Saw this gem on my FB feed, the worst article I've read yet about the germanwings crash.
White people can't be terrorists. We've been told this for years. Not directly, perhaps, but when a white person bombs a church or massacres a school or flies a plane carrying 150 people into a mountainside, killing everyone on board, it's hard to…
Cliffs everyone's trying really Hard not to call the germanwings pilot a terrorist because he's white. Written by a guy called zakLast edited by Guest; 01-04-15, 21:17.

SPOILERTime travel will either knock this out of the park or ruin the show when/if timelines change. It also may extend the show's life. Mark Hamill was amazing as the Trickster. I am your father"you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

However once you accept that you move on and enjoy the ride. Also Flash overlaps with Arrow as part of the same universe, its kicking Arrow's arse imo. Give it another run, it gets a hell of a lot better.

Had a lot of BBV to catch up on.
Re Mc Gregor Aldo, the more I watch the embedded the more I love Aldo, he such a cool cunt.
Its still all about Mc Gregor doh, love him or hate him he is entertaining as fuck.
It's a pity the drool that attended the Q&A but meh gotta laugh.
Highlight of the Q and A was with the other Irish talent, cool to hear their view on things. Had a bit of banter with some of them after too and they are all confirmed sound.
Really looking forward to seeing more of Joe Duffy.

The very idea that someone's religion could be the primary reason why they are such horrible cunts is completely unfathomable to them, so they have to cry about Islamophobia like as if it's just a coincidence that the average modern terrorist is nearly always acting in the name of one particular faith.

I would not say that the number of suicide bombers is the sole or a particularly accurate metric to measure terrorism. Many more people are terrified of Isis than the Tigers. Isis and Al Qaeda are purely religion based.

Economic wealth is a product of Power & Control.

Originally posted by Kim Huybrechts View PostAlso how can they replace Harrison Wells and just move on, he's the show, not Barry AllenSPOILERThis is another major problem. Especially after last nights episode. You soon realize Wells is already dead and not just an assumed identity. Possible time travel hijinks, maybe Flash travels back to his mother's death (again) and sets the timeline on a new course. Remember Cisco and the Police captain were already killed - This is what could extend the series' life or completely fuck the whole thing up. Mark Hamill was brilliant in the last episode, I'd love to see him on it again.

'Using' a religion to do either or both isn't beyond the realms of imagination, given that we see it all the time.

People have been using religion as an reason to kill each other for power and economics since the first person said the sun is great so perhaps the guys in charge know better and understand that they are using religion to recruit for a personal power trip but who knows.
For home grown uprising and rebellion economics, suppression of education or lack of representation in govt cause more people to join but in terms of setting up a global terror network religion is your man. Trying to convince people to travel around the world to fight, kill and die because people are poor as fuck is a tough sell.
I would say that I think that what Isis are doing is a big distance from the struggle for economic parity in work that a lot of people initially joined the ira for, the bloody removal of the tsars which I am sure was considered socialist terrorism by the rest of the world or the U.S. revolution which I am sure was seen as a greedy land grab.
Isis is much closer to the persecution of early Christians or the medieval crusades. Both were greed disguised as religion but it was religion that made it acceptable and got the numbers involved.
It may be in pc to say that there are big ties to Islam and terrorism but Al Qaeda and Isis are made up of Muslims. Do Muslims make up all terrorists in the world than no but the recruitment link is well documented and there.
Again just because they don't do the most suicide bombings does no mean that they don't have the numbers.

HJ would appear to be highly incorrect in his assertation. Islamic groups are responsible for the vast majority of such attacks."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
