    It makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

    It really makes me angry that our president was the one who let the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, go back in 2009.

    Well, it kind of is with the different gangs we have, but it's not religiously "justified" like ISIS claims their killings are.

    I feel like I have the same fear my dad have about the reds bombing us, only with these different terrorist organizations.

    Re: Post Race!

    I don't think you have to worry about the sort of execution killings you describe coming to the US in the foreseeable future but it's horrible that it happens anywhere in the world.

    I grew up in Nigeria (as an ex-pat) and this stuff used to happen all the time. It wasn't just the terrorists either. I once saw police gun down a guy in the street for nothing more than crossing the road abpout 100 yards up from their checkpoint. They shot him several times at a distance then advanced on him and shot him in the head. The police used to carry bull whips. Stop and ask yourself, for a second, exactly how a bull whip would be used to subdue an assailant - the image is not a pleasant one.

    The worst time was in the lead up to elections. Nigeria is essentially a collection of tribes who've spent most of their history killing each other and selling each other into slavery - they hate each other. In an election each tribe would put up a candidate and the most effective way of ensuring your candidate won was to make sure nobody voted for the other guys - can you guess how they did that? Add the fact that the North is Muslim and the South Christian and you've got a complete powderkeg.

    I am hugely grateful I live in the UK. For us the fear of terrorism is remote and only gets close very, very rarely. In some parts of the world it's a daily concern.

    Re: Post Race!

    I've really been struggling the past couple of days because it's hard for me to comprehend that some people have that constant fear 24/7. I just can't understand how somebody could justify any of those killings that I saw, it's like street justice almost, and I know that it won't stop.

    We just found out that my brother has a brain tumor, or at least one doctor may think that he has one.

    Great! Glad to hear it is a non-tumor.

    Odd, the bold, italic, and underline simply make the [CODE][/CODE] disappear.
