Happy Sunrise Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I feel angry. The perpetrator should never see the light of day again and it shouldn't be in this country either. Edited March 15, 2019 by Happy Sunrise 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Thoughts for my uni town no matter what race or creed. Unfortunately I've been shown the video and it is horrible. Please don't post on BOAY. Please respect the many families that are grieving. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Sunrise Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 With the number of deaths (from the first video alone) it is going to be as the Prime Minister said, one of the darkest days in NZ history. No one needs to put the video up as the Chief says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Horrible indeed and there are nutters and radicalists In every country! Tragedy and things are going to be different for awhile, including airport security and other public functions tighter security! Problem is that multiculturalism is a major problem worldwide and needs addressing! Wont go into details here but we all know that governments have a lot to do with the problems that are occurring worldwide and not just ChCh today!

Radicalism is rampant throughout the world. Religion has a helluva lot to answer to! There are attacks from Muslims throughout the world continuously, and as we know people are radicalised and turn to Muslim and fight for their cause whatever that is! There are people around the world that are rebelling against that, and if you read the main perpetrators manifesto, you will get a better picture of how some people are thinking! It was a disgusting cowardly act by a small group but is not just contained to Christchurch but worldwide! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right Brodie, These people are clearly nutters and have just reached the same low level as Islamic fundamentalists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be interesting to see if these terrorists today are Christian terrorists? You need to drop the Muslim bit. No religion promotes violence it is just the radical losers who hijack the peaceful religions of billions of others for their own self serving needs. Just scum, the only thing they represent is their own fucked up little selves no matter what part of the planet they come from. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Australian girl went over to be an Islamic bride now wants to return to Oz! There are so many weak minded people worldwide that do become brainwashed! Most terrorist acts are committed on innocent victims unfortunately! Problem as I say is this multiculturalism that is occurring worldwide nowadays, that is causing the problems, you only need to talk to people from many countries from overseas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they are scum Happy, but you will obviously say the same thing about the Muslim terrorists worldwide that are committing atrocities everyday! It was an attack on Muslims whether you like it or not! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect, I don't think multiculturalism is the correct word to use. Multiculturalism is enlivening to a society. However, when people lose their tradition, culture and identity due to factors like globalisation which can promote economic and social disruption to a society it breeds intolerance. Hence, I think intolerance is a better word to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when people lose their tradition, culture and identity due to factors like globalisation which can promote economic and social disruption to a society it breeds intolerance. Hence, I think intolerance is a better word to use. Multiculturalism has occurred hugely in many countries around the world, and creates communities with diverse ideologies and tolerances! We have travelled to quite a few countries over the last few years and almost everyone we have spoken to have the same opinion as each other. We have been onland and at sea and there is a swell of opinion that is not conducive to people living in harmony Happy! There are good and bad people in all countries obviously, but with the internet nowadays it is so easily educated or brainwashed by what is appearing on there. If someone is not happy with there life, they are often looking to change things and unfortunately and weak minded people at the time, can be easily radicalised and are promised to become a martyr! You can call it intolerance or what you want, but the reality is that we clearly live in troubled times and the tragedy today highlights that unfortunately. We have no control over what any nutter is going to do at any time! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiculturalism is enlivening to a society. Either Brodie doesn't understand what multiculturalism is or he's revealing his true colours. Sadly, from the way he keeps digging himself in, it seems more likely to be the latter. Basically, he appears to want to be completely segregated from everyone who isn't exactly like himself. And that two wrongs make a right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It enables you to talk to people about what is going on around the world, and receive opinions from people from other countries ! Not going to bite to your stirring nature at this time Basil, as it is not worth it due to what has occurred in ChCh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
