All reports indicate that this attack was months in the planning, this did not come from the recent influx of refugees. American intelligence agencies have voiced concerns over the fact that ISIS is using an encrypted form of communication recently developed by private App developers who have stated that they couldn't help in deciphering the encrypted messages, because that's what it's meant to do -
be undecipherable.

Oh, the irony. Modern technology........shit storm!

I see Donald Trump as another winner from this fiasco.

I'll tell you what SHINYGOODGUY, I look at what is written in religious writings and do not see the wisdom of the universe. I see nothing beyond the understandings of man a thousand years ago. It is plain to see the concepts are mans and limited to our cognitive development as of then. The way these holly books content is explained has improved, but the viciousness, hatred and pettiness in many passages has not changed. The lack of understanding of the Human Condition is front and center. It is all based on basics. What they are, are a lot of passages, (stories and fables) depicting what is known to be good about man and what is know or thought to be bad.

Question SHINYGOODGUY? DO you think the pastor and other gay haters realize that if he and they are to be believed, god creating or let the LGBT community evolve with a death sentence at birth, would make god a sadist? Because being gay in not a choice but instead something in the chemical makeup up the person.

The way I see it, religions are made of several parts and have several purposes:

They are the explanation of the world the way it is: How it was created, what the various forces mean. Most of the larger religions have some sort of creation myth attached to them, from the Sumerians to today, and even the smaller religions have explanations for lightning and illness and other events that weren't understood by primitive societies. THIS part of religion is an attempt to gain control of uncontrollable, unseeable, unpredictable forces, by appeasing the gods or removing evil spirits. THIS portion of religion is being taken over by science, which attempts to understand and control the natural world.

They have some sort of definition of "good" and "evil" attached to them. They serve as a moral/ ethical foundation of society, to make sure that everyone is fulfilling their role. Usually, the definition of "good" and "evil" is hijacked by TPTB to protect themselves and extend their reign (think human sacrifice and Mayan rulers) and typically has some "supernatural" connection, such as the various kings/emperors/pharaohs being part of an supernatural connection to the otherworld which keeps things stable.

Religions also have "gods" attached to them: supernatural beings, evil spirits, etc.

An explanation of the world, without the element of the supernatural, is called science.

A system of right and wrong, without the element of the supernatural, is called ethics. Whee you attach it to a standard set of rules its called "law".

It's only when you start appealing to forces which you can't either demonstrate or disprove does this system become "religion".

IMHO, the underlying drive of religion is the need to predict and control- either to predict and control the rain, disease, lightening etc ... or to control people. Science has done an excellent job of taking over the first function, but we have yet to truly understand OURSELVES. And so we wind up creating most of our own problems.

Exactly. While jihadists have their Allah, the western world has it's "invisible hand" (See? A supernatural being that you can't demonstrate!) and "market forces" (another supernatural entity!) which they believe are the proper foundation for all of society, and all societies everywhere. Belief in market forces has led to the death and misery of billions of people around the world. Religions which have been captured by TPTB really are the same world over, aren't they?

Of course it was planned! That was the very first thing I said to my coworkers. You don't just form a suicide group, run out and buy AK-47's, build a bomb and hatch targets, jobs and timetables on the spur of the moment! Hey, I know what we could do tonight!

Sheesh!!

BUT the principal remains the same. If you have a VERY disaffected subpopulation (and the riots happened for a reason) a certain percentage will be radicalized. You can't tell them to trust the system, because the system IS their problem, and it's very obviously not self-correcting. And it almost doesn't matter what the rationale is. So these people are an easy target for any cause that tells them to attack the system, whether it's anarchy, justice, Islam or whatever. All you need to add after providing the cause is money, contacts and knowledge. And that comes from elsewhere. From people who are already in the business.






SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

I gess there are sum steps that need to be explained.

Think uv sivilization az a co-operativ system thats suppose to benefit all the partisipants. Everybody duz their job and the rewardz get distributed more or less equally, perhaps modified to account for the actual effort sumwun puts in. Cant hav slackerz freeloading on everybody elsez work.

Money iz an invention intended to make the system work better. It de-complicates tranzactionz, gets around the bulk problem, speedz negotiationz and jenerally works like oil in a machine.

Unfortunately, that eazy flow karakteristic also makes it eazy to steal. Huje amounts uv welth can be extrakted from larj groups uv peepl just by leverajing their lack uv money. You can get poor peepl to do almost anything for next to nothing. A parent with 5 starving children will be forsed to admit that its better to sell the baby girl for 1,000$ than to let all 5 starv to deth. In Cambodia, the 1,000$ iz a fortune that will feed the remaining family for a yir and the littl girl will be fed also.

Wut the parent duznt hav the lojik or info to realize iz that they are poor bekuz the same fat old bastard who iz buying the girl haz been plundering the entire area uv its resoursez for decadez. He iz basicly paying for her with the parent's own money.

Its really the same everywhere, even if it seemz 'equitable' - welth iz being jenerated, but most peeps are not getting a fair share. Wherever you see banks thriving and peepl borrowing, its bekuz the system iz not working az it shoud. Work iz not rewarded. Money gravitates to money faster and faster so everybody haz to work harder and harder for less and less.
