    Melbourne siege a 'terrorist incident' - BBC News[^] Paris's Notre-Dame: Attacker shot outside cathedral - BBC News[^] Iran attacks: Twin assaults on parliament and shrine rock Tehran - CNN.com[^] 3 horrific news in single day. Such attacks are increasing day by day. I don't know what the problem is. Every time attack takes place,there is a common statement from authorities : suspect was known e.g. London attack: UK was warned about third attacker - BBC News[^]. Even 2nd attacker was also the subject of investigation in 2015. Local resident also complained to police regarding his suspicious acts. We are at our own risk? Looking at the current situation,it seems,yes.

    Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

      As far as the Iranian attack is concerned, it appears that the beast (terror) has turned on its master. :) :-D :laugh: As far as the attacks in Europe are concerned, all I can ask is "how is that multi-cultural open borders policy working out for you?"

        Relax, we live in the most peaceful time ever. (google it) It's actually more dangerous for you to take the bus to work. Get out of your social media bubble and learn to filter the news.

                Yes, if the culture being imported is strongly at odds with the natural culture. I have no qualms about keeping people of a criminal mindset in jail away from the non-criminal population, likewise I have no qualms about keeping people with intolerant, hateful, medieval views in intolerant, hateful, medieval countries.

                    Working pretty well here. I have several colleagues from India, Middle East, Africa, Asia. We all go along very well. I don't say everything goes smoothly, there are problems sometimes, but nothing major. Maybe had Europe left the rest of the world alone, it wouldn't be in that situation today.

                      Canada, IIRC, has a relatively restrictive immigration policy. It cannot be compared to the EU's immigration open-borders policy.

                              No, I mean that getting long-term residency in most EU countries has been relatively easy. The children of these long-term residents (who were born in the EU) are, of course, EU citizens.

                                    Working pretty well here. I have several colleagues from India, Middle East, Africa, Asia. We all go along very well. I don't say everything goes smoothly, there are problems sometimes, but nothing major. Maybe had Europe left the rest of the world alone, it wouldn't be in that situation today.

                                    Muslims have a long history of violence, especially when it comes to aggressively infiltrating and finally overthrowing the native population. Whilst it's easy to blame the recent attacks etc on "foreign policy", how do you explain the many other instances of genocide committed by Muslims throughout history? Are you also going to blame the rise in sexual assaults\rape of children by Muslims on foreign policy too? If canada's Muslim population is allowed to grow it will have all the same problems Europe is having now and we'll see how smug you are then.

                                      Yes, if the culture being imported is strongly at odds with the natural culture. I have no qualms about keeping people of a criminal mindset in jail away from the non-criminal population, likewise I have no qualms about keeping people with intolerant, hateful, medieval views in intolerant, hateful, medieval countries.

                                      How do you determine that? Just based on the person religion and Country?

                                        Yes. It will involve broad strokes and doubtless some eggs will be broken but the omelette will be delicious.

                                          If you live in one of the crazy zone it's still probably more dangerous to take the bus to work, but it might turn out to be a combo in this case.
