Normally, I don't involve in a discussion if it's out of my interests. Sometimes I leave after halfway through if I lose my interest. Then I don't worry what others discuss about. Probably you can try the same. No one is forced to involve in each and every thread. Just a suggestion. 

while we're OT, can anyone recommend the best diaper for incontinence

definitely yes i am. the main purpose of terrorism is to spread terror and paranoia.
in spreading the news and discussion, you are doing exactly what they want you to do...

That must be by far the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard regarding criticism,discussion, and spreading of information.

What you are doing here is imposing your own criteria on what information is practically calling all information rumour.
If you dont like certain aspects of the discussion, critize those,dont paint it all as rumour.

Information means nothing by itself.It needs discussion and criticism to mean somethin and you just rejected those as means to that end.
Maybe it is people like you who are of the impression that earth is flat since all discussion regarding it's non-flattness must be rumour and these discussions dont belong here anyway?Hows that?

isn't everyone here trying to impose their own critieria...
even the comment you just made...

which obviously you did not read what i said ... i did not say the world is flat...
i said the world is round..
have you taken a look at yourself in the mirror lately???

i said the world is round..

ER is a troll from day one.

Of course, but attacks in Beirut, Damascus or Bagdad are not unexpected. The whole region is an unstable civil war zone.

Paris,London and New York are not known to be at war, an attack there is something new.

Moreover these are truly global cities probably visited by over a billion people have once in their life visited them, studied or worked there.

They are places millions of people around the world dream to move to, places we believe you can live safely and in peace.

More people around the world have some kind of emotional connection to Paris, than to Damascus or large cities in Africa that also have many attacks and violence.

The terrorists know this, an attack there will get them more attention and a lot more money from their supporters than an attack in Beirut.

If we do get monthly attacks in France, it won�t be front page news anymore. That is just the way media works.

Even in the Middle East many people are more shocked about attacks in Paris or London than at home. Especially, if they have sent their children to school or to study there, hoping they have sent them to a safe place.

That's just too bad, but not uncommon for people to consider Middle East and Africa as dangerous and unstable places. Ask yourself, how many attacks were there in Beirut this year and how many in Paris?
There are safer places in the Middle East and Africa than in France. There are no terrorist attacks in let's say Lilongwe or Amman or Muscat or Kigali.

Speaking to people in the field, whether they are Egyptians, Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Israeli or bedouins, all say the same thing, the West doesn't care about our lives. Even Facebook has a double standard here. Sad.

I have family in Amman and Beirut, so for me personally there is an emotional connection if something happens there. But for most people around me there isn�t. It doesn�t mean that only french lives matter. It is just not the same emotional connection.

Imagine you go to attend the funeral of a very dear friend and while you stand by the grave and mourn, somebody walks up to you and complains that you are not showing any emotion to the other person who died and who�se funeral is being held two rows down.

Just because you are grieving for your friend doesn�t mean you have no empathy for other people. But you will feel a deeper loss to someone you are connected to than the rest of the world.

Attacks happen every single day somewhere across the globe. If there was an attack in my town of Cologne, the Sydney opera house would not be lit up in the colours of my city. Nor would I expect it or go on the internet to complain. There is no competition in grief.

If something happens in Asia, Sri Lanka, or Ukraine, it doesn�t affect me as much as London, Paris, Amman, New York or Athens. wherever my family and friends live will have the strongest pull on me. And I don�t see why I should feel guilty for it, I don�t expect the whole world to follow my life in Cologne, either.
