"This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can."
-- Capt. Copeland
They're only empty to you because nobody wants to do anything about it. Attack society and we can start making real progress. Passing bills, ordering airstrikes, protesting in the capital of cities or having political debates do absolutely nothing but add to the problem.
We have the power to do something about it, we can really do something that'll benefit all of us. You act like I have the power to suddenly magic all of this up, I'm bringing up suggestions and you're telling me that it's all pointless. It's easy, stop using the tools of society to solve your problems and you might find that your problems actually start going away.
Sounds like a morality/ethics issue baked into tribalism. What does this solve exactly if we stop gays from being chucked off rooftops, the enslavement of non-Muslims and the rape of them? In the short-term, yeah, less people would suffer.
Long-term? Absolutely nothing. It's a vicious circle, it goes round and round again and nothing ever changes. I bet the English crusaders thought they were being innovative and creative when they went to kill all the Muslims invading their holy place. I bet they thought they'd never have to fight another war again after they were all dead and done.
All this does is adds more fuel to the fire.

Attacking society means changing society at the core, remove currency, religion, culture and governments. Replace them with an erudite based core.
Stop using the tools of society to solve your problems means stop using laws, politics, imprisonment, war, debates and so on. Basically stop doing what we've been doing all this time to "stop" bad things from happening. You want a complete halt? Pull the plug, just stop the vicious circle and break it completely.
I've already explained how we can do that.
SAS?
What the fuck? The british are in Syria?
It's not as simple as that, we don't just remove it and leave a void of chaos in its absence.
This is gradual.
We match up our society's mindset with the level of technology we have as it progresses. Over the next couple of centuries, this isn't going to happen in this lifetime or the next three. So for example, we have machine automation taking up all the jobs and eventually, we won't have jobs anymore and thus no income. This century is the perfect moment to introduce the first step, by introducing the early stages of UBI into the populace and introducing programs into schools to gradually shift the mindset of children from this and the next couple of generations towards a jobless future. Not only that but an erudite/creative outlook on life, we will have a new purpose and that is to learn, create, innovate and explore.
If anything, this job automation thing is actually the perfect "spark" we've all been waiting for to begin our journey towards a post-scarcity world. If we do this, it'll get rid of all the other problems by itself without us ever having to lift a finger. Just change the way people think by raising them differently and people will simply just not do those things anymore.
Of course, none of it is as simple as I explained, but it's a start. This "hero" that killed 30 people isn't the solution to our problems, it's quite literally the opposite.
You had a full what, 20 sec to realize how stupid you are before hitting that post button...guess you needed longer.

So who radicalized you?

They are 30 people with 30 different life stories and hundreds of extended family members. All that you know is that at one point they were radicalized and did something incredibly stupid.
Motherfuckers seem to forget that Israel handed the surrounding enemy countries' asses to them AT THE SAME TIME a few decades ago. This conflict is basically Israel in the ring, blindfolded, one hand tied behind their back, with a 16oz glove on the other hand. They better learn some history quickly if they know what's good for them.
Oh i dunno, watching my fellow countrymen get shot at a jewish museum, or blown up at the airport, or my neighbouring country having people gunned down in the tram, or my german friends who watched their people get mown over by a truck , or a van in the uk... you know all those little things add up.
Combine that with the coke crime and gun / grenade crimes, the visa abuse etc.
So now every time i read about belgian isis combatants getting the death penalty in Iraq, or afew dozen of those dirty rats getting torn to pieces by a single soldier... it kinda puts a smile on my face.
Let's face it these are heinous little cowards, and the world is a better place without any of them in it.

Get this man a parade and beer for all his family and friends, well earned.
the one arm they do have free is nuclear though. the days where Palestine and the surrounding Arab nations could conceivable snuff out Israel are long gone. to be brutally honest Israel should just finish the job and take the lot and have done with it. we all know thats where it will eventually end up any way and it's a war that Isreal has been preparing for since the last ceasefire.
what a mack, was his name Soap by chance?
i did seriously consider military service, but my mom hated the idea. and i was a mama's boy. i sometimes wonder if i would be alive today if i had joined (would have joined in 2006). sometimes i regret it because i feel like i thrive on a team, but then i don't because i've been allowed so much because of others that have served. so i stop thinking about myself and i think of my friends that served or are serving.
No sense crying over spilt beer, unless you're drunk...
This thread is a good example of how people would rather go for each others' throats than have peace. You guys can't even have a civil discussion without insulting each other so how is the world supposed to ever find peace? Maybe the military and ISIS aren't the real problem. Maybe it's just human nature to be shitty.
