    Another mass violent attack. We will never know what motivated the killer. I am sure we can find something to ban to prevent future attacks like this from happening.

    9/11: Saudi's fault
    Orlando: Lack of gun control
    San Bernardo: Lack of gun control
    Boston Marathon: Angry kids with pressure cookers

    If we can only find the common denominator.

    What a horrible tragedy. I find it slightly sad that when an incident like this happens, pretty much everyone here will agree that it was horrible, tragic and that the extremism these terrorists follow and use as motivation is horrible, you don't focus on what we can do stop the problem, or tragedy involved with the loss of life at the hand of a terrorist, but instead try and use this tragedy as a way to pick a fight and argue people.

    I think everyone agrees that it's horrible, as are those that carried out the attack.

    It's very convenient how you select those 4 examples. I'm surprised you didn't throw Fort Hood in there.

    And yeah, I repeat the other poster, how about stop being a cryptic ******* and say what you really mean? As in, "if they do it in the name of Islam, then of course we ban Muslims. But if some crazy white ****er shoots up a school full of children, well, sorry, nothing we can do about that."

    I can't believe the news today
    Oh, I can't close my eyes
    And make it go away
    How long...
    How long must we sing this song
    How long, how long...
    'cause tonight...we can be as one
    Tonight...

    Broken bottles under children's feet
    Bodies strewn across the dead end street
    But I won't heed the battle call
    It puts my back up
    Puts my back up against the wall

    Sunday, Bloody Sunday
    Sunday, Bloody Sunday
    Sunday, Bloody Sunday

    We live in a much smaller more connected world

    That includes the negatives

    You are right. The UK is very unfamiliar with bombings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...e_Northern_Ireland_Troubles_and_peace_process

    That being said This is terrible. The extremists must be stopped. So I have a question for the OP. Do you have an idea how to do that? Should we kill every Muslim? Ban the religion (and how would you do that)? Let victims of war rot in their own country (I refuse to give up my humanity because of fear for some idiots)?

    I do not think anybody disagrees with that these terrorists are a problem, the thing we disagree with is how to react to them.

    Not very peaceful. They kill people for their religion. There is no denying that.

    They meaning the terrorist or all Muslims? I'm Muslim and I've never killed anyone.

    Regardless, carry on. This is a ****ed up world we live in where a bunch of assholes think allah wants them to kill innocent children. And others want to lump people like me with these group of assholes.

    Are liberals who oppose travel bans and promote open borders without blame?

    So Trump's Muslim ban would have stopped this?

    Are conservatives who oppose gun control without blame for mass shootings?
