Is there any news of possible attacks? I saw a thing on Facebook about ISIS marking London, Washington and Rome as future targets, but y'know, Facebook. Any news on that?

I imagine any details on that are going to be kept hush by intelligent agencies.

They'll step up security, but they don't want mass panic.

Sad thing is everyone will joke about this in a couple years

Okay beforehand I will say that I am no good with politics and world news at all.

What if some of the refugees that came into France were like, ISIS spies or something? There were so many of them it's hard to check them all.


Didn't they even say something along those lines a while ago?



Just a thought, correct me if I'm being retarded.
A Syrian passport was found on the body of one of the hostiles. The reality is that the open borders made it easy for sympathizers, or even actual members of IS, to hide among the refugees.

So it's highly likely that they sneaked in among the refugees then?

IIRC, I believe I read somewhere that (at least) one of the attackers was a French citizen, and that some of the attackers were seen driving cars with a Belgian license plate.

Take it as a grain of salt as to how the attackers got to Paris.

did what it needed to do: End the original trilogy
It failed at that. It left more things open and unanswered than what it finished.

"While laying the grounds for a future title"

They weren't going to make the galaxy totally peaceful with everyone at home clinging a beer. They left strands of story open for a future title - be it Halo 4 or the books.

Halo 5's is still much better, even if it's a bit over the place.

Absolutely not.

What exactly is it about Islam that makes it seem so more prone to violence? I'm only recently starting to consider the possibility that it's actually not just the crazy people, it's part of the doctrine.
It also politicizes itself, which most religions don't do.



My religion and I would like a word with you.

Still a better story than Halo 5.
it really didn't though

halo 5's admittedly wasn't great, but 3's (what little story it even had) was nonsensical tripe

Kinda did.

Halo 5's feels all over the board in terms of what they wanted to do and they went for the lowest common denominator. There was no mystery, no suspense.

Halo 3's, while pretty bad, did what it needed to do: End the original trilogy, lay the grounds for a future title.

ISIS is saying that this is the first in a storm of assaults. Thoughts on that?

I wouldn't be surprised if there are other attempted (or successful) attacks.

They want to draw us into a war. They'll likely succeed in the future.

I see the kneejerk reactionary force is out in full swing today.
People are just responding with emotion, and rightfully so when our castrated western governments refuse to acknowledge the problem that is Islam.

Because emotional arguments are always the best ones.

Or so I'm told.
There's arguing with emotion, and injecting emotion into arguments. Nothing wrong with the former.

Disagree, at least when it is solely an emotional argument. There's a reason you back it up with credibility and facts.

Preliminary report says at least one american, a member of the band, is likely dead.

Waiting on confirmation

Meanwhile, people are using #PorteOuverte to designate places of safety on social media.
Oh yeah sure, broadcast where people are taking refuge in large masses on the internet for everyone to see. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Not places of large gatherings.

People opening their homes up to those stranded in the city, as it's under lockdown and those (Likely many who may have gone in for the game or a concert) may be stuck.

People outside of France are also doing it to help those who may be stuck since flights are being cancelled.

118 from the Bataclan, 40 elsewhere

I'm not sure what has you so confused.

I asked you if you would live in a Muslim country. You said no. Because you'd be killed for being homosexual.

I'd be jailed for life for being gay in Russia. Again, I wouldn't live there. There's a bunch of shitholes in the world that I would choose not to live in for my safety. Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc. being some of them.

Jordan and Tunisia are the only thing close to a maybe.

So why is it you defend these so called "moderates" when they would fucking end your life for no reason?

Cause I have several Muslim friends who aren't calling for my death? There's a Muslim guy in my workplace that I discuss the news with, not him preparing to stone me?

There are plenty of normal Muslims who want nothing to do with terrorism, jihadism, and all of the negatives to Islam. And I'm not going to have this discussion for a third time.

If the attacks in Paris, Egypt and Lebanon were all directed by ISIS Central, it represents a major shift in its global strategy considering up until now it's only been focusing on local areas in the Levant.

Curious if the news regarding Jihadi John prompted this.

I have a question.

Would any of you go live in a Muslim country?

No.
Then no offense

But shut the fuck up and stop defending these animals that are stuck in the dark ages.

Mexico and Russia are irrelevant.

I didn't ask you if you would go live in a politically unstable, corrupt, poor, and dangerous country.

I asked you if you would live in a Muslim country.

No - you're asking if I would live in a politically unstable, corrupt, poor, dangerous country that would likely lynch me for sleeping with a man, drinking booze, or not praying..

The only difference between that description and Russia is that the latter loves their vodka, and I'd be jailed - not lynched.
