" messy manner can only be a positive since it'll reduce the number of people hurt in the crossfire. I'd rather have countries dropping microbots on each other instead of nukes.

Sorry to have to contradict the voices in your head, but...

All that mass shootings in the US show is that, lack of guns among the citizenry makes them targets of terrorists. After all, it is the gun free zones where most of the shootings occur. And it is often standard citizens with guns that repel terrorist shooters.

Thank you for warning us about yourself. Since you have gone this far, why don't you go the rest of the way, and turn yourself in to the police for psychic evaluation.

 

[Negotiation]

The horrible thing is that it's 21st century and people still kill each other because of their religious beliefs. Humankind is lame.

I agree with you because of this religious belief that humankind is in great shape Because of this conflicts arise and people are reluctant to kill. People treat people inhumanely I think people are killing more because of this religion.

[Sadlife]

This proves how religion corrupts the human brain and removes the ability of humans to think rationally. They will do anything all in the name of their beloved god without having second thoughts of killing a fellow human being, because according to their teachings if they kill infidels or die in the name of their god, they will be rewarded in heaven. That's why the world is really messed up because of this organize religion and the people created them.

You should watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAJfyDTTHE4

It shows the world where micro machines are used to pollinate flowers. They were design as automated robots but of course the government wanted a piece of the tech so they modified them to spy on people. There's more to the story and it actually ends with a tragedy, but I won't spoil it for you

Fun fact, they managed to make a real flying bee drone this year. Future may come sooner than we think.

[audaciousbeing]

Its unfortunate that in the 21st century some people still believes that the way to settle a score irrespective of the reason and the annoying thing is the innocent person who does not care about what the government or the political class are doing will be the victim of such hate crime. Yes some people might want to give it a religious coloration which makes it further irritating to me because a lot of perpetrators of these forgot the fact that they were human first before they knew whether they would follow a particular religion or the other.

Very few religions promote violent behavior as an aggressive action. Almost all religions promote peace. Generally the person who acknowledges a certain formal religion, but goes against what that religions says, is simply a liar about the religion that he acknowledges. So, it is not the religion that is corrupting him. Rather, it is his own selfish self that is corrupting him.

It's very good that guns are not easily and readily available for the people in England unlike the USA because if it was, these Islamic radicals are going to have a field day since they will be easily kill lots of people with a gun than with a knife,  this is one of the reasons why the people voted to get out of the European Union so that they have total control on their immigration policies determining who's able to enter their country.

maybe only the ones in countries under systematic perpetual bombing? I wonder how you would behave growing up under bombing. it's not religious it's political. it's amazing how naive some people are. religion plays a motivational role for the masses, people cling to faith in the chaos, but it's not the reason.

That's right. The bombing is political, and in the case of the countries being bombed, the religion is political.
