What's the solution?
There's basically two outcomes here...we either make peace or we kill them all. And it doesn't seem like peace even has a chance.

This thread is pointless as it doesn't discuss anything not in other threads. I can see this going off on tangents every time some nutbar goes off.
World is not ending. Neither is Europe. In fact, if our parents had the access to the same mass media as we do now, they would have thought the world was ending in the 70s. Charted: Terror attacks in Western Europe from the 1970s to now ? Quartz Quote: |
Between 1970 and 1994, however, terrorist attacks in Europe were much more common. From Northern Ireland’s Irish Republican Army (IRA) to Spain’s Basque separatist group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) to Italy’s Anni di Piombo (Years of Lead), extremist political groups organized bombings in each of those countries, meaning terrorism in Europe as local phenomenon was perhaps just as ominous as the current threat posed by the Islamic State.

I thought the world was ending in the sixties.
But, we had Woodstock and free sex, so it wasn't all that bad. It was groovy, man.

Greed and financial manipulation is doing more damage than religion is in present times.

I'm older than you and I know about them. Then again, my kids are older, so I know because of them. Plus, I'm a bit of a Nintendo aficionado. I have just about every one of their game consoles and handhelds. I can start a mini Nintendo museum, LOL. And the amount of games. Collectors items, complete with original boxes and instructions. Then, the Nintendo Power publications. The original Earthbound with box and instructions in mint condition. Weird games like The Boy and His Blob. I played these games more than the kids did.

It's easy to pound a rebel group into oblivion that has a clear military chain of command and base of operations.
Same happened with the defeat of the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.
Completely different and nigh impossible to defeat lone wolf operations with a military response, unless we're talking internment camps/genocide.

I have an original gold Zelda, too. Not so nice condition.
