That so sums the BBC up. lol
That could so easily be used as an analogy for everything they do. Not just their news.

My own fault for not checking other sources before I post. What's that weight on my head? A dunce cap.To be fair to the BBC, they weren't the only idiots reporting it, the Telegraph and Daily Mail sites did as did Reddit.

Oh I'm talking about their programming too.
All of the descriptions are hyped as fuck but you watch it and its like the television just turned into a dementor and sucked the life right out of your body.
Just an endless parade of cheap shit.

Apparently a high number of victims were/are Romanian citizens.

President of Syria blames France for the terrorist attack, as expected.

I think what's shocking about this is that it wasn't a group of random politically incorrect cartoonists who were shot and that was it, but a bunch of innocent people.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

It seems to be a revenge attack for the drone attack on "Jihadi John" which was a revenge attack for his beheadings ...... this just goes on and on Sad
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Religion is the most abhorrent form of violence-inspiring tribalism on this planet overall.

Around today at least and even racism inspired killings in the past by the KKK I am pretty sure were highly inspired by the Bible?

Also the sexism to women is largely inspired by religion.

Seriously religion is disgusting. Even if I were a moderate theist I'd rather my "holy book" had never been written because the book that God wrote wouldn't be worth the suffering it has caused and is still causing.

To quote a man from my writing group, I guess Isis doesn't want that caliphate that badly since they keep pissing people off.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Cynical and purely seen from a Western perspective: But wanting to remove Assad at all costs opens a whole new can of wirms. Just the same sort as has been opened in Iraq and Lybia. The known factor has been removed in favor of the unknown risk. In that aspect, Assad isn't entirely wrong.
