27 days. Video.

Still waiting. Now 35 days which means 5 weeks.😟

inacceptable -- there are schedules to keep, and if you are playing to these you can simply forget about it with an agency working like Pond5 now!

Working? Nobody works there. They are all on eternal vacation living on our 50% and Investors $$$, as I said long ago.

changing the title seems to be of more importance to you than the whole massacre, dont you have other things to worry about? sorry but your ongoing nagging about something so pedantic is not of my concern

super nasty and unnecessary remark! thanks

i posted the article when the attacks had just happened and media were reporting 100 dead, you can see the url has the number 100, and then the number went up to 140 and then to 159 and then it went down, i updated it once, but i am not going to change the title for every update sorry

And that's exactly I am saying just delete "140 dead" from that Subject line and leave: "Terrorist attack in Paris".

but if you don't see the need for it...nothing I can do.  :-X

what?? youre a bit weird sorry

Well if you don't want to change 140 to 130, then better change this title to
"Terrorist attack in Paris"

Because where/how did you get to 140 dead?

Again, RIP all innocent victims.  :(

I rather leave it. I find it  pedantic and premature  to suggest

"The number of people killed in last week's coordinated terror attacks in Paris has now risen to 130, according to French Prime Minister Manuel Valls. One of scores of people injured in the attacks had died from their wounds in hospital."

You should delete "140 dead"
Reason saying...somebody might think you counted dead terrorists too. 
Just saying....

Ok, after reading this...I got to say. It's a mess!  :(

"For just $250, one smuggler based in Sulaymaniyah promises to deliver a fake Syrian passport, ID card or birth certificate within 10 days. A second forger in Duhok says he can procure a passport, allegedly with the help of a Syrian embassy official, within four days for a premium price of $2,500."

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/17/how-easy-is-it-to-buy-fake-syrian-passport

We have people to interview migrants and the purpose of this interview is to establish nationality, said Ewa Moncure, a Frontex spokeswoman. They may say no, this persons accent is not from Syria and if they have any doubt they will ask follow-up questions, to test a migrants knowledge of life in Syria. But Moncure admitted that not all Greek islands were staffed with specialists who can examine the authenticity of passports. You cant say that wherever there is Frontex activity, there is a document expert.

I find it disappointing so many people here don't support doing anything about ISIS. They control land and have a standing Army.

Who armed them?

Who create them?

People like this have always existed. They have just gone by different names like *, Communists, Socialists, etc.

You are afraid of being a victim of ISIS, but you refuse to understand the truth behind the whole thing. You just want to stop them somehow. It doesn't work in that way. Even you stop them, there will be another group supported by someone for some reason and they will continue what ISIS is doing now. You have to kill the cause, not the result.

ISIS is the cause. The murders in Paris are the result.

Your little brain... People like you have always existed. They have just gone by different names like *******

Typical. Leftwing people always bring out the insults when they disagree with people. Did I insult you? No. I just have a different point of view. You should go join ISIS. You would fit in.

I am calling Leaf on this one.... isn't this an insult?
Shame on you, senior MSG member!

In Norway Brevik was a lonely crazy young man who used right wing extremists fake reasons to kill students.

Mostly it is lonely young men that can be radicalised and either out of themselves or with a few friends commit horrible things. For me this includes the school shootings etc...

Frustrated, lonely, disconnected from the world around them. Societies with high unemployment and low propspects for a good future have in proportion many more than countries with good quality life. But we still have enough frustrated young men that can be radicalised by extremists radical ideologies or religions.

So how do you reach out to them before they kill?

Most of the attackers in France where known to the French authorities and it was clear they had the potential to kill. But you cannot simply lock them up...just in case...there are too many people and in a democratic country you can't do this.


 "His family needed the money, and this was the only opportunity to provide for them."

 Recruitment [of ISIS] plays upon desires of adventure, activism, romance, power, belonging, along with spiritual fulfillment.

 The Americans came, he said. They took away Saddam, but they also took away our security. I didnt like Saddam, we were starving then, but at least we didnt have war. When you came here, the civil war started.

I kind of like some people here (no need for them to know who they are) and just because i can't stand their drivel i decided to post what -in my opinion- i consider maybe the 3 best articles posted on the the western media regarding isis and  their motives, and the western world's role in all this including a bonus insight (not that it's difficult to figure out anyway) regarding usa's role in the whole affair.

They were in no way related to refugees.

2 of them were registered as such


Syriens that escaped from IS do attacks in the name of IS?
Please stop talking nonsense.


You don't seem to understand. At least two of the perpetrators were posing as refugees in order to gain access to Europe, but they were in fact IS fighters. It's a fact. They came in by boat via Greece and were actually registered there as refugee.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/14/us-france-shooting-greece-idUSKCN0T312W20151114#ZWXWb3Yt8sAkXiqm.97


while these details may or may not be true, quoting Reuters, OF ALL "SOURCES", to kind-a "prove" something to be a fact is a very bad idea: Reuters is an integral -- as in very central! -- part of that group of global companies that those "suppliers of arms" (quoted elsewhere in this thread) belong to.

Just saying...


Amen!

The terrorists have enough people with european or us passports and enough money to take a plane to go wherever they like. Isis is taking in over 1 million dollars a day just from selling syrian oil.

Their people dont need to treck across europe in sandals with babies.

Much easier to go the legal route.

Ask yourself, why Greece hasnt had extremist attacks although they have been flooded for years with refugees.
I totally agree, the refugees hide terrorists argument is perfect for those opposed to immigration. Just like Donald Trump standing on his high horse bellowing out the need to arm the entire population of the world with guns. MORE GUNS, that would fix this problem.

Thank you both, well said!

I'm sorry, what are talking about? That "registration" wasn't even a quarter of a measure, it was sad joke. The doors to Europe were kicked open from the inside in the most extreme way possible. Actually it was so extreme they were rushing to transport people in before there was time screen them. Just complete lunacy.


Let's not jump with conclusions, 2 passports could be stolen too....who knows...
Maybe those 2 were not terrorists at the time they entered Greece so additional screening would be pointless (not to mention impossible, as Lesbos island for sure doesn't have capacity for it!!!). But, once treated how they were treated they became an easy targets for ISIS. Without hope and money, vulnerable and weak in every sense, many disappointed in life, Europe and there we go... offered money to blown themselves up and they just did it.

Refugees are escaping the same (actually much worse) that we just saw in Paris.


That's not up for debate anymore, 3 of these terrorists came in with recent migrant surge, fingerprints were identified.


I have no idea where do you get your news. But what you just said HAS NOT being said anywhere in media. Only one suicide bomber might be a "refugee".


Clueless? Cnn, afp, resuters - many. Three fake recent turkish passports, ferry ticket from greece... btw, even one would be too many.


Could you please copy and paste a link (CNN, AFP...)  where anyone said 3 of 8 terrorists were refugees?

Let's not jump into conclusions and called refugees terrorists here, please!


http://edition.cnn.com/2015/11/15/world/paris-attacks/index.html

Don't put words into my mouth (ever) I didn't call any refugees terrorists, I said they hide among them. I actually never even wrote refugees, since they are migrants, coming from turkey  - where there is no war.


Ok you didn't directly call refugees terrorist, but you did previously say that 3 out of 8 entered EU as refugees, which is NOT true!!!

This link you provided is also talking about only ONE terrorist ...

"...One of three bombers who detonated themselves at the Stade de France late Friday arrived on the Greek island of Leros on October 3 among numerous Syrian refugees, Amanpour reported, citing an unnamed French senator who was briefed by the Ministry of the Interior."


Let the investigation finish their job and get those criminals involved punish!
