Likewise.
In addition i hope that these atrocities don't add to the already growing aversion against the refugees.

This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
So sad...
The civilized world morns for those who lost their lives and condemns those who have so little value for human life...
Our sorrow knows no bounds...
May the people of France hold their heads high as we all feel their pain and stand with them against these kinds of terrorist horrors.

These are my thoughts I put up both on my Facebook and on another forum I visit and post at.
My heart goes out to the people of France. I potentially have relatives living in France and Belgium as that is where part of may family originated. I hope people find their loved ones and those that have lost...may they at least find peace and solace knowing sooner or later...this heinous act will be avenged in some way.
For me...Compassion is something that is the very definition of the best of Human Nature. The ability to care for and help another being, regardless of species. People like ISIS view this though as a weakness. They view our willingness to help as something to take advantage of and than bring atrocities like this to people who have no stake in their fight. Why? Power. They want to rule not in the name of "God" but rather for themselves and say "This is God's will!". They prey on people who have no hope, program them to do the unthinkable in the false hope they will go to heaven a Martyr if they die killing "the enemy".
So how do we win? We never stop showing the Compassion and Faith in the better side of Human Nature. To do so would be to hand these dishonorable lowlifes a victory. They claim they want us to fight them on the ground and prove we are Men. They don't deserve that honor. They deserve nothing less than death from above by bombs. But if they want to see how we fight on the ground...fine.
Reason I say that is this. There is a time for Compassion and than there is a time to be the Shield and Sword for those who can not protect themselves against something as Barbaric...as utterly Inhuman...as utterly Evil as ISIS/ISIL.
They behead anyone who won't turn to their "belief system". Destroy important, ancient ruins connected to our past. They force women and young girls into both Sexual (I apologize to the Mods for the use of this word.) Slavery and marrying them off. They kill ANYONE remotely different to them. They have threatened repeatedly to visit this evil wherever they can in the world...and they may have started now with Paris tonight.
I say it is time to bring the Hammer down and show ISIS/ISIL what happens when you push good people too far. If they wish to get Brutal...than we show them the meaning of Brutal and the words "No mercy. No quarter given."
I am not saying we do this with glee. I say this...
When an ISIS fighter looks up in the eyes of the soldier of ours who is going to kill them...he doesn't see a smile or anything. Just a sad or even neutral face. Sad at it having coming to them needing to die. Neutral in that we know their deaths are better for the countless innocent lives that will be saved. We come at them not in anger...but in a sad, cold, relentless fury.

May God in His infinite wisdom and mercy grant peace and solace to those affected by these terrible events in Paris. All I have are prayers for the people of France. But all of France is more than welcome to all of those you want.

My wish is that those that are still being held hostage will make it home safely at the end of the night. Sadly, we already know that this has not been the case for many that have been subjected to these attacks. Nevertheless, I want salute the police officers that have already rescued some and are endeavoring to save still more, along with the Parisians that are perservering in the face of adversity. To the families and friends of those that will not make it home, however, I can only offer my heartfelt condolences.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

I completely agree. In the words of Captain Picard, "The line must be drawn here. This far, no further!"
We can't afford to keep tucking tail in the face of this vile force. We must take action and destroy them before they can do more harm. Peace is always desirable above war, but when the enemy gives us no choice, we have to stand and fight.

Now the anger is setting in. God help me, the amount of completely unprintable things I want to put here... >:(

My thoughts go out to everyone in France tonight. I've already been calling friends in Paris to make sure they were safe. There really are no words.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!
In addition i hope that these atrocities don't add to the already growing aversion against the refugees.
I personally think this might be one of the consequences. People are not good at... not falling into blind rage.
