<_< the fuckin what?
The most German thing I ever read
Religious chip-tune artist, I assume.
Chip tune prayer call remix could be amazing
Yeah and the leftists want that, cos calling out Islamists is apparently racist or some BS
Fuck off with your strawman arguments
As a leftist, I seek anyone's right to practice their faith or lack thereof freely and safely, yours, his, satan's, doesn't matter.
I can condemn a murderous act without condemning an entire culture for the acts of one person, no more than I'd demonize every white person for Trump fucking kids or every Israeli for Benny's love of bombing hospitals.
Ah another mentally ill / religious nonce
Could we not murder eachother for a second?
Islamic extremism says no.
Well, there's 8 billion people, and now you have the ability to instantly learn about of any of those 8 billion people do anything wrong.
There's still 7,999,999,xxx that didn't intentionally drive into a crowd and stab people.
Other things that most likely happened yesterday, but nobody told you. Hundreds of millions of people who just went on a first date. Billions who sat down for a meal with people they loved and smiled. Billions who saw a neighbor they've never talked to, but still enjoy that they see them most days. Millions that went to a local festival and saw their town enjoy a community event.
You sayin' 2% of the population just went on a first date?
Does is change the fact that people are still killing people for no reason?
Sounds like he had a reason. I consider it an awful one, but it seems he didn't.
Does it change the fact that people are still killing people for no good reason?
Yeah, see, the issue with the initial post was the "reason" part. You're doing the same thing. Clearly he felt he had a good enough reason to kill people. It doesn't matter if you feel you have a reason or even a good reason to kill people.
There's no objective truth to having a good reason to kill people. It's entirely up to each individual what they consider a good reason. And it doesn't matter if you say no reason is a good enough reason, because it's up to each individual deciding, not you for everyone.
Sort of part of belonging to a species with individual personalities and no all encompassing hive mind.
So we've moved into "what is the good" territory, eh Glaucon?
I believe there is an objective good, and that people killing in these types of scenarios are not doing it for a good reason, objectively.
We can leave it there, then.
Apparently nope.
I'd be happy if we just acknowledged your body belongs to you and no one else, and what you do with it (alone or with another consenting adult[s]), is none of my business or anyone else's (except maybe that other consenting adult[s]).
today I agree, but just wait until people start getting cybernetic implants, like ones that can record video and audio
Well, excepting if you use your body to drive a car through a bunch of people.
as I said, consenting adults.
Wait... are you saying maybe they were consenting to being run over? Because I went from sad to spitting out coffee reading this one. If that's what you meant it might be one of the most beautiful dick comments I've read in ages.
"They were asking for it. Did you see how they were dressed?" mfw the article shows they were all dressed as road.
Horrific. I hope he's found and brought to justice.
Hes dead jim
This shows Merz is correct in restricting immigration. The AfD will certainly exploit this tragedy.
The AfD will certainly try to exploit this by pretending there is a causal chain that leads directly from immigration of any kind to tragedies like this. No need to do it for them already before they even started.
PS:
Police announced the attacker was a German citizen, born and raised in the country.
Are you familiar with the quote "He is not an Irishman. He was born in Ireland; but being born in a stable does not make a man a horse." - Daniel O'Connell, about the Englishman the Duke of Wellington.
Are you familiar with the term racism?
Of Lebanese descent. It remains to be seen on what basis was his parents admitted.
Oh fuck right off with this shit. Last time when some fuck in Germany started measuring people's generational blood, he had to paint the wall with his brain in the end, and that was the only good thing he did.
