  1. I don't think anybody is upset over it, more like "not seeing the reason to be upset at people who don't care about it". Oh plenty are, seeing a lot of hand wringing over Arab lives don't matter or African lives don't matter. Not sure they give a crap about European lives so it is amusing. Not caring about it is fine, different from boo'ing or whatever else that is not indifference. But Turkish football fans are little better than savages in the stadium (like every set I guess), so is a minor snub.
  2. Weird to end with that when we're talking about coverage not editorializing, but I guess that is to be expected, heh. Not seeing the reason to be upset at Paris winning the tragedy olympics, plenty of reasons people rate it higher.
  3. People did mourn for Russia, people left flowers at the consulate here. But Kenya and Lebanon are places where people rightly or wrongly see violence as the background. Beirut was a synonym with a warzone not long ago. Paris also had heavy media coverage due to the place it took place, nastiness of it (similar to the Mumbai attacks in terms of coverage) and social media. I doubt Lebanese or Kenyans or Iraqis really give much of a crap when Westerners die. Besides, if there is an outpouring of grief for anyone that dies en masse, fatigue or some mental trauma is inevitable
  4. And now 2 dead, not the police and a standoff with some people in a home. Apparently this is the lead planner of Friday's attacks.
  5. Collected leaves, then noticed the wind blew a whole bunch back in front of our house. However, they are in a neat pile, so I suspect this was done by someone. Can't fix it for now, our bottom step is gone - concrete guys coming by to fix it. Given my neighbours, I expect someone to complain about the noise
  6. Heh, yeah... http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/video-surfaces-making-threats-against-muslims-in-quebec As for the Turkish fans booing that, eh, I guess they think Europeans dislike them and didn't care when a bunch of them got blown up a while ago.
  7. Hm, and now a lady in Toronto got punched a couple of times and called a terrorist by two guys. Canadians are so shocked by this, it's kind of funny.
  8. Euro 2016 is going to be fun.
  9. The West are the people with the guns and money, that'd be my guess why
  10. Wow, this thread has certainly gone places. Go figure it's one I made
  11. Dumb move, in my mind.
  12. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/16/canadian-pictured-as-paris-terrorist-in-suspected-gamergate-smear Jubbal's tweets do make him punchable, but no jihadi.
  13. Yeah, that is pretty scummy to do. Press need to be a tad more responsible, as well, as that is one sketchy PS job.n
  14. Works for the ISIS parody there. Meanwhile in Canada, a mosque was set on fire - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/mosque-peterborough-fire-1.3320013
  15. Hm, had always thought they didn't mind the mosques that produced radicals as they were good bait to draw people who could then be watched.
  16. Yep, hadn't heard that term before - sounds like someone tossing you in a ditch. My job wasn't that bad, but had gotten super crappy of late, Management had a 'Vision' at sometime and I guess that's when things changed. But yes, will have to find something interesting or at least not as abhorrent.
  17. Was reported in here, nothing too much other than just reporting on the two bombs and the death toll. Also had some Lebanese woman call for earthquakes to hit Saudi Arabia and the US for some reason. Paris wins the tragedy Olympics playing now, sorry.
  18. Even better for West then, I guess. Apparently, a lot of people are annoyed that this got more attention than Beirut being bombed. Arab lives don't matter, etc. Heh.
  19. Heh, wonder what will happen with Kadyrov if Putin is gone. And really, that is what the West wants.
  20. She really got the short end of the stick, didn't she. It's almost painful to see such an amazing character get wasted like that, first in HotS, now here. I dunno, compared to her character in WoL ahe has been vasty improved! She even told a Protoss she had no beef vs Kaldir. Figured she would get off from murdering billions.
  21. Yep, got burned that way. Tried for roaming Banshees but forgot no AA there so wasn't a stunner. Lancie was good, even if Alarak was a bit too edgy at times. All in all, was ok. Epilogue was some BS, but I did feel a bit down that the saga is done. Metzen still sucks, though
  22. Please tell me more what would happen in my own country, because i obviously don't know anything about it. If you think that Chechnya achieving independence under the guise of Islamic liberation would have had no effect on other homogenous islamic regions then you have no idea how politics work, and those principles apply not only to Russia, but anywhere else. At a basic level you don't let sections of your country secede whatever their identity is. Sets a bad example.
  23. Well, could be because some other Islamists want them dead just due to differing flavours. I figure the worst we'll get will be fundamentalist types like Westboro, irritating and noisy but not too harmful. Also - http://qz.com/550365/belgian-home-affairs-minister-says-isil-communicates-over-playstation-4/ Time to ban all consoles.
  24. Where is the Big E when we need him
  25. Getting involved in these Arabs' civil wars is turning out to make things messier than before.
