another islamist rat beheads a roman catholic priest today in france.

people will not keep sitting back and taking this, they cannot even the lunatic leftwing liberals.

i fear for my childrens future ( years now )

am im alone ?

will answerbank mods bow again and keep removing these posts ? as in the post a few days ago regarding the german attacks within the last week .

im angry , i know this is not a platform, i want to shout about political correctness but cannot in fear of getting banned from AB but then again i,ll just make up another profile.

Last I heard he'd had his throat cut, didn't know he'd been beheaded.

[RetroChic2]

the priest was made to kneel down and one of the Terrorists beheaded him with a knife and they filmed it ( according to reports on the BBC )

[Jackdaw33]

Correct, Baldric, not that it makes any difference.

[Jackdaw33]

Latest report on the BBC website just says they slit his throat.

[RetroChic2]

I got that info from the BBC World News on the TV. Not like them to exaggerate.

I've truly despaired at the news in the last 7 days. My sister lives in France and my dad lives in Germany x

I tuned into that thread about the world going to pot, since Bowie died, when it had only 5 posts in it but was too tired to draft a reply. Revisited the tab just now but got "Couldn't retrieve that thread", so it must have gone downhill really quickly. Seemed harmless at the time so there's no knowing what topics will end in deletion. Perhaps a named celebrity attracts search engine results and AB doesn't want first-time visitors to get a bad impression of the place?

[Neveracrossword]

Hypognosis, the OP wanted that thread (David B) removed - and apologised for its existence.

[Zacs-Master]

Why is this ill informed rant still on here?

[Jackdaw33]

Because it hasn't broken any Site Rules.

[stuey]

I'm quite sure that the priest is relieved to know that he didn't lose his head over this "incident": He merely had his throat slit...Much better, right?

[Zacs-Master]

Apart from this one:
Treat others as you would like to be treated and respect other people’s opinions. Discussions can get passionate but users should moderate their language and refrain from personal attacks and profanity. We encourage lively debate but name calling, harassment or abuse will not be tolerated.

[Jackdaw33]

The only abuse has been directed at the OP. The abusers' threads might be removed, but not the thread itself.

[naomi24]

You're right to be angry and no, you are not alone. This barbaric act was beyond despicable. Ignore the smart-*** comments. They have no place here.

[Zacs-Master]

The OP has called someone a childish idiot in one answer and an idiot in another. The general tone is unnecessarily aggressive from the off.

[Mamyalynne]

I think fear and anger can bubble over and make people post in a way that seems antagonistic - of course passions are high and we all worry for those we love and despair at the horrors of murders such as today. However falling out amongst ourselves won't make for a reasoned discussion.


There will have been a reason a thread went, maybe not one all agree with but a reason all the same.

[Baldric]

Could the post at 2235 be the reason Mamya?

[Zacs-Master]

'Seems antagonistic'? Calling someone joining in the debate a childish idiot doesn't make for a reasoned discussion.

[Mamyalynne]

It could and most likely was , thank you - I missed that post.
